I am hearing a rumbling or two from a community over yonder here in Collin County about what some folks assert is a growing Muslim influence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s in Sachse, a city that staddles the Collin-Dallas County line. Sitting in a city council meeting the other evening, a woman rose to sound an alarm bell about Muslims, and about Islam. She said she is concerned that the community’s Muslim community is going to foist the teaching of “Sharia law” in our public school system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Oops. Can’t happen. Sharia law is a strict Islamic interpretation of the Quran, the Islamic holy book.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As I read the U.S. Constitution, the First Amendment prohibits any law that imposes religious teachings. This is a secular nation, according to the founders’ view. It is not lost on me that they would list the imposition of state religion first as the rights protected under the First Amendment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, when someone complains about “Muslim influence” in our community, they should disabuse themselves of any notion that Sharia law is going to be part of any public school curriculum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is not going to happen! Period! Moreover, if such a matter were imposed and it ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court, hell would freeze over before this court in particular would approve of such a stunning reversal of the First Amendment.<\/p>\r\n\n
