Randy Fine’s ‘No Sharia’ Act targets ‘threat to Western civilization’

A new bill from a Florida Congressman would ensure that Islamic law is never the law of the land in the United States.

U.S. Rep. Randy Fine’s “No Sharia Act” targets the legal code imposed in many Muslim-majority countries.

Fine, a first-term Republican representing Florida’s 6th Congressional District, maintains that code is an affront to Western civilization itself.

“Let me be crystal clear: Sharia law has no place in the United States of America,” Fine said. “We cannot and will not allow for foreign values to overtake our country’s legal system. We’ve seen what has happened in the UK and across Europe with the spread of Sharia, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is coming here next. Well, we are not going to let that happen.”

There is currently no location in the U.S. considering adopting Sharia law.

A press release from Fine’s Office nevertheless maintains that Sharia “practices undercut the American values of freedom and undermine the idea of assimilation into American culture, which has been the bedrock for immigrants’ success in this country.”

Furthermore, Sharia law “strips away the rights of women, children, and religious minorities that are central to the American way of life.”

“If you think an adolescent girl in a wedding dress next to a 50-year-old man is ‘cultural,’ you’ve lost your soul. This is America,” Fine said.

“We don’t stone women for speaking. We don’t hang people in the streets for the world to watch and celebrate. We don’t force little girls into marriage or mutilate their genitals in the name of religion. This is not and will never be our America, and the fact that we even have to consider passing a preemptive bill to protect our families and communities from it is disturbing, but this is the world we live in today.”

U.S. Rep. Keith Self of Texas co-introduced the bill, and U.S. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas is among the cosponsors.
