Texas Governor Greg Abbott has drawn a hard line in defense of American law and culture, announcing a ban on Sharia Law in the Lone Star State after a viral video showed an imam confronting Muslim-owned stores and demanding they stop selling pork, alcohol, and lottery tickets. Abbott declared that “Sharia compliance” has no place in Texas, vowing to protect citizens from what he called “fools” attempting to impose foreign religious law on American soil.

The Viral Video That Sparked Outrage
The firestorm began when Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid, a mosque affiliated with the controversial Nation of Islam, was caught on video berating a Muslim-owned store for selling what he called “haram” products. Pork, alcohol, and gambling paraphernalia, he said, were a betrayal of Islamic law and would not be tolerated. Khan declared the launch of a “nationwide protest and demonstration campaign” to pressure Muslim business owners into compliance. “They have until the end of the month,” he warned, threatening boycotts and public shaming campaigns.

Abbott’s Swift Response
Governor Abbott wasted no time in addressing the threat. “I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas,” he announced. “No business and no individual should fear fools like this. If this person, or ANYONE, attempts to impose Sharia compliance, report it to law enforcement.” His office reinforced the stance in a statement: “In Texas, we believe in equal rights under the law for all men, women, & children. Any legal system that flouts human rights is BANNED in the state of Texas.” Abbott was referencing the 2017 legislation that prohibited judges from applying foreign law—including Sharia—in Texas courts.

CAIR Pushes Back
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) immediately blasted Abbott’s move, calling it “fearmongering.” They argued that Sharia simply means “the way” of Islamic life—comparing it to Jewish Halacha or Catholic Canon law. “When Texas Muslims pray, donate to charity, or fast during Ramadan, they are observing Sharia,” the group claimed. But Abbott’s critics avoided the real issue: not personal religious practice, but the attempted imposition of Islamic restrictions on businesses and communities in America.

The Radical Agenda Behind the ‘Sharia Patrols’
While Imam Khan insists his campaign is a form of “religious outreach” or da’wah, his message carries the hallmarks of creeping Islamism—testing the boundaries of free speech and the law while normalizing the enforcement of Islamic codes in public spaces. His mosque’s ties to the Nation of Islam only raise further red flags, given the group’s extremist and separatist ideology. Peaceful protest may be constitutionally protected, but the coordinated effort to impose Sharia-inspired boycotts raises questions about parallel societies operating under foreign influence inside U.S. borders.

The Globalist Tie-In: Parallel Legal Systems and Weakening Sovereignty
What many Americans miss is that this is not just about pork or alcohol. It is about sovereignty. Globalists thrive on fragmentation—splintering nations into ethnic, religious, and ideological enclaves. From Sharia enclaves in Europe to “no-go zones” in Sweden and France, the playbook is the same: undermine national law by tolerating alternative legal systems. In America, Texas is now ground zero for drawing a red line. Abbott’s stance is a direct challenge not just to Islamist radicalism, but to the globalist agenda of eroding borders, cultures, and constitutions.

Prophetic Implications: A Clash of Laws Foretold
Bible prophecy warns of a coming world system where every culture, nation, and faith is forced to bow under a single global power (Revelation 13). The rise of Sharia patrols in Texas may look like a local skirmish, but it foreshadows a broader movement where competing systems of law—Sharia, secular globalism, technocratic control—are being used to prepare mankind for the reign of the Antichrist. The prophet Daniel spoke of a coming kingdom that would “devour the whole earth” (Daniel 7:23), and Revelation makes clear this one-world system will merge political power with religious control.

Sharia enforcement, Marxist lawlessness, and WEF-style technocracy are not separate threats—they are different arms of the same beast. The push for parallel legal systems is part of Satan’s strategy to divide and destabilize nations until they willingly surrender sovereignty to a global ruler. The enforcement of religious law, whether Islamic or otherwise, serves as a counterfeit to the true justice of God’s Word. Ultimately, this is about conditioning the world to accept a false savior, the Antichrist, who will demand total allegiance.

Conclusion
Governor Abbott’s decision may be controversial in politically correct circles, but it resonates deeply with Texans who cherish liberty. Sharia has no place in the American system of justice, and attempts to impose it—even within small enclaves—must be confronted. The globalists and their radical allies want to weaken America from within, but states like Texas are showing the way forward: defend your laws, defend your culture, and never bow to imported systems of control. Prophecy assures us these battles will escalate, but it also promises that the true King will return and crush every false kingdom under His feet.
