The United States was founded on principles enshrined in the
Constitution. One of the foremost of these principles is religious
freedom. Unfortunately, this freedom has not been shared by all
equally. The place of Islam in the United States has always been
controversial. This controversy expanded following the attacks on
9/11 and the rise of nationalist movements that aimed to narrowly
define American identity. The hatred of Islam, otherwise known as
Islamophobia, has risen to new heights fueled by recurring events
and various anti-Muslim hate groups. This has manifested in
anti-mosque protests, hate crimes and prejudicial legislation. This
book is focused on one form of this legislation, the anti-Sharia
laws, otherwise known as the foreign law bans. Sharia is also known
as Islamic law and as the physical manifestation of Islam in
practice. Several states have passed these laws with many other
states introducing them several times with the intention of banning
the use of Sharia in civil courts. This book is a study of the
factors most closely associated with whether a state has this law
and how many times this bill has been introduced in the
legislature. These include political, demographic, religious and
ideological factors.
