The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing on Tuesday to probe whether sharia law would lead to constitutional violations.

“Tenants of sharia are incompatible with the United States and our constitution,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal before the hearing. “Sharia is central to [Islam], and it is incompatible with the constitution, our way of life, and Western civilization.”

Led by Roy, lawmakers heard testimonies from Stephen Gelé of the Pelican Institute for Public Policy, Robert Spencer of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Krista Schild of the Rise Align Ignite Reclaim Foundation, and George Mason University Professor Ilya Somin.

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., introduced a bill in September to ban sharia law from the U.S. Court System.

Fine was emboldened to introduce the bill because of reporting that claimed defendants charged with crimes like domestic violence have used the Quran in their defense. Some Islamism watchdogs point to part of the Quran that states a man can “beat” a “disobedient woman,” as a legitimate defense to avoid criminal punishment.

“In hundreds of reported cases throughout the U.S., litigants have attempted to apply sharia, often succeeding,” Gelé said during his testimony. “The law applied by such tribunals discriminates based on gender and religion, and in the case of custody disputes, does not apply the best interests of the child standard. Those arbitration tribunals also lack traditional American legal formalities, lessening due process.”

The hearing also focused on compounds that GOP lawmakers claim to embrace sharia law, such as the East Plano Islamic Center outside of Houston.

During her testimony, Schild claimed that EPIC’s imam, Yasir Qadhi, who oversees the compound, pushes Muslim extremist ideology.

“Qadhi has publicly described Jews and Christians as “the most evil of all evils.” And “has hosted events advocating for the release of Aafia Siddiqui, an al-Qaeda operative convicted of attempting to murder U.S. troops.” FIX THE QUOTE MARKS HERE

Schild’s claimed that Qadhi is a “member” of a Hamas-tied “notorious Muslim Brotherhood front group.”

‘These Imams defend stoning adulterers, chopping off hands, killing homosexuals, wife-beating, child marriage, and call Jews filth,” Schild added. “These enclaves run internal Sharia tribunals governing disputes, family, and compliance – outside American law.”

Some of the witnesses, however, claimed the GOP’s attempt to push back on Sharia law is “unconstitutional” and discriminatory.

“Mass expulsion and deportation is not the answer,” Somin said. “This law is unconstitutional.”

She added that deporting those suspected of embracing Sharia law in the United States would give a win to “radical Islamic terrorists” who forced their expulsion from their home countries in the first place.

Democrat lawmakers in attendance at the hearing echoed Somin’s remarks, claiming that the GOP’s push to outlaw sharia is a distraction and compared Islamic compounds to those of the Amish communities.

“We live in a country so great we don’t need these anti-sharia and anti-Muslim legislation,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said during his opening remarks.

Raskin added that Congress is shifting focus to this to avoid talking about “inflation” and the “administration cover-up of the Epstein files.”

The Constitution, according to Raskin, prevents the government from endorsing a certain religion, which he implied that by going against sharia, lawmakers are endorsing other religions, like Christianity or Judaism.

Raskin claimed that members of Congress who advocate for the removal of other members, such as Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over accusations of embracing sharia law, violate the Constitution.  

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., accused anti-sharia lawmakers of “furthering Islamophobia” and “anti-Muslim remarks to score political points.”

She then added that the efforts to ban sharia are a “blatant violation of the First Amendment.”

Nevertheless, Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., stated that the Supreme Court has previously banned polygamy, which is tied to Mormonism, and therefore banning anti-constitutional customs in sharia would not be illegal.

Attorney General Pam Bondi had choice words for Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., after the congressman accused Bondi of perjury and lying under oath while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.  

“Don’t you ever accuse me of a crime!” Bondi snapped at Lieu after he accused her of lying under oath.  

The congressman began his time by questioning Bondi about an explicit photo picturing former Prince Andrew and an unknown woman. Lieu then attempted to link President Donald Trump to Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein attending parties with underage girls.  

“Like former Prince Andrew, Donald Trump attended various parties with Jeffrey Epstein, I want to know, were there any underage girls at that party, or at any party that Trump attended with Jeffrey Epstein?” Lieu asked.

“This is so ridiculous and that they are trying to deflect from all the great things Donald Trump has done. There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime,” claimed Bondi. “Everyone knows that this has been the most transparent presidency,” she continued.  

“I believe you’ve just lied under oath. There is ample evidence in the Epstein files,” Lieu responded.

Lieu then referenced claims made against Trump leading up to the 2020 election that the DOJ has determined to be false.

The file Lieu referenced claimed that a limousine driver who had driven Trump in 1995 allegedly overheard him on the phone talking about “abusing some girl.” The driver then claimed to have driven an unnamed woman who told him that Trump and Epstein raped her between 1995-2000. The driver claimed that the woman turned up dead after telling the police.  

The DOJ addressed this, and many other claims, in December when they released 30,000 new pages of the Epstein files from Data Set 8. 

“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,” read an X post from the DOJ.  

“Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims,” the statement added.
