Donald Trump backs ban on Sharia law in United States
During an interview with broadcaster Glenn Beck, President Donald Trump expressed his support for legislation that would prohibit Sharia law within the United States. He argued that the nation must be governed by a single, unified legal system rather than allowing religious codes to operate alongside constitutional law.
Trump claimed that “pockets” of Sharia law are already being practiced in certain parts of the country, though he did not provide specific locations or evidence. He cited London and Paris as cautionary examples where he believes Islamic religious law has become “almost like a second way of life.”
Framing his stance as a matter of “common sense” rather than political ideology, the President stated that authorities should act to remove Sharia law wherever it is detected. He did not specify whether he would pursue this through new federal legislation, executive orders, or existing congressional proposals.
