Isn’t all of this what republicans want, just swap fake Christianity in for the only religion, and allow pet dogs (but also the state can kill them randomly with no consequences)?

If you just change "GIRL genital mutilation" to "BOY genital mutilation", that list is all things America is famous for.
We're allowed to own dogs. Until a cop comes within shooting distance, at least.
Excuse me but Republicans have been in control of Texas for like 30 years straight. So does that mean that they the Republicans are trying to install Sharia law in order to prevent it?
Very specifically, this is in response to EPIC City, a master-planned community north of Dallas that's being bankrolled by a group of Muslim real estate developers. But you can see it echoing the disgust conservatives have for Minneapolis and Dearborn, Michigan, with their own large Muslim populations.
Yo is there any way to weaponize this into banning all binding arbitration because that would be based.
Obviously no. Prior efforts at invoking this kind of legislation in Oklahoma failed and the federal court struck it down fairly quickly.
Texas actually already has House Bill 4211, the "Sharia Compound Ban", which states
The purchase agreement and any other agreement or rules governing the residential arrangement or the ownership interest in the entity may not require that a dispute concerning the arrangement or interest be brought before a tribunal other than a court established under the laws of this state or the United States.
This was intended to prevent the completion of EPIC City, a master-planned Islamic community-centered residential development project just north of Dallas. Although this mostly seems to be focused on investment and ownership stake in residential and commercial properties by a large pool of wealthy Muslim investors.
If there's any effort to invoke this law at a functional level, it will likely be targeted at the minority Muslim Texas residents, with the intent of depriving them of their property and possessions.
So basically they're fine with a HOA making all sorts of overreaching rules about keeping dogs as long as they don't have any basis in a brown people religion?
Yup.
Is the Sharia Law in the state with you right now?
Funny that no dogs made the list, as the anchor no less. Like that was the one that would clinch the point for MAGATS (you know, cuz they are into the child marriage and hatred of women thing themselves)
Filthy heathens! OUR faith allows pet dogs!
Show up to a rally with a Bible and start reciting verses - the kind they get pissed off about when you bring them up. Like the women brutalizing, child murder, no religious freedom, and slavery. Don't forget the ones against mixed fabrics, tattoos, and shellfish!
Who but the Republicans in charge would be the ones who could put the Sharia in Texas law?
It's right up their alley. "Ban THEIR sharia law! Vote for OUR sharia law!"
And yet the GOP is trying to implement sharia law every day.
The sky cakes are having a fight with the sky cookies on who gets to do all those things again.
I live in Texas and so I occasionally see ads from our current Senator John Cornyn saying that the reason we need to vote for him is that he'll save us from sharia law. So he thinks this complete non-issue is so important that it needs to be central to his campaign. For my money, that alone should disqualify him from being Senator.
If he's going to waste money during his campaign on a non-issue, there's no way that he can be trusted to sign laws as a Senator.
Yeah the far-right "Christian" that are anti-semitic and Islam phobic classic
Doesn't that list just describe america?
Yes even the dog thing, plenty of people with shitty landlords
It's a matter of semantics. Yeah, you could stretch it, but everyone is going to look at you weird if you try to put America in the same bucket as some of the countries that are really known for this stuff.
"you had me at no pet dogs"
How does this even make sense mechanically? What would it mean when one system of law bans another system of law?
State law bans local laws
