A quiet surge is reshaping American courts in states such as Georgia and Missouri to prevent the encroach of Sharia law.
State legislators are advancing “American Laws for American Courts” (ALAC) and related measures. These laws attempt to keep the U.S. and state constitutions as the sole legal authorities. The message to Americans is clear: no foreign codes and no parallel tribunals. This effort addresses real risks in family law, contracts, child custody, arbitration, and other legal conflicts.
These laws are not instance of intolerance or fearmongering; Sharia principles have clashed with constitutional rights in our nation, and these laws will help prevent such clashes in the future.
The foundation for these laws was laid years ago. Since 2010, about a dozen states have enacted ALAC-style protections. These laws bar courts from enforcing foreign laws that violate American liberties.
Alabama’s 2014 constitutional amendment is a well-known example, but Arizona (2012), Kansas (2012), Louisiana (2010), North Carolina (2013), Oklahoma (2017), South Dakota (2017), Tennessee (2017), and Texas (2017) all followed a similar model.
These laws work to ensure that foreign legal codes—including religious ones like Sharia—cannot override due process, equal protection, or free speech. These laws were passed with bipartisan or supermajority support, often after testimony on honor-based violence, polygamy, or unequal inheritance issues.
While these laws began to be passed more than a decade ago, 2025–2026 marks a new acceleration. In Georgia, Republican State Senator Greg Dolezal introduced SB 486 on Feb. 10, 2026.
“Sharia law has no place in the United States, and it has no place in Georgia,” Dolezal declared. “Only American laws in American courts. No exceptions.”
The bill cleared the committee on Feb. 22 and explicitly prohibits any foreign law that conflicts with Georgia’s constitution. Dolezal, who is now running for lieutenant governor, frames it as a defense of Western civilization against parallel societies.
Missouri State Senator Nick Schroer introduced SB 977, the “No Foreign Laws Act,” which passed the Senate unanimously and now moves to the House. The bill prohibits the application or enforcement of any foreign legal code, including Sharia, if it conflicts with Missouri or U.S. law. Schroer’s rationale is sovereignty-based.
Arizona State Senator Janae Shamp, a Republican, pushed SB 1018 through the Senate in early March 2026. The measure explicitly adds Sharia law to the definition of prohibited foreign law. It tightens statutes against forced marriage, polygamy, and spousal abuse justified by religion. Shamp insists it is not about faith but about legal supremacy. She says that Sharia “in no way, shape, or form is compatible with the U.S. Constitution.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed HB 1471. It reinforces the state’s ban on foreign law and strengthens enforcement against groups promoting conflicting frameworks. In Texas, beyond the headline Proposition 10—which got 94.81% GOP support in March—State Rep. Brent Money launched the Sharia-Free Texas Caucus with Republicans. The caucus plans policy proposals for 2027 to counter “Islamization.”
This state-level momentum feeds national efforts. The bipartisan Sharia-Free America Caucus in Congress—now with dozens of members from more than 20 states—has advanced bills like the No Sharia Act (H.R. 5512) and the Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act (H.R. 5722). House Judiciary hearings in Feb. 2026 titled “Sharia-Free America” amplified the message: one legal system for all Americans.
To turn awareness into concrete commitments, national security expert Frank Gaffney has launched BanSharia.com, a public education initiative and resource hub. The site equips citizens with facts on Sharia supremacism, model legislation, and tools for direct engagement. Visitors are encouraged to ask their representatives and candidates to sign the Sharia-Free Pledge: “I pledge to the citizens of my district and the American people that I will oppose any and all efforts to impose sharia law on them.”
Gaffney’s campaign, featured in recent discussions with Lara Logan and at CPAC 2026, aims to build a nationwide movement of officeholders bound to defend constitutional supremacy.
Critics call the bills redundant or discriminatory. Supporters cite cases in Europe, including U.K. grooming gang reports, to show what they see as failures of prioritizing “cultural sensitivity” over justice. They warn of parallel societies and raise concerns about rights and free speech.
The wave is building because voters and lawmakers increasingly recognize the incompatibility of Sharia with U.S. law. From Dolezal in Georgia to Schroer in Missouri, Shamp in Arizona, and Money in Texas, red-state officials are refusing to repeat Europe’s mistakes. One nation, one law.
As more states join the firewall, the message to newcomers is unmistakable: America welcomes you—but only under American rules.

