US EditionTexas Republicans Launch Sharia-Free America Caucus to Address Sharia Law Influence
Texas Republicans formed a caucus and proposed legislation to block Sharia law influence and revoke tax-exempt status of groups linked to terrorism, citing constitutional threats.
- On Thursday, Chip Roy and Keith Self launched the Sharia-Free America Caucus in the U.S. House, continuing a Texas-led push opposing Sharia law.
- Last month, Gov. Greg Abbott issued three directives targeting Islamic groups, including designating the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations, and ordered probes into an Islamic tribunal in north Texas.
- The Preserving a Sharia‑Free America Act, filed in October, would support a two-page bill directing the U.S. attorney general, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State to bar foreign nationals who observe Sharia.
- CAIR and the Muslim Legal Fund of America sued Abbott, arguing his directives are unconstitutional, while under federal law an FTO designation suspends tax-exempt status and John Cornyn, U.S. Senator , introduced legislation to let the Treasury Department terminate such status.
- Rhetoric escalated with claims of adherents 'masquerading' as refugees and 'sleeper cells', while Sen. Ted Cruz refiled a bill to ban Muslim Brotherhood members from the U.S.
