Defeat Sharia Law in America Act

The Defeat Sharia Law in America Act is a legislative proposal that aims to prevent the use or recognition of Sharia law within the American legal system. If enacted, the bill would likely prohibit federal and state courts from applying foreign or religious legal codes that conflict with the United States Constitution or established domestic laws. This would ensure that all judicial decisions and government actions are based strictly on American legal principles.

For everyday citizens, the bill proposes to clarify that religious legal frameworks cannot supersede civil law in matters such as contracts, family law, or criminal proceedings. While the U.S. Constitution already establishes the supremacy of federal and state law, this legislation seeks to provide specific statutory language to block the integration of Sharia-based rulings. As the bill has only been introduced and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, it currently has no legal effect and would require approval from both chambers of Congress and the President to become law.