Banning shit-Ria law is a good first step. Should be following up with the second step banning Is-slum. And if they don’t like it, step number three begin deporting scum bag anti-assimilationist Moose Slimes from America. Closing the border under Trump was a great start. The next logical step would be to prohibit them from migrating here from their shit whole countries. Take a look at the UK. Take a look at Spain. Take a look at France. Now Canada is circling the toilet bowl. We are talking in theory in 2026. By 2056 we could see closed churches and synagogues, turning into mosques. It is not hyperbole. I hope and pray every single day that Americans will wake up to the horror of this cult. It’s evil but more than that. It’s dangerous.

Tucker praised Islamic Sharia law and argued that, “I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam.”

Great beginning

Yes, might want to put a constitutional statement like no foreign government to operate inside of America, Constitution is the only law in America. Article 6
Winston 101 says
My stance remains the same.
If someone seeking entrance into your country believes in a system that you know (because their writings tell you so) is diametrically opposed to your Constitution and Bill of Rights why grant them entry?
As Tony so succinctly stated: “Islam is Islamic law”.
Immigration is to first benefit the host country and certainly not to damage the host country.
The endless Violent Jihad, Lawfare Jihad and Tie-Up-the-Courts Jihad, Prison Jihad, Fraud Jihad, Dominance Jihad, all ultimately funded by infinite petrodollars, is a waste of U.S. time and resources.
It is a very real drain on the U.S. economy and the U.S. taxpayer.
These forms of Jihad damage the United States because they all weaken the United States.
How does granting Islam entry into the United States benefit the United States?
It’s very clear how it damages the United States.
The U.S. government is, rightfully, protecting its citizens by finally addressing Iran’s military aggressions towards the U.S. since 1979.
So why grant believers in Islam, who are inspired by that same Islam that Iran believes in,
entry into the U.S.?
“Shia” or “Sunni”, “Moderates” or “Radicals”- all read the same Islamic texts.
No Islamic Roulette with the lives of U.S. citizens. Bar Islam at the U.S. borders.
Billy says
Yes. Islam is Sharia, Islamic Law, against all Non-Muslims as taught by Allah in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 1:5; 3:51,101; 5:48, etc.). Islam’s Muslims fund, create, and promote Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Organizations from Mosques, Muslim Homes, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Muslim Courts, Non-Profits, etc. with Islamic Law and Muslim discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism against ALL NON-MUSLIMS. Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”
Islam’s Muslims are to be Seditionist Terrorists for Allah with MUSLIM MONEY and their MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Wellington says
Any Democrats involved in this laudable initiative? I highly doubt it.
The continued greatness of America and the continued life of the modern Democratic Party arguably forms the most significant and telling inverse proportionality in all of American history.

ISLAMIC LAW THREATENS AMERICA
Why do my fellow Americans so consistently use the less specific ‘sharia law’ meme?
It’s ISLAMIC LAW!

Good point. Thanks for pointing that out.
ploome says
what can we, the people do to stop it?
Winston 101 says
plume,
Just in case it helps you.
Do a search to get the names of the members of the House of Representatives that are on the “Sharia Free America Caucus”. Their language is not perfect but it’s good. You can use the correct language in your correspondence.
Send e-mails to thank them and let them know you support their efforts.
Here are some politicians that seem to be working toward something good. I think it’s a good idea to encourage them.
As you see fit, contact any of your City, State and Federal Representatives and Senators.
Let them know that you do not support Islamic Law as it is blatantly unconstitutional.
How much detail you go into would be up to you.
Anyway, as I said – just in case it helps
Winston 101 says
UPDATE: Unless you are in a Representative’s State district there is no way to contact a member of the House of Representatives by e-mail. E-mail contact is limited to their district’s constituents.
You have to write a physical letter. (I know, but writing a brief note of encouragement and “Thank You” is a small price to pay when encouraging the defeat of Islamic Law.)
You must include your return address on the envelope:
The address is: The Honorable Chip Roy
United States House of Representatives
Washington D.C. 20515
On the other hand e-mail contact IS available for your local, State and Federal representatives.

+1 for both of your posts.

