U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) thinks Islamic extremism is still one of the biggest threats to America and Western Civilization.

Tuberville, who is also a candidate for Governor in 2026, took to the floor of the Senate Wednesday to call attention to the continuing threat from Radical Islamists around the world.

“Mr. President, I come to floor today to talk about one of the greatest threats facing our country today, Islamic extremism,” Tuberville said. “You know, 24 years ago, September 11, 2001 nearly 3000 innocent Americans were murdered in a coordinated terrorist attack carried out by radical Islamic extreme extremism. Those of us who lived through that day remember exactly where we were when those planes hit the buildings. That day changed this country forever. We were smacked in the face with the reality that there are people who are so hell bent on destroying America that they will kill themselves just to try to harm us. That’s reality. It sends shivers down your spine, but it’s true.”

The senator also pointed out the hypocrisy from the left on the issue.

Everyone, but especially feminist groups should be outraged about this horrible abuse of women, but that doesn’t fit the left’s narrative,” he argued. “So you won’t hear a peep from liberal so called feminists about the disgusting treatment of women in radical Islamic countries. You also won’t hear from Democrats about how radical Islamic terrorists are currently carrying out a mass genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Think about this. More than 62,000 Christians have been slaughtered since 2,000 by radical Islamic terrorists in Nigeria. You heard that right, 62,000. And just this year alone, more than 7,000 Nigerian Christians have been murdered because of their faith alone. You can’t turn on the TV without hearing about Israel’s so called mass genocide of Palestinians every day. And yet, when it comes to 62,000 Christians being slaughtered by radical Muslims, it’s radio silence.”

Tuberville believes one thing that must be done immediately in the U.S. to fight back against this radical ideology is ban any implementation of Sharia law in America.

“That’s what our forefathers fought for if you want to come here legally practice a peaceful version of Islam and blend into our society by adopting the treasured American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, you are welcome to do so, but if you believe that Sharia law supersedes American law, you should be deported immediately,” he said. “If we don’t take a stand now our way of Life, our Christian values, our freedoms and our national identity will disappear. There is only room for one law in this country, and that’s the Constitution of the United States of America. Sharia law is an anti American and has no place in a free society.”
