CAIR Lashes Out in a Panic Against the Sharia-Free America Congressional Caucus

Texas Representatives Chip Roy and Keith Self officially launched the Sharia-Free America Caucus in the House of Representatives in December. It is a much-needed incentive to counter the insidious rise of Sharia in America. Chip Roy’s website explains:

Sharia is a dominating force that is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution…

Rep. Roy said: “America is facing a threat that directly attacks our Constitution and our Western values: the spread of Sharia law. From Texas to every state in this constitutional republic, instances of Sharia adherents masquerading as ‘refugees’—and in many cases, sleeper cells connected to terrorist organizations—are threatening the American way of life. Those who succumb to this political ideology seek to replace our legal system and Constitution. Under Sharia law, there is no freedom of speech, religion, or women’s rights. Europe should be a wake-up call to America, showing what the spread of Sharia law looks like. America’s immigration system must brace to take on this battle, not only to preserve our constitutional republic but to take charge in the spiritual warfare and defend our Judeo-Christian values. I am proud to co-chair this caucus with Keith Self, as it is important that our colleagues know the state of play; the preservation of America, Western civilization, and its people depend on it.”

Rep. Self said: “The American way of life is under siege by radicals from a culture waging war against our Constitution and Western values. We’ve seen what happens when nations allow this infiltration: countries like France and England are on the verge of losing their identity and sovereignty. The same forces are at play here in America today, and if we don’t stop them, they will conquer our country too. I am proud to co-lead the Sharia Free America Caucus with Congressman Chip Roy to defend our Constitution, preserve our freedoms, and make America a Sharia-free nation—once and for all.”

In February, Robert Spencer testified before Congress about the Sharia. See HERE. It was part of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government hearing, “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law Are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.”

The hearing  discussed: “Sharia law-based legal and civic institutions, how these alternative institutions are contrary to America’s founding principles, and how they may violate federal law and the Constitution.” It also examined “proposed legislative reforms that would protect all Americans from efforts to establish alternative, Sharia-based institutions.”

It should be expected that the powerful Islamic lobby, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), would fight back tooth and nail, perhaps like they never have before, given the gravity and potential impact of the Sharia Free America Caucus to their operations, particularly given that Texas and Florida have designated CAIR a terrorist organization. CAIR referenced the Caucus an “anti-Muslim hate group,” despite its comprising of 60 members of Congress. “CAIR Welcomes Congressional Letter Opposing Anti?Muslim Hate Caucus Signed By 119 Senators and Representatives,” CAIR, June 8, 2026:

The Council on American?Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today welcomed a bicameral congressional letter signed by 119 Members of the U.S. House and Senate that denounces anti-Muslim hate and “opposes” and “express[es] serious concern” about creation of the so?called “Sharia?Free America Caucus,” an anti?Muslim hate group promoting fascist legislation and policies meant to ban American Muslims from their nation.

The letter, led by U.S. Representatives James E. Clyburn, André Carson, Rosa DeLauro, Hank Johnson, Ro Khanna, Jerry Nadler, and U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen, warns that the hate caucus promotes legislation that discriminates against American Muslims and undermines the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom.

CAIR previously designated the House’s “Sharia?Free America Caucus” as an anti?Muslim hate group masquerading as a congressional caucus, noting that it seeks to promote bigotry under the guise of policymaking….

But look:

CAIR obviously has lots to lose in the advancement of the Sharia-Free America Congressional Caucus, as it frantically wields the tired old “Islamophobia” battering ram yet again to resist efforts to keep the Sharia out of America.

The Sharia-Free America caucus needs to forge ahead with support from Americans for the sake of freedom for all. CBN discusses the Caucus:

We must be willing to call evil by its name.

Sharia Law seeks to subjugate women and wage violence against non-Muslims.

Sharia Law seeks to destroy what makes America great.

The Sharia Free America Caucus will lead the charge to stop Sharia Law from advancing in the USA.… https://t.co/jLEg4jEd8e

The Sharia-Free Congressional Caucus is up to 60 members, as it faces off against an aggressive push from the leftist-Islamic alliance to try to quash it.

Ironically, many of the very values that leftists support — even to deviant heights, such as promoting transgender surgery to underage children — the Sharia opposes. The Sharia assigns the death penalty for homosexuality. As for women’s rights, just look to the Taliban or Iran to see the reality of Sharia on display.

CAIR has never advocated for American constitutional values. It is a deceptive special interest group advocating the goals of Hamas and Islamic supremacy in accordance with the Sharia.
