SHARIA FREE AMERICA CAUCUS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 10 (Wednesday, January 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 10 (Wednesday, January 14, 2026)] [House] [Pages H802-H803] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] SHARIA FREE AMERICA CAUCUS (Mr. GILL of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GILL of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Sharia Free America Caucus, which I am proud to have joined. Across the world, ideologically driven Islamic movements have destabilized entire regions; displaced tens of millions of people; and fueled terrorism, repression, and violence. [[Page H803]] Where civil law is subordinated to Islamic authority, freedom, prosperity, and security collapse. Sharia law is not a personal creed. It is a political and legal system and one that rejects equality before the law, suppresses dissent, and fuses radical religious doctrine with state power. History shows that where Sharia gains influence, constitutional government gives way to coercion. In Texas, my constituents are increasingly alarmed by the consequences of mass migration and the importation of ideologies that are fundamentally incompatible with our Western civilization. The purpose of this caucus is clear: to ensure that Sharia never gains a foothold in America--not now, and not ever. ____________________
