Ban on Muslim law proposed in Tennessee

AllahSome Tennessee legislators want to make it a felony, punishable by 15 years in prison, to follow Muslim religious law.

Republicans in both chambers introduced a bill last week that declares Shariah law a threat to the nation and authorizes the state attorney general to investigate complaints of people practicing it, The (Nashville) Tennessean reported.

The bill allows peaceful practice of Islam but brands any adherence to Shariah -- which includes religious practices like washing feet before prayers -- as treason. It asserts Muslims want to replace the Constitution with their religious law. A dozen other states are considering similar bills.

Imam Mohamed Ahmed of the Islamic Center of Nashville said Islam requires obeying the law of the land and Shariah promotes moral values.
