WASHINGTON, D.C.—During a press conference of the No Sharia Law House Caucus, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) expressed that Islam and Sharia Law are incompatible with American governing principles, were brought to the U.S. through immigration policy, claiming they pose a threat similar to what he describes happening in Europe.
“Sharia Law and Radical Islam have no place in the United States. You know, there's a fundamental truth that I think we've got to recognize, which is that not all cultures are created equal, and they are not all equally compatible with America's governing framework,” Rep. Gills stated.
“The reality is that radical Islam is a political ideology, has a very different conception of freedom of speech than we have in the United States.
A very different conception of freedom of religion, a separation of church and state, or of mosque and state. As long as a political ideology is inherently imperialistic, and we see that now, unfortunately, all over the Western world, and I think the question that we have to ask ourselves is, why are we seeing this in the West, and why are we seeing this in the United States? Why are we saying terrorist attacks from radical Islam within our own borders? Where did this come from?
Islam is largely alien to American history. It certainly didn't come into the United States on the Mayflower. It's something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country, and it's gonna destroy us just like it's destroying Europe right now.
It's our job to stand up for that, to stand up for our values, and to prohibit alien cultures, and alien ideologies that do not comport with our own government governing framework.”
