"Sharia law does not exist in this country in the way that Gillette asserts. There are no Sharia courts, and the U.S. Constitution prevents the establishment of such religious courts. Some Muslim communities may have informal bodies to conduct arbitration or mediation based on religious rules, but they are voluntary for members and are not legally binding."
"Gillette has previously acknowledged that the United States had not designated CAIR as a terrorist organization, but insisted that CAIR worked with other known terrorist organizations; the Mirror found no evidence to substantiate Gillette's claim."
"An allegation that arose out of the trial was that CAIR was an 'unnamed co-conspirator,' which anti-Muslim groups have seized upon in recent years."
A Kingman Republican made controversial posts attacking Muslims, claiming they are 'savages' pushing Sharia law onto America. However, Sharia law does not function in the United States as described; no Sharia courts exist, and the Constitution prohibits religious courts. While the UAE designated CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014, the U.S. government has not done so. The politician previously claimed CAIR worked with known terrorist organizations, but no evidence supports this assertion. The Holy Land Foundation was designated a terrorist organization in 2001 for alleged Hamas support, with five men convicted in 2008. An allegation from that trial labeled CAIR an 'unnamed co-conspirator,' which anti-Muslim groups have used to support unfounded claims.
