Muslim Public Affairs Council, ACLU Launch Convention to Rid US of Anti-Sharia Laws

The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the ACLU have declared a "Capital Hill forum" to discuss Sharia Law, and how Americans can slow and turn back the progress of Anti-Sharia laws and sentiment.

“Sharia has become an inflammatory buzzword that is getting thrown about and used to craft pre-emptive legislation with little to no understanding of what it is and isn’t,” said Director of MPAC's Washington, DC, Office Haris Tarin. “In the face of a wave of anti-sharia bills cropping up all over the country, it’s time for a level-headed adult conversation on the issue.”

The point of the convention, in which four "experts" will speak on the "impact of anti-sharia bill," is to supposedly inform ignorant people of what Muslim law actually is.

"The topic of Islamic jurisprudence in the United States is now becoming a source of heated – and confused – debate," writes MPAC's launch article.

The forum is to take place at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, DC. The experts participating are Noha A. Bakr, Daniel Mach, who is the Director of the ACLU’s Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, "Executive Director" Gerry Serotta, and moderator Haris Tarin.

The official name of the program is A Solution in Search of a Problem: The Impact of Anti-Sharia Bills in America.

The official release reads:

The Muslim Public Affairs Council today announced it will host a Capitol Hill forum on "A Solution in Search of a Problem: The Impact of Anti-Sharia Bills in America" on Monday, June 20, to discuss the impact of state-level bills on various faith communities and the Constitutional guarantee to freedom of religion.

“Sharia has become an inflammatory buzzword that is getting thrown about and used to craft pre-emptive legislation with little to no understanding of what it is and isn’t,” said Haris Tarin, Director of MPAC's Washington, DC, Office. “In the face of a wave of anti-sharia bills cropping up all over the country, it’s time for a level-headed adult conversation on the issue.”

With the emergence of 40 anti-sharia bills in at least 20 states, the topic of Islamic jurisprudence in the United States is now becoming a source of heated – and confused – debate. This panel of experts will analyze what impact anti-sharia bills are having across our nation.
