“Should Every State Ban Sharia?” — What the Five-State Movement Really Did

The bottom line
Tennessee, Alabama, Kansas, Florida, and North Carolina did not ban Islam. They banned judges from using any foreign or religious code to override American rights — with Sharia as the political poster child.

Should every state copy them? Legally, they don’t need to. Constitutionally, they probably couldn’t if they named a single faith. Politically, the question works because it forces you to choose between two fears: fear that religious law will creep into courts, or fear that America will start writing laws against a religion.

The image wants you to see the banner and say yes. The Constitution wants you to remember that America already said no — to any law, foreign or domestic, that violates its own.
