Congratulations Florida — DeSantis Banned Sharia Law, Trump Wants It Federal, and Every State Must Follow Now

I. Florida Just Killed Sharia Law in Its Courts — And Governor DeSantis Signed the Death Certificate

Let me tell you what happened on April 6, 2026. Governor Ron DeSantis stood at the University of South Florida and signed Florida House Bill 1471 into law. The bill is officially titled “Systems of Law and Terrorist Organizations.” But let me translate that into English for you: Sharia law is dead in Florida. Finished. Over. Buried. And every single Democrat and every single Islamist apologist in this country is losing their damn mind over it.

Deuteronomy 32:8: “When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.”

God divided the nations. God set the borders. God established that each nation has the right to govern itself under its own laws. And the United States of America was founded on the Constitution — not on the Quran, not on Sharia, not on any foreign religious legal code. Florida just codified that truth into law, and every state in this union must do the same.

The bill passed the Florida House 80-25 and the Senate 25-11. That is not a close vote. That is a mandate. That is the will of the people of Florida declaring that Islamic law has no place in American courts, American arbitration, American contracts, or American life. Period.

Psalm 33:12: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!”

Florida chose God. Florida chose the Constitution. Florida chose America. And now every other state must follow. For the full case on why America is a Christian nation and must remain one, read: America Is a Christian Nation — Return to God or Lose Everything He Gave You.

II. What HB 1471 Actually Does — The Legal Sledgehammer That Destroys Sharia in Florida

Deuteronomy 17:15: “you may indeed set a king over you whom the Lord your God will choose. One from among your brothers you shall set as king over you. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.”

Let me break down exactly what this law does, because the media is lying about it and the Islamists are pretending it does not exist.

First, the bill prohibits any court, administrative law judge, hearing officer, agency, arbitration panel, or any other tribunal in Florida from applying any provision of foreign law or religious law if doing so would violate a person’s constitutional rights. Read that again. If Sharia law conflicts with the U.S. Constitution or the Florida Constitution — which it does in virtually every single case — Sharia law loses. Every time. No exceptions.

Second, the bill prohibits Florida courts from enforcing any foreign judgment or order that results from the application of foreign law or religious law inconsistent with a person’s constitutional rights. That means if someone gets a Sharia divorce in another country, or a Sharia inheritance ruling, or a Sharia custody decision — Florida courts will not enforce it. Not now. Not ever.

Third, the bill prohibits the enforcement of choice-of-law clauses and forum selection clauses in contracts that would result in a violation of constitutional rights. That means no one in Florida can contract around American law by choosing Sharia courts or foreign religious tribunals. The Constitution wins.

Fourth, the bill allows the Florida Department of State to administratively dissolve any corporation designated as a domestic or foreign terrorist organization. Fifth, the bill creates criminal penalties — the same penalties that apply to foreign terrorist organizations — for providing material support to domestic terrorist organizations. Sixth, the Chief of Domestic Security within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement can designate organizations as domestic or foreign terrorist organizations, subject to notice and appeal.

Seventh, no state or local government money in Florida can be used to support a terrorist organization. Eighth, private schools accepting vouchers cannot contract with, be owned by, or accept funds from anyone affiliated with a terrorist organization. Ninth, public schools cannot use state or federal funds to promote terrorist organizations. Tenth, state universities and colleges cannot promote terrorist organizations, and the state can withhold performance-based funding as punishment. Eleventh, colleges must report foreign students promoting terrorism to the Department of Homeland Security. Twelfth, students promoting terrorism must be immediately expelled and lose all financial benefits including in-state tuition, fee waivers, scholarships, and state grants.

Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

DeSantis was not frightened. DeSantis was not dismayed. He signed the law. He stood with God. He stood with the Constitution. He stood with America.

III. Sharia Law Is Incompatible With America — This Is Not Opinion, This Is Fact

2 Corinthians 6:14-17: “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.’ Therefore, ‘Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.’”

Let me tell you exactly why Sharia law cannot coexist with the Constitution. And I am not going to sugarcoat this because sugarcoating is how we got into this mess in the first place.

Sharia law mandates the death penalty for homosexuality. The U.S. Constitution protects the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These two cannot coexist.

Sharia law treats women as legally inferior to men. A woman’s testimony is worth half a man’s. A woman inherits half what a man inherits. A man can divorce his wife by saying “I divorce you” three times. The U.S. Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. These two cannot coexist.

Sharia law permits child marriage. Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine. This is recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari, the most authoritative hadith collection in Sunni Islam. The U.S. Constitution and every state in this union set minimum ages of consent. These two cannot coexist. For a full breakdown of how Islamic doctrine justifies child marriage and how Colombia is fighting back, read: Felicitaciones Colombia — Welcome to the A3C. Now Mexico Must Be Next.

