A pair of Texas congressman, Chip Roy and Keith Self, have launched the new ‘Sharia Free America’ Caucus to deal with the rise of anti-American Sharia here in the U.S.<\/p>\n
“This issue is becoming one that is getting a lot of traction, and it’s getting a lot of attention” said Brandon Waltens, editor at Texas Scorecard.<\/p>\n
The goal is simple, to prevent what’s already happening in Europe, from happening here in the U.S.<\/p>\n
“I think the fact that you see this caucus starting in Washington D.C. is at least a positive sign that lawmakers are at least starting to take notice” Waltens told KTRH.<\/p>\n
They have already taken notice here in Texas, where Governor Greg Abbott signed new laws in September banning Sharia law, and Sharia compounds.<\/p>\n
“Certainly we’ve seen concerns in Houston and some of the other big urban areas” noted Waltens, “There is a real concern here, this comes after Governor Greg Abbott has already listed groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations.”<\/p>\n
Recent Islamic violence in the U.S. is on the rise. The caucus is backed U.S. Sen.
