What is anti-sharia law?
A ban on sharia law is legislation that prohibits the implementation of Islamic law in courts in any civil jurisdiction.
Our Advocacy Efforts:
While no such legislation was introduced this legislative session, based on prior experience, it is possible that such a bill will be introduced again in the future. Indiana Muslim Advocacy Network opposes any proposed Anti Sharia legislation because:
(1) Such a legislation attempts to address a non-existent problem;
(2) It will be used as a premise to promote anti Muslim propaganda;
(3) It will provide a potential forum for hate speech against the Indiana Muslim community;
(4) Such a legislation has the potential for creating a lot of bad press for the State of Indiana.
