FYI: When Van Duyne was Mayor of Irving, TX, her public clash with the local Islamic Tribunal gained her fame and admiration for going up against mosque leaders who had created a special court just for Muslims in non-criminal cases. Her stance against the Islamic tribunal made her an internet celebrity with headlines such as “Texas Mayor Shuts Down ‘Sharia Court’ in Heroic Way.”
Dallas News As s mayor of Irving, Van Duyne accused Zia Sheikh, imam at the Islamic Center of Irving and other imams of “bypassing American courts” by offering to mediate disputes among their worshippers according to an Islamic code called Sharia.
At the Islamictribunal.org website, Van Duyne noticed the imams at the website referred to themselves as “attorneys” and “judges” even though none of them were lawyers or practice law in the State of Texas. Setting up a separate court with separate laws where imams are called “judges” cannot be allowed in this country.”
Despite a great deal of pushback and non-stop attacks from Muslims and the leftist media in Texas, Beth Van Duyne, a woman of great courage managed to push the envelope off the table on Sharia’s implementation in Irving, Texas. It led to the introduction of a bill that would forbid judges from using foreign law in their rulings.
In response to the bill’s passage, Zia Sheikh said, “We don’t care about the bill. It’s not going to affect us in any way, shape or form. The bottom line is the foundation of this bill is anti-Islamic.”
In March 2015, at the behest of Van Duyne, the Irving City Council voted 5-4 to pass a resolution in support of an anti-Sharia bill then making its way through the Texas Legislature. where a similar law passed in 2017.
Glad u hear SOMEBODY speaking out. The entire Congress should be in an uproar. TX seems to have the best politicians. Even though it’s enduring a major invasion.
Moslems are NOT oppressed. Moslems are not victims. They’re invaders intent on destroying America. Orwellian? Not even close. Islam is far beyond Orwellian.
I simply love Beth Van Duyne. What a gal!
” The elephant in the room is that this is an anti sharia Bill”…..
Ya got that right buddy….However no elephants involved.
At the risk of being labeled a sexist male I must say I have noticed that most of the females of The Right are mostly smart, clear spoken, stylish,and bloody beautiful, while those Of The Left are mostly obese, or just plain fat, blue haired, dressed in rags with their flabby tits and Ass hanging out,nose rings and others in places I dont want to even think about and tattoos on their neck and other parts of their filthy body I dont want to even think about.
Am so glad I grew up in the 1960s when the women had style.
Wasn’t clock boy Around then ??? Clock boy that little bastard . Funny how Cair , Obama, Facebook, democrats , etc , you know the filth of the earth fell for this little terrorist wanna a be. Wasn’t his sister suspended from school for the same thing at some point in time ? Something about a bomb threat ?? The little Muslim moved to the Middle East , good riddance
Beth is a great American! Beautiful on the inside and beautiful on the outside! Beth is caring, courageous, ethical, and patriotic. An outstanding role model of what an American leader should be.
Anyone who attempts to enforce Sharia in America should be immediately deported back to their Muslim home country.
Sharia is barbaric.Sharia is ANTI-GOD.
Sharia hates and dehumanizes non Muslims and annihilates their God-given human rights.
Ragheads hate America so much should go back to the shithole they left problem solved.
Beth Van Duyne is a devout Christian ✝️ woman and therefore Islamocritical.
God bless her and hers!
