U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) is continuing the fight against the rise of radical Islamism in America.

Moore, who is also a candidate for the U.S. Senate, introduced the Defeat Sharia Law in America Act last week.

The legislation to clarify that discrimination carried out through the implementation of Sharia Law violates the protections guaranteed under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“Our Constitution and the rule of law must always come first in this country,” Moore said. “The Defeat Sharia Law in America Act makes clear that using Sharia Law as a basis to discriminate against Americans violates the Civil Rights Act, and it ensures that foreign legal doctrines cannot undermine the freedoms and equal protections guaranteed by our Constitution.”

Sharia Law is a threat to American communities and values. This is why I introduced the Defeat Sharia Law in America Act with @RepKeithSelf and @Lancegooden.

The congressman is a member of the Sharia-Free America caucus, which was launched earlier this year and is meant to spark conversation throughout the halls of Congress and the entire country about the dangers of Islamic Sharia Law.

“Radical ideologies that reject American values pose a real threat to our communities and our young people,” Moore added. “Congress has a responsibility to ensure that the Constitution, not any foreign or religious legal code, remains the highest law of the land.”

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), who is also a member of the Sharia-Free America caucus, has introduced companion legislation in the upper chamber.

“Radical Islam and Sharia Law are a CANCER,” Tuberville said. “We’ve seen it infiltrate and tear down Europe. We CANNOT let this poisonous DEATH CULT tear down America.”

We CANNOT let this poisonous DEATH CULT tear down America.

Key provisions of the Defeat Sharia Law in America Act include:

Clarifies that establishments covered under Section 201(a) of the Civil Rights Act may not discriminate in providing goods, services, facilities, privileges, or accommodations by implementing Sharia Law.
Establishes that such practices constitute segregation and discrimination in violation of federal civil rights protections.
Adds a rule of construction to prevent the private, unconstitutional implementation of Sharia Law within the United States.
