Bill Summary
Declaring that Sharia law and political Islam represent an existential threat to the state and country and that any deference to Sharia law by a government institution is prohibited.
AI Summary
This resolution declares that Sharia law and political Islam pose an existential threat to New Hampshire and the United States, based on several detailed claims about Islamic legal practices and their perceived negative impacts. The resolution argues that Sharia law is a comprehensive system of rules derived from Islamic religious texts that governs not only legal matters but also personal conduct, with an alleged goal of global expansion. It highlights what it describes as severe criminal punishments in Sharia-governed countries, including physical punishments like amputation and flogging, and claims that some U.S. locations are already experiencing "Sharia enforcement" through informal Islamic tribunals and community monitoring. The resolution asserts that the concept of "Islamophobia" was strategically developed to advance Sharia law's influence, and it characterizes the spread of Sharia-related practices as a cultural and legal threat. The core resolution demands that no government institution in New Hampshire or the United States should give any deference to Sharia law, and it instructs the house clerk to distribute copies of this resolution to key government officials, including the President, congressional leadership, and state-level representatives.
