U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville believes that anyone “practicing” sharia law in the U.S. should be “deported immediately.”
Tuberville made the comments Wednesday during a 13-minute speech on the Senate floor alongside a poster that says, “BAN SHARIA LAW.”
Throughout the speech Tuberville mentioned that “radical Islamic extremists” were a threat to America and even stated that these extremists “want every single freedom loving American dead, bottom line
“They have proven over and over again that they’re willing to do whatever it takes to kill just one American citizen, whatever it takes and it isn’t just happening overseas,” Tuberville said. “It has been allowed to fester and is alive and well in our very own country, just waiting for the right opportunity to attack.”
Throughout the years many conservative politicians have invoked the prospect of “sharia law” taking over America as an Islamophobic and anti-Muslim trope.
In a statement to Al.com, Deputy Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Edward Ahmed Mitchell, said that Tuberville’s remarks were “dangerous hatred against American Muslims” and he could learn about Islam if he took up a months-old offer to visit a Birmingham mosque.
“If Senator Tuberville ever takes up the community’s offer to visit an Alabama mosque, he will learn that Alabama Muslims are following sharia—which means the way to water—when they pray five times a day, fast in Ramadan, give in charity, and follow the laws of the land in which they live,” Mitchell said.
“Senator Tuberville will also learn that American Muslims have consistently opposed all forms of unjust violence, from terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda and ISIS, to the genocide perpetrated by Israeli government in Gaza. This is called moral consistency, and Senator Tuberville should try it.”
Uhh, what does it mean to “practice sharia law”? These laws aren’t in force anywhere in the US.
That’s the best part! Whatever they disagree with can be sharia law, because it’s a radical leftist terrorist communist woke anti-fascist agenda. If you disagree with us you are an antifascist, which is the real fascism, and we will be forced to do fascism against you.
Women are property, dissent is heresy.
In other words, Tommy Tuberville is asking Republicans to self-deport.
Yeah, wow. It’s not enough to keep Sharia law from ruling the land. It’s not even allowed to rule a private individual’s life by choice. So much freedom!
They only want to make sure that the christian version of sharia law is present and active. Christofascism. Believe in their fictional god or else they kill you and your loved ones.
That’s pretty funny, Christian splinter groups like the Amish and Mennonites practice their equivalent of ‘sharia law’ and have been forever.
The Amish/Mennonites are so close to Islam that if they didn’t reject other religions so hard they would be best friends.

So, clearly not a threat to him then?
I guess this means conservatives have to be deported as well since when you remove Allah and replace him with Jesus, they are doing the same shit almost verbatim.
Yes, exactly. Stop all religions. They all do the exact same fucking thing. They try to take over the world, and genocide - well that’s absolutely necessary for their hate religion to do that.
To be replaced by Murica Law. Same difference.
First they came for…
… themselves. They’re coming for themselves. Republicans literally want Sharia law, just with lighter complexion.
Tuberville is one of the most vile, despicable, turds to ever walk the face of this planet. He along with McConnell are the face of government corruption and obstruction that directly led to Trump taking power.
This is like the “should we teach arabic numerals at school” levels of stupid.
Also will they allow murder and ban charity since murder is punishable and alms giving is encouraged in sharia?
Religions are all fictional bullshit, so they’ll make up fictional bullshyit to justtiy whatever they want to do.
You think they follow rules? Because they say that they do? WTF? Don’t be as stupid as they are.
These people are so dumb.
Are they deporting themselves?
Does that include anyone?
I recently though about the fact that ever since Trump is being paid off by sharia law countries, all fear mongering regarding sharia law stopped. I’m sure he’s be told to get in line, should anyone make the connection of sharia support to Trump.
This is to balance out the Qatari air base in Idaho.
I think the message has simply failed to resonate for some time. They dropped the bitching long before Trump came back in.
Kinda like the LGB hate stopped working so they went for T.
