United States119th CongressHCONRES-116House of Representatives
Updated: Sep 3, 2026

Summary

This concurrent resolution officially denounces Sharia law in all its forms and expresses opposition to any implementation of it within the United States. It establishes that the U.S. Constitution and its laws are the supreme law of the land, asserting that any legal or political doctrine placing itself above the Constitution threatens national stability. The resolution posits that Sharia law, despite its religious presentation, operates as a comprehensive political, legal, social, and economic system derived from Islamic texts. The resolution details several incompatibilities between Sharia law and American values, stating that Sharia does not recognize the right to life or liberty, citing threats for apostasy and blasphemy. It further claims that Sharia assigns legal distinctions among individuals, restricts religious freedom and free speech, and lacks respect for gender equality, treating women as subservient. The resolution concludes that Sharia's supremacy claims endanger women, dissidents, and non-Muslims due to its unequal legal standards and community-enforced norms, making it directly conflict with the U.S. Constitution and democratic principles.
