Islam

Making Islam Illegal?

A Tennessee bill wants to make people that follow Shariah law illegal, resulting in jail time of up to 15 years.

I don't know anything about Shariah law, I plan to do some more research later, but this just seems wrong. From the article: "It [the bill] exempts peaceful practice of Islam but claims Shariah adherents want to replace the Constitution with their religious law. A dozen other states are considering anti-Shariah bills, and there's a federal lawsuit in Oklahoma over one."

I thought we were supposed to be able to practice religious freedom? Interesting...
