“Over the last few years, efforts to impose sharia on American communities have taken off, and nowhere more than in my home state of Texas,” Rep. Chip Roy said. “If Texas falls, so does the nation.”
The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on concerns about applications of Islamic law in the United States on Tuesday, with Republicans describing Sharia as a threat to constitutional order and Democrats labeling the proceedings “un-American” hysteria about a religious minority.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), chairman of the constitution and limited government subcommittee that hosted the hearing, said that his home state was the epicenter of a movement to introduce Islamic law in America.
“Over the last few years, efforts to impose sharia on American communities have taken off, and nowhere more than in my home state of Texas,” Roy said. “If Texas falls, so does the nation.”
