"Florida will never submit to foreign law, including sharia law, in any form, at any time, under any circumstance."
"rooted in lies, fearmongering and political distraction."
Florida Rep. Hillary Cassel introduced House Bill 119, dubbed the "No Sharia Act," to prevent enforcement of foreign law, including sharia, in Florida. Cassel said the bill aims to ensure the United States and Florida Constitutions always reign supreme. She stated that legal migration is welcome but emphasized expectation of assimilation and suggested immigrants unwilling to assimilate should consider other countries. Cassel expressed anticipation for legislative hearings on the proposal.
