Now that the Islamic State has become a global terror powerhouse, many Muslim leaders have been forced to defend the Islamic faith and denounce the practice of Jihad. But some mosque leaders in Texas appear unwilling to do so.
In May of 2014, an Islamic tribunal in Texas was discovered practicing Sharia law. In response, the Texas legislature passed a bill that outlawed the practice in the Lone Star State.
Last month, a Texas lawmaker sent a questionnaire to Islamic leaders in Texas asking for their opinion on such laws. Their response — if you can call it that — was less than satisfactory. While a commitment to protect Muslims from harm from radical members of their own faith seems uncontroversial, the Islamic leaders refused to commit.
See what the Islamic Leaders had to say about the request on the next page:
You aredemanding that they abandon the very riots of their faith, of what is right and wrong, of justice. Do not fall into the bigoted belief that all Muslims want the barbaric sharia of Saudi Arabia.
Why wasn’t Saudi Arabia on Trump’s banned countries? It promotes terrorism and the worst of Islamic practice.
Get Islam out of America. …
I agree
Amen
Sharia law is communism and control of a people. It’s not allowed in America. Reason is one day they will want everyone under sharia law. Not going to happen.
I hear bulldozers

Their roots will one day throw you from the roof of a building or murder you in the streets. STOP your nonsense. Islam in its original form does not belong in America.
They have to go if they dont assimulate olain and simple NO SHARIAH LAW
What is its “original form”? What is Christianity’s “original form”? Does the Christianity that fostered witch hunts and the Crusades represent modern faith and practice?
Is Christianity practiced the same everywhere? Is the Christianity of a New York liberal the same as Southern Baptist?Are they the same as a Ugandan Catholic (or if you are one of those Christians who deny that Catholics are Christian, a Ugandan Protestant)?
Why is the diversity and evolution of Christianity not also recognized in Islamic faith and practice?
