Tennessee’s legislature is considering making following some versions of Shariah law felonies, as reported here. The bills are SB1028/HB1353.
The bill’s sponsor, Republican Sen. Bill Ketron of Murfreesboro, said the proposal exempts the peaceful practice of Islam but seeks to condemn those “who take Shariah law to the other extreme.” He said it would give state and local law enforcement officials “a powerful counterterrorism tool.”
