Shariah ban Violates Muslim, Jewish, and Christian American Civil Liberties

By: Qasim Rashid

“Since Oklahoma became the first state in the nation to pass anti-Shari‘ah legislation in July 2010, at least 20 more states passed, or attempted to pass, legislation banning Shari‘ah. Those trying to ban Shari‘ah consistently lack an understanding of exactly what is being banned. This paper demonstrates that these legislations violate fundamental Muslim-American civil liberties, and ironically, those rights of Jewish and Christian Americans as well.”
