Denmark’s leadership is weighing a ban on the Islamic call to prayer.
Morten Bødskov, a member of the center-left Social Democrats party, said, “The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops. It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn’t be in any doubt whether you’ve ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark.”
He explained, as per The Telegraph, that “Islamisation” in Denmark has been “taking up too much of the public space.”
Meanwhile, lawmakers have taken steps to mitigate the spread of Islam in the United States. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced a bill that bans radical religious leaders, such as those backing Sharia Law and foreign clerics, from entering the country. The bill, called the Inhibiting Militant Adversarial Mullahs (IMAN) Act, amends immigration law to deny nonimmigrant religious worker visas to Imams, Shaykhas, Muftis, Ayatollahs, and others with Islamic leadership positions from entering the country.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill earlier this year that prohibits Florida courts from using foreign or religious laws. Under HB 1471, a “court, administrative law judge, hearing officer, agency, arbitration panel, or any other authority or tribunal, established by law or agreement of the parties may not apply any provision of foreign law or religious law that would result in a violation of a person’s rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution or the State Constitution.” It notes that a court cannot enforce a “foreign judgment or order that is the result of the application of any provision of foreign law or religious law which is inconsistent with a person’s rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution or the State Constitution or which violates the public policy of the United States or this state by being repugnant to fundamental principles of what is decent and just.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has also investigated the presence of Islamic courts in the state.
