Starting yesterday, the state of Texas opened early voting for the March 3 Republican Primary. Texas has an “open” primary system, meaning Democrats, independents and, yes, even jihadists can vote on the ballot’s Proposition 10 which simply says, “Texas should prohibit Sharia law.”
The Republican Party of Texas included banning Sharia law in Texas as a proposition on the March Republican primary ballot. The ballot measure isn’t complicated, it simply says “Texas should ban Sharia law.”
Proposition 10 was prompted by increasingly aggressive efforts by Sharia-supremacists to demand accommodations that would translate into non-Muslims’ submission to their totalitarian code.
These include: the creation of what amount to Muslim-only communities; taxpayer subsidies for jihadist Islamic organizations; mosque tribunals administering anti-constitutional Sharia restrictions; and measures that effectively oblige everyone to consume “halal” foods consecrated to the Muslim god, Allah.
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey released Thursday, 77% of likely U.S. voters are concerned about the influence of radical Islam in America; 41% say they are very concerned. Only 18% polled say they “aren’t concerned about radical Islam.”
Texas should indeed ban Sharia, and a resounding vote to do so there will encourage the rest of America to do the same. Sharia has no place in America, as it is simply incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and Western civilization. Texas and other states must take this threat seriously by banning Sharia, defending our Western values, and protecting our American way of life.