Sharia law mandates the subjugation of non-Muslims under the jizya tax. Non-Muslims must pay a special tax for the privilege of living under Islamic rule. The U.S. Constitution prohibits religious taxation and guarantees freedom of religion. These two cannot coexist.

Sharia law denies freedom of speech. Blasphemy against Islam is punishable by death in every Sharia-governed country on earth. The U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment protects free speech, including the right to criticize any religion, any prophet, any holy book. These two cannot coexist.

Sharia law denies freedom of religion. In Sharia-governed countries, leaving Islam — apostasy — is punishable by death. The U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to practice any religion or no religion at all. These two cannot coexist.

Galatians 5:1: “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

America was built on freedom. Sharia is built on submission. These are not compatible. They have never been compatible. They will never be compatible. And Florida just proved that you can codify that truth into law.

IV. Trump Wants It Federal — And He Is Right

Proverbs 29:2: “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.”

President Donald Trump saw what DeSantis did and amplified it. He posted about it. He called for federal legislation. He wants a national Sharia ban. And he is right.

Because here is the problem: Florida’s law only applies to Florida. It protects Florida courts, Florida arbitration panels, Florida contracts. But what about Texas? What about Tennessee? What about Georgia? What about every state where Islamists are quietly filing Sharia-compliant arbitration agreements, where judges are unknowingly enforcing foreign religious judgments, where contracts contain choice-of-law clauses that route disputes to Islamic tribunals?

The infiltration is real. It is happening right now in states across this country. And without federal legislation, Florida will be an island of sanity in an ocean of legal chaos.

Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.”

Trump knows this. Trump understands that the weapon of Sharia must be forged against — and shattered. Every tongue that accuses America of “Islamophobia” for banning foreign religious law must be refuted. This is not Islamophobia. This is American sovereignty. This is constitutional fidelity. This is common sense.

Congress must pass the federal version of HB 1471. Every Republican must co-sponsor it. Every Democrat must be forced to vote on it. And if they refuse, the American people will remember.

V. All 50 States Must Pass This Law — No Exceptions, No Delays

Nehemiah 4:14: “And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and the officials and the rest of the people, ‘Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and fearsome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.’”

Fight for your families. Fight for your homes. Fight for your state. Every state legislature in America must pass a version of Florida’s HB 1471 immediately. Not next year. Not after the next election. Now.

Here is the reality that nobody in Washington wants to say out loud: Sharia arbitration is already operating in the United States. Islamic tribunals in Texas, Michigan, California, Illinois, and New York are already resolving disputes between Muslims using Sharia law. These tribunals operate in a legal grey area — technically voluntary, practically coercive. Women who refuse to submit to Sharia arbitration are shunned, isolated, and cut off from their communities. Men who refuse are threatened. Children are caught in the middle.

And American courts have been enforcing these decisions. Not because they are required to. But because judges are ignorant of what Sharia actually demands, because lawyers are afraid of being called bigands, and because the left has spent two decades training everyone to believe that criticizing Islam is worse than allowing Islamic law to destroy American citizens.

Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

This is not just a political battle. This is a spiritual battle. The forces behind Sharia — the forces that demand submission to a legal system that denies Christ, denies freedom, denies equality — must be confronted. Not with violence. Not with hatred. With law. With the Constitution. With the same courage that DeSantis showed when he signed that bill. For the complete framework on deporting Islamists and defending Christian America, read: Deport Every Islamist — America Is a Christian Nation.

Every state governor must demand this legislation. Every state legislator must introduce it. Every citizen must call their representatives and demand it. Today.

VI. The Democrats Will Fight This — And That Tells You Everything You Need to Know

Matthew 12:30: “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

Watch what happens next. Watch every Democrat in Congress oppose the federal Sharia ban. Watch every progressive organization file lawsuits. Watch every media outlet call it “Islamophobic.” Watch every professor write op-eds about “religious freedom” — the same religious freedom they deny to Christian bakers, Christian florists, Christian nurses, and Christian schools.

The hypocrisy is staggering. The left will fight to the death for Sharia law — a legal system that kills homosexuals, subjugates women, denies free speech, and executes apostates — while simultaneously attacking Christian businesses for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. They will defend a religion that stones women for showing their hair while claiming to be champions of women’s rights. They will protect a legal system that requires the death of apostates while claiming to support religious freedom. Just look at what they tried in Massachusetts — 17 Democrats filed a bill to create a permanent, taxpayer-funded Muslim commission while Christian families face persecution. Read the full exposé: Massachusetts Wants to Tax You to Fund a Muslim Civil Rights Commission.

Romans 1:22-23: “Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.”

They became fools. They exchanged the glory of God for the worship of a false religion. They exchanged the Constitution for the Quran. They exchanged freedom for submission. And they expect you to thank them for it.

