Florida lawmaker claims taxpayer cash is going to help fund Islamic Sharia schools
By BRITTANY CHAIN, US SENIOR REPORTER

Florida's Attorney General has slammed a policy which allows cash vouchers to be handed over to Islamic schools which 'promote sharia law.'

Attorney General James Uthmeier decried the use of taxpayer-funded vouchers at Islamic-only schools across the state.

'Sharia law seeks to destroy and supplant the pillars of our republican form of government and is incompatible with the Western tradition,' he wrote on X.

'The use of taxpayer-funded school vouchers to promote sharia law likely contravenes Florida law and undermines our national security.'
 
The policy was expanded in 2023 and has been largely defended by Republicans, who have supported the cash flowing to primarily private, Christian campuses.

OK folks, a question...
Should all religions be treated equally in the eyes of the law?

(I made my own decision about such things quite some time ago)

I'm sure we will disagree....but yes they should .There are many religions that are  freaky. Face it...we tolerate devil worship in a Christian country.


There are many countries that will not allow Christanity and I don't think we should be one of those countries that disallows other religions.. It, ultimately, will be up to the invidual.
