Jewish leaders and Democrats are calling Florida’s proposed Shari’a ban hypocritical and unconstitutional. The bill’s sponsor and sole Democratic co-sponsor are both Jewish and pro-Israel. Critics say the bill, filed on the Oct 7 anniversary, amounts to collective punishment of Florida’s Muslim community.
Across Texas, Florida, and other states, anti-Muslim networks have been monitoring Muslim Student Association social media to track campus events — then showing up uninvited to harass students while they pray, film them without consent, and in one case burn a Quran. United Voices has written to more than 2,000 university leaders demanding immediate action to protect Muslim students.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Florida Republicans are calling for stripping voucher funding from Islamic schools while defending billions in public money for Christian ones. AG Uthmeier calls it a national security threat. There are roughly 24 Islamic schools in a program serving 2,278 campuses.
A new wave of so-called ‘anti-Sharia’ bills introduced in Congress by Senators Tommy Tuberville and lawmakers including Randy Fine and Chip Roy are being exposed as unconstitutional legislation designed not to address any real legal threat, but to stoke fear of American Muslims for political gain.

Hillary Cassel switched from Democrat to Republican over Israel. Within months, she filed Florida’s anti-Shari’a bill on the October 7 anniversary. The sole Democratic co-sponsor is also Jewish and pro-Israel. Critics say the bill amounts to collective punishment of Florida’s Muslim community.
Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urging an investigation of a Muslim civil rights organization based on discredited conspiracy theories.

Rep. Hillary Cassel’s own statement on her anti-Shari’a bill makes the motivation explicit: ‘solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people.’ The party-switching lawmaker filed the bill on October 7. The sole Democratic co-sponsor is also Jewish and pro-Israel.
