Metro and State Critic says anti-Sharia bill 'polarizes people based on fear' The Detroit News
"Detroit— Prominent Muslim leaders and others on Tuesday announced their opposition to a bill to ban 'foreign laws' in Michigan, calling the measure a racist attack on Islam.
State Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Harvey Santana, D-Detroit, joined activists at a press conference outside Cadillac Place in Midtown to denounce a bill sponsored by Rep. Dave Agema, R-Grandville, to outlaw state courts from implementing foreign laws, including Sharia, or Islamic law.
'I'm appalled as the first Muslim woman serving in the Michigan legislature,' Tlaib said. 'This is taking a community and casting suspicion on them … targeting them, and it's completely wrong.
'It's racism at its core.'
Agema has called bigotry allegations 'hogwash.'
Santana said the bill 'polarizes people based on fear.'
'The real fear here is diversity,' Santana said.
Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, attended the event Tuesday and said his group plans to file a lawsuit if the legislation is passed.
A House committee has yet to take up the bill"
