Texas voters are being asked a direct question in the Republican primary: Should Texas prohibit Sharia law? That’s Proposition 10.
The issue is whether Islamic legal codes should ever supersede or influence Texas civil law inside our courts.
Sharia law, as practiced in certain parts of the world, has been used to justify:
- Unequal treatment of women in marriage and divorce
- Discriminatory inheritance laws
- Harsh criminal penalties that conflict with constitutional protections
- Limitations on free speech
- Punishment by death for leaving Islam
Those principles directly conflict with both the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution, which guarantee equal protection, due process, and individual liberty.
Texas operates under one legal framework. Contracts, property rights, custody disputes, and civil cases must be governed by the Constitution — not foreign systems that may contradict constitutional protections.
A YES vote on Proposition 10 reinforces a simple but vital principle:
In Texas, the Constitution is the highest legal authority. One law. One standard. Equal justice for all.
For those who believe in preserving constitutional governance, protecting individual rights, and maintaining the integrity of our legal system, Proposition 10 is a necessary safeguard.
