Across our nation and around the world, Islam is on the rise. And, in order to combat this growing threat, some Republican lawmakers have established the Sharia Free America caucus in the House.
Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.
From CBN:
Several House Republicans are uniting against what they call a dangerous Islamic ideology spreading nationwide. Texas Representative Keith Self shared with CBN News why he helped to create the Sharia Free America caucus.
“North Texas has had like 20 mosques in the last two years,” said Self.
The congressman draws a direct connection between a growing Muslim population in his home state to a gradual infiltration of Islamic control.
While Representative Self is concerned about the growing influence of Islam in his state, he’s more concerned about Sharia law, the Islamic law and framework for daily life laid out in the Quran. Sharia is wielded by dictatorships like the Iranian regime to oppress people, and it is entirely incompatible with our Constitution.
While Representatives Self and Chip Roy are leading the fight against Sharia through the Sharia Free America Caucus, they have had several other lawmakers join them. CBN notes that 26 Republican representatives from 17 states have joined the caucus, and all of them are determined to stop Sharia law from being welcomed in America.
Representative Self in particular highlighted an upcoming vote in white Texans will have the chance to decide on the future of Sharia law in the Lone Star State. According to the Representative, Texas voters will see Proposition 10 on the March 3 primary ballot, a proposition that “calls for the prohibition of Sharia Law in the state.”
While Sharia law in America seemed unthinkable just a few years ago, it is now a very real threat. Let’s ask God to protect us from this violent, oppressive, pagan ideology!
