Texas Mayor Who Stomped On Shariah Court Is Being Attacked By Muslims On All Fronts According to recent reports, the city council of Irving Texas just voted in support of H.B. 563, a bill seeking to ensure that all federal and state laws override foreign laws in the court system. The bill has not been without controversy, with liberals and Muslims deeming the action vindictive and Islamophobic. Some feel that the anti-Shariah legislation is unnecessary. Supporters argue that its proactive. Texas is just one of several states to attempt to pass several laws as of late. In light of recent incidents, it is being viewed as more and more necessary. According to Mayor Beth Van Duyne, the bill does not specifically point to any one specific religion. Instead, it seeks to clarify that any foreign law that interferes with the U.S. or State constitution are not allowed in the court of law.
