,,iv #aaith ,,congress #b;d ,session ,h4 ,,con4 ,,res4 #aaf ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of ,,representatives ,september #c1 #bjbf,mr4 ,self 7for himself1 ,mr4 ,weber of ,texas1 ,mr4 ,fuller1 ,mr4 ,carter of ,georgia1 ,mr4 ,crane1 ,mr4 ,gosar1 ,mr4 ,van ,orden1 ,mr4 ,brecheen1 ,mr4 ,moore of ,alabama1 and ,mr4 ,kelly of ,pennsylvania7 submitted the following concurrent resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on the ,judiciary ,,concurrent ,,resolution ,denouncing ,sharia law in the ,united ,states4 ,whereas the primary role of elected officials in the ,united ,states of ,america is to provide for the security and protections of its citizens as well as preserving the liberties provided to them by the ,nation's ,founders2 ,whereas the ,constitution of the ,united ,states of ,america and the laws made pursuant thereto are the supreme law of the ,united ,states of ,america2 ,whereas any legal or political doctrine that places itself above the ,constitution threatens the stability and unity of the ,nation2 ,whereas1 to preserve ,western values and the ,american social compact1 the ,nation must insist on assimilation into the constitutional order2 ,whereas the people of the ,united ,states of ,america desire to preserve the blessings of liberty and the rule of law for themselves and their posterity and ensure that no foreign legal or political systems in conflict or incompatible with the ,nation's laws1 traditions1 and individual liberties are applied in the ,united ,states2 ,whereas ,sharia law presents as religious while functioning as a political and legal order2 ,whereas ,islamic jurisprudence 7,sharia7 has functioned not merely as a religious liturgy1 but also as a comprehensive political1 legal1 social1 and economic system1 deriving from primary ,islamic texts1 the ,quran and ,hadith1 as well as jurisprudential sources such as consensus 7ijma#87 and analogical reasoning 7qiyas71 where these sources collectively produce fiqh1 the interpretive body of ,islamic jurisprudence2 ,whereas ,sharia touches every aspect of life including criminal1 civil1 and commercial law1 economic regulation1 fiscal obligations1 social conduct1 public order1 political authority1 and governance structures2 ,whereas1 while the ,constitution guarantees equal rights1 due process1 and individual autonomy1 ,sharia assigns legal distinctions among individuals and bases authority on religious mandates2 ,whereas ,sharia does not recognize the right to life as evidenced by threatening death for apostasy1 which ,sharia law defines as not being fully ,muslim1 along with threatening death for blasphemy1 which they define as saying anything negative about ,mohammed or ,islam2 ,whereas ,sharia does not recognize the right to liberty as evidenced by forcing submission to ,allah over individual autonomy2 restricting religious freedom and free speech2 no respect for gender equality concerning the rights of women1 those who live unapproved lifestyles1 and the lengthy list of characteristics for which ,united ,states law does not permit discrimination2 and restrictions on those under ,sharia1 including diet and social activities2 ,whereas the supremacy claims of ,sharia have proven to put women1 dissidents1 and non-,muslims into danger from the consequences resulting from ,sharia's unequal legal standards and community-enforced norms1 exposing individuals to pressures that undermine the safety and rights guaranteed in the ,constitution2 ,whereas1 under ,sharia1 women are treated as subservient to men with half the testimonial value and receiving half the inheritance1 often requiring permission for the choices they make2 ,whereas an estimated #bcj1jjj1jjj girls and women worldwide have undergone female genital mutilation1 with the highest incidents in ,muslim-majority nations of parts of ,africa1 the ,middle ,east and ,south ,asia2 ,whereas modern political science research demonstrates that ,sharia operates as a political system in states that incorporate it into their constitutional or statutory law2 ,whereas1 in ,iran1 ,pakistan1 ,egypt1 and ,turkey1 portions of the principles of ,sharia have been put into the government's legal code1 and has been shown to have profound governance implications as it shapes legislative authority and lawmaking processes1 influences judicial organization and legal interpretation1 and generates hybrid legal regimes that navigate between doctrinal consistency and pluralistic rights frameworks2 ,whereas ,islam has grown through conquering and forced conversion2 ,whereas1 in #aghf1 ,thomas ,jefferson and ,john ,adams asked the ,ambassador from ,tripoli why his nation attacked peaceful countries with no provocation and he replied that it was their right and duty under their laws of the prophet and the ,quran to make war on all who do not acknowledge ,islamic authority to enslave prisoners1 and that every fighter slain would go to paradise2 ,whereas ,sharia is incompatible with ,american values1 equally1 ,american values are incompatible with the principles held under ,sharia2 ,whereas ,america's way of life is not threatened by a religion1 rather1 it is threatened by those claiming a body of law that asserts jurisdiction over non-,muslims that is explicitly antithetical to the ,united ,states ,constitution and democratic principles2 ,whereas1 on ,august #bf1 #bjbf1 ,president ,donald ,trump acknowledged ,sharia ,law is being implemented in the ,united ,states and supports its prohibition2 and ,whereas ,sharia law is in direct conflict with the ,constitution of the ,united ,states3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that ,congress denounces ,sharia law in all forms1 and opposes any implementation of ,sharia law within the ,united ,states4
