Red States Push Back against Sharia Influence across America

IFA / Just the News : May 12, 2026  Intercessors For America

Islamic Sharia law is incompatible with the United States Constitution.

As concerns over national security, immigration, and cultural influence continue to grow, several Republican-led states are advancing legislation aimed at limiting the influence of radical Islamic ideology in local governance and public life. These efforts are encouraging to see, as well as absolutely necessary to protect constitutional freedoms and preserve America's foundational values.

From Just the News:

As President Donald Trump's second term produces immigration policies, deportations and cultural shifts toward a more concentrated citizen population, red states are passing their own legislation and running candidates focused on thwarting Islamic community developments and reducing their influence.

"This is a major offensive in North Texas right now that I don't understand, but we are pushing back hard. We've got several organizations that are helping us. The governor is doing his part now, so I'm pretty optimistic that people are waking up to the dangers of Sharia in North Texas," Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Just The News.

...

Gov. Greg Abbott moved Tuesday to block a planned Eid al-Adha celebration at the taxpayer-funded Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie. He threatened to withhold $530,000 in state public-safety grants unless the city canceled the event, which was initially advertised as open to "Muslims only."

The article highlights efforts‹ underway in states such as Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas to prevent the implementation or influence of foreign religious law in state courts and public institutions. In Texas, lawmakers have reportedly formed "Sharia-Free" caucuses, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed legislation strengthening restrictions on foreign and religious legal influence in state matters.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma lawmakers reportedly "advanced a constitutional amendment to bar courts and municipalities from applying any foreign or religious law undermining the US or state constitutions," directly combatting Islamic Sharia law. Likewise, in Mississippi, lawmakers reportedly "debated bills barring the application of foreign and religious laws in courts." According to Just the News, this builds on a "decade-long trend" following states like Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arizona, Kansas, North Caroline, and South Dakota, all of which have adopted their own anti-foreign law measures.

Supporters of these measures argue they are intended to preserve constitutional protections and prevent parallel legal systems from emerging within the United States. And to be sure, they are necessary to combat Islam, which some have called the greatest threat to our freedom. Islamic Sharia law is incompatible with the Constitution and has no place in the US.