Do not thank them. Do not tolerate them. Do not compromise with them. Vote them out. Primary them. Replace them. And pass the Sharia ban in every state while they are screaming about it on Twitter.

VII. The Biblical Case for Banning Sharia — God Commands It

Deuteronomy 12:30-32: “take care that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?—that I also may do the same.’ You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods. For they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods. Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. You shall not add to it or take from it.”

God commands His people not to adopt the practices of foreign gods. Sharia is the legal expression of a foreign god — a god that is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Sharia is the mechanism through which Islam enforces its will on the world. And God says: do not follow them. Do not serve their gods. Do not adopt their ways.

Deuteronomy 28:1: “And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.”

America was set high above all the nations of the earth. Not because of Sharia. Not because of Islam. Because of God. Because of the Constitution. Because of the Christian values that built this nation. Sharia law drags nations into the mud — look at Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia. Every country governed by Sharia is a basket case of oppression, poverty, and violence.

Psalm 94:16: “Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?”

DeSantis rose up. Trump is rising up. The Florida Legislature stood up. And now it is time for every American to stand up and demand the same protection in their own state.

VIII. This Is Just the Beginning — The War for America’s Soul Is Not Over

Ephesians 6:13: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”

Florida’s HB 1471 is a victory. A real, tangible, signed-into-law victory. But it is not the end. It is the beginning.

The Islamists will not stop. They will challenge this law in court. They will file lawsuits claiming religious discrimination. They will argue that banning Sharia violates the First Amendment. They will find sympathetic judges. They will pressure spineless politicians. They will do everything in their power to keep their legal foothold in America.

And the left will help them. The ACLU will file briefs. The Southern Poverty Law Center will write reports. The mainstream media will run sympathetic profiles of “moderate” Muslims who just want to use Sharia for “voluntary” family disputes — ignoring the fact that nothing in Sharia is truly voluntary when excommunication and community shunning are the consequences of refusal.

1 Peter 5:8: “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”

Be watchful. Be sober-minded. The devil is prowling. And his legal system is called Sharia. Do not let your guard down. Do not celebrate prematurely. This law must be defended. The federal version must be passed. And every state must follow Florida’s lead.

The war for America’s soul is not over. It has just begun. But for the first time in a long time, we are winning. If you are ready to fight back with everything you have — politically, culturally, spiritually — read the complete battle plan: The Christian Action Plan — It’s Time to Use Their Tactics for God.

IX. Call to Action — Your State Needs You Right Now

Proverbs 31:8-9: “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

Here is what you must do. Right now. Today.

Call your state legislators. Call your governor’s office. Demand that your state pass a version of Florida’s HB 1471. Tell them Sharia law is incompatible with the Constitution and must be banned in your state’s courts, arbitration panels, and contracts.

Call your U.S. Senators. Call your U.S. Representative. Demand federal legislation. The phone number for the Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121. Call it. Tell them to introduce the federal Sharia ban. Tell them Florida did it. Tell them Trump wants it. Tell them you demand it.

Write to your local newspaper. Post on social media. Talk to your neighbors. Educate your community. Sharia law is not a joke. It is not a fringe issue. It is a direct threat to every constitutional right you hold dear.

Joshua 24:15: “And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Choose this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord — and we will fight for the Constitution that protects our freedom to do so.

X. The Bottom Line — Sharia Is Dead in Florida, and America Must Kill It Everywhere

Romans 8:31: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

Florida just banned Sharia law. Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 1471 on April 6, 2026. It is now law. Sharia is dead in Florida courts, Florida arbitration, Florida contracts, and Florida public institutions. President Trump wants it federal. Every state must follow. All 50 states must pass this law. Congress must pass the federal version. The American people demand it.

Sharia law is incompatible with the Constitution. It is incompatible with freedom. It is incompatible with equality. It is incompatible with Christianity. It is incompatible with America. And it must be destroyed — legally, completely, and permanently — in every courtroom, in every state, in this nation.

DeSantis did it. Trump wants it. Now it is your turn.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the courage of Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature. We thank you for President Trump’s leadership and his call for federal legislation. We thank you for Florida House Bill 1471, a shield against the encroachment of foreign religious law on American soil. We pray for every state legislature in this nation — give them courage, give them wisdom, give them the spine to pass this law. We pray for Congress — that they would introduce and pass the federal Sharia ban without delay. We pray for the American people — that they would rise up, call their representatives, and demand protection for their constitutional rights. We pray against the forces of darkness that seek to impose Sharia on this Christian nation. We bind every plan of the enemy. We declare that America belongs to Jesus Christ. We declare that the Constitution is the supreme law of this land. We declare that Sharia law will never triumph in America. Stand firm, Lord. Defend your people. Defend your nation. Defend your name. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
