New in PJ Media:
President Donald Trump jumped into the ongoing furor over Sharia on Thursday, telling Glenn Beck: “Number one on Sharia law, I would absolutely say that not — this country, there’s no Sharia law.” This comes amid ongoing leftist efforts to portray Sharia as completely benign religious law that patriots only oppose because they’re racists, bigots, and “Islamophobes.” Once again, however, the leftists are wrong and Trump is right.
On Monday night, Michigan’s Marxist Muslim Democrat candidate for Senate, Abdulraham Mohammed El-Sayed, likened Sharia to Roman Catholic canon law when Fox News anchor Jesse Watters asked him about comments El-Sayed had made previously about the allegedly evil people who were daring to oppose Sharia. Watters repeated El-Sayed’s earlier claim as a question: “Getting rid of Sharia law is white supremacy? Can you explain that one?”
El-Sayed responded by saying: “Nobody is trying to push Sharia law on anyone else, just like I hope nobody is trying to push canon law on anybody else, because we live in an America where you should have the freedom of your religion.”
This is the consistent far-left line on Sharia: Catholic canon law is a body of religious laws with which non-Catholics need not concern themselves, and that has no political content. When I testified last February before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Steven Van Zandt), Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Clueless), and Steve Cohen (D-Even More Clueless) doggedly insisted, in the teeth of mountains of evidence, that Sharia was essentially the same thing, although they didn’t mention canon law.
Raskin, Cohen, and Scanlon did then exactly what El-Sayed wants us all to do now: ignore Sharia’s political, supremacist, expansionist, and violent aspects, and pretend that all opposition to it stems solely from an irrational and morally objectionable hatred. Trump, however, on Monday demonstrated that he knew more about Sharia than virtually every leftist spokesman, or at very least that he was willing to confront it in a way in which they were not.
“And you do have pockets of it” in the United States, Trump said, “as you know. I would say no. And you go to London, you go to Paris. It’s almost like a second way of life. It’s ridiculous.”
Indeed. The Daily Mail reported in 2025 that “a 2017 Home Office review found 85 Sharia councils – which interpret this law to pass judgments, known as hadiths, were operating in the UK, prompting the country to be described as ‘the Sharia court capital of the West.’”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Trump has had almost 2 years to ban sharia and has not. He is friends with several radical Muslims and has done NOTHING to stop them from employing sharia law in our country. He turns a blind eye to the Invasion.

Precisely! In fact, when he campaigned in Michigan, he wooed the muslim electorate there, which is one of the explanations offered for why he’s suddenly cooled off towards Israel (w/ which he had very warm relations in the past) and callous towards the de-islamizing Iranian people. I long for the Donald Trump of 2015, but doubt whether we’ll ever see him again
somehistory says
He can’t actually ban it because he doesn’t have the power. It’s rather like the mafia, cosa nostra or the AB.
By law, he cannot ban them, but by law, members can be tried with a violation of the RICO Act.
If Congress passed laws sophistically criminalizing it, then any time a muzzie tried to act, or to force an infidel to act, then that muzzie could be charged.
islime is like the mafia….only worse. RICO could be used to put muzzies in prison for racketeering, extortion, etc.

“He can’t actually ban it because he doesn’t have the power.”
The crux of the issue.
somehistory says
I think he would sign a bill if it passed Congress so there would be no loopholes for muzzies to do their evils…like mutilating little girls and selling their children to old males in pakistan, then bringing them back with their muzzie sex slave owners..
t’s kind of like Congress writing new laws to apply to the internet because the criminals found loopholes in the previous laws written before the internet.
So muzzies skirt some laws through loopholes. With specifics, they couldn’t do that.
Wellington says
Mary Gay Scanlon is my Congresswoman and she is a well-educated fool, impervious to things like facts and common sense. And just imagine what she knows about Islam compared to someone like Robert Spencer. Scanlon is dispositive of the unfortunate reality that presently most of those in government are dunces—or worse.

Leftists who champion Sharia law should be forced to live in Muslim countries.

BAN ISLAM!! It has NO place in Humanity
Walter Sieruk says
President Trump is doing what is right This is because those stealth jihadists scheme and are very active to achieve the Islamic goal of the advancement of Islam and its Sharia, There methods insidious infiltrate of the United States government both dangerously subversive to the US Constitution which those stealth jihadists in that the insidious stealth jihads efforts replace the US Constitution with Islam’s Sharia is somethings that all patriots American need to and should aware of
This Islamic takeover of the city of this, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
Walter Sieruk says
President Trump is absolutely right and righteous for doing everything that he can do to opposes and prohibit Sharia law from being established nationwide in the United States.
For many American politicians and other people in high positions have the spirit of appeasement to the demands to stealth jihadist Muslims.
For the President has taken an oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution as the law of the land of the United States. That Oath includes any subversion of the US Constitution including that of Sharia.
No matter how “reasonable” at first to requests and demand might ,at first appear to be
Those pro- Sharia Muslims .who are stealth jihadists, most likely , know about the Arab fable of the man who owned a tent in the desert and the camel.
So here it is. One cold winter night in the desert a camel; ask a man who was in his tent “It’s so cold outside could you please allow me to just stick my nose in your tent to keep it warm ?” The next night the same camel asked that man “It;s so very cold side would you please allow me to stick my entire head in along with my front shoulders in the tent to keep warm ? That kind but foolish man allowed that camel to do so.
The third night that camel quickly barged into took over the entire tent therefore that camel took total control of that tent.
Therefore, it is with America, the entire land that makes up the United States should not be “taken over and controlled” by Sharia.
Walter Sieruk says
President Trump is indeed, absolutely oppress, :100% having Sharia enacted in this country.
Attempting to fuse US Constitution and Sharia is like trying to mix water and oil together.
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.”
David A White says
Other religious law pertains only to its followers. Much of Sharia instructs on how to treat non-believers.

Foreign law has been banned from day one