The last I read, a few days ago, there were 60 government reps who had joined the caucus.
The opponents of the laws, say they are repetitive, redundant, etc. But if the existing laws can be loopholed by the muzzies and their supporters, they are not good enough.
And the opponents complain. that naming the ‘law’ of islime is discriminatory. In a way, yes. And being discriminatory in their lawmaking decisions is a large part of what the government reps are supposed to do.
If certain aspects are not named, then that creates loopholes lawyers exploit to their client’s advantage.
Those who have studied law, or even just some court decisions, have seen cases where loopholes were used by criminal elements to do as they want….commit crimes without fear of prosecution.
If the new laws chap the hide of muzzies, then we know they are important new laws..
Walter Sieruk says
Americans should be aware of those stealth jihad- minded Muslims who are living in Texas and States in America who attempt to have Sharia law enacted in this country. As the members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Those facts that this is the United States, and has something that is far better than Sharia law. It’s the US Constitution. This is America, not Saudi Arabia or Iran.
As the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Walter Sieruk says
Attempting to fuse together the United States Constitution with Sharia is just like trying to mix oil and water together.
Troybeam says
In order to defeat Islam people must understand about sharia law, people will look at those billboards and wonder what is sharia, part of Islam’s religious stuff.
To do this correctly it should be posted using exact quotes from Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic Sacred Law, aka sharia law. It will piss Islam off but they cannot hide behind the 1st Amendment using their own words and beliefs against them to get people to understand.
Winston 101 says
Troybeam,
Agree 💯%!
James Lincoln says
Decades ago, in a much saner United States, it would be inconceivable to think that state lawmakers would have to erect firewalls against sharia.
And we didn’t need lawmakers/courts to define what a woman is.
Crazy times.

James, your post reminds me of the latest jackson-brown proclamation….go to Japan, lose your wallet, tell the police, and you would have “allegiance” to that nation. Or, go to Japan and steal someone’s wallet and that means you have “allegiance” to Japan.;
The world is going stupid.

Thank you, Winston. I thought I got her hyphen name (a trend I find stupid) backward, but you knew who I meant, so all’s ok, I guess.
I agree. She’s already there. I can see her in the group with her, they are fighting to be at the top.

Maybe you had a right first time:
She’s definitely “Running on Empty”…

thank you, James. He’s so much easier to listen to than is she.

A little OT
“Breaking impeachment news: Hearings on Tim Walz, Keith Ellison impeachment to begin next week”
“Impeachment hearings against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will officially begin next week, Republican members of the state House Freedom Caucus announced Thursday.
The impeachment hearings, which are centered around the conduct of both Democratic politicians regarding the state’s entitlement-scam scandal, could bring a trial in the state Senate.
The Minnesota House Freedom Caucus announced in a “quick update” that the impeachment hearings will begin on April 15.
“It is confirmed that we have impeachment hearings next week, Wednesday, in Rules Committee,” legislators said in the video. “Please tune in.”
While Walz has declared he won’t seek another term as governor after the Feeding Our Futures scandal unraveled in the last half of 2025, Minnesota Republicans decided earlier this year that they want him gone before his term is out in January of next year.
A House resolution filed last month would impeach Walz “for corrupt conduct in office” due to “concealing or permitting others to conceal widespread fraud within Minnesota state-administered programs despite repeated warnings, audits, reports, and public indicators of systematic abuse.
The articles added he “was made aware, through briefings, audits, agency reports, or public findings, of substantial and ongoing fraud involving taxpayer money within state programs; failed to take timely and effective action to halt fraud in state programs despite possessing executive authority to do so; allowed fraudulent activity to continue after credible warnings were raised; and created or tolerated an environment in which disclosure of fraud was delayed, minimized, or obscured from legislators and the public.”
The articles against Ellison will be similar, KMSP-TV reported last month, along with “crimes and misdemeanors” related to his conduct in office.
GOP state Rep. Mike Wiener, who authored drafts of the resolutions, also said that Ellison had been active in “undermining” the FACE Act by defending protesters who entered a church in St. Paul during protests in the city; several individuals, including former CNN journalist Don Lemon, now face charges in that case.”

Since 2010, 3 ALAC and 2 anti-FGM bills were submitted to the Red-Green Axis advocates in the Maine Legislature. All failed. It would be a long shot to try again since the apologists for Islam and the ProMo in Augusta are even worse now.
Secondly, Mamdani went to Bowdoin College. That once highly respected institution has now become a bad joke. But, the useful idiots in that community of Brunswick are wetting their collective panties that NYC elected a Commie AND an Islamist for mayor.
Lastly, Minnesota gets most of the attention regarding Somali fraud, but it’s extremely bad in Maine as well. The political hacks had been warned about the money laundering in the Portland and Lewiston Halal shops by Act for America-ME members since 2011 and nothing was done which allowed it to metastasize.
Still think the “system” isn’t broken?
Tim gallagher says
Good to see the sign but it is too mild. It should say sharia will destroy America and every other civilised non Muslim country. It more than threatens, it is a dead certainty to destroy all civilised societies. Letting Muslims poison our societies is, without doubt, the dumbest move in human history. When it comes to islam, far too many people, and most politicians, are lazy, know nothing fuckwits. Future generations will curse the idiots for destroying our societies.

No Sharia in America period!
