Sharia-Free America

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Self for holding this Special Order and for confronting an issue that too many are afraid to name with clarity and conviction.

Sharia law is fundamentally incompatible with our Constitution and the values that define our Nation. Its mission is to expand, influence, and impose control at the expense of basic human rights.

We are currently witnessing the chilling rise of Islamic terrorists who openly adhere to sharia. They reject assimilation. They reject our laws. They reject the very idea of America itself.

Many of my colleagues on the other side have chosen to stay silent. They sit on their hands while sharia law marches through America. They refuse to speak honestly or act with urgency to defend the fundamental rights of the American people.

Let me be very clear: We will not allow sharia to take root in our schools or our institutions. We will not allow it to erode the foundation of our civilization.

This is a defining moment, a test of whether we have the will to defend what has been entrusted to us. That is precisely what we are doing here today, exposing a dangerous ideology and refusing to bow to the pressures of political correctness or intimidation.

If we fail to confront it now, it will not stop. It will continue to expand in an attempt to reshape our society into something unrecognizable, something fundamentally un-American.

We will remain strong, sovereign, and free. Responsibility begins here in this Chamber. It requires the courage of every one of us to stand firm in defense of the principles that have made this country the greatest and most free nation on Earth.

I am proud to join the Sharia-Free America Caucus to stand alongside my colleagues. My thanks to President Trump for restoring law, order, and security.
