You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. America today. This from Irving, Texas. Oh, my gosh. That's where I'm broadcasting from. I mean, it's Los Kalinas, which is inside of Irving, Texas. Huh. Huh.

Which is Dallas County. Sharia law. It's how Muslims settled disputes in many countries in the Middle East. Now, North Texas, believed to be home to the first official Islamic tribunal. In their mind, the misconception about what they see through the media is that Sharia means cut the head, chop the heads, cut the hands. And we're not doing that, said Imam Mohjahid Bakh, one of the tribunal judges. No, we're not doing that. Yet.

We have no authority to force anybody. or to make it binding up if they don't like it or don't accept it, we have new authority. We can't do anything. We can't do anything. It's just here to help people guided by the Muslim religious moral code known as Sharia. The judges are offering up their services to handle cases involving divorce, business problems, and other disputes among the community. There are no disputes at all because we deal, we just fix, deal with the religious part. We can't deal with anything else, even in the civil law.

We don't handle criminal accusations, child support, custody battles, or any transfer of assets. We can't do that. We're just here to guide to help. People are concerned that there are conflicts between Sharia law and state law or whatever else. So it's important area we need to watch, you think. He sees parallels. There's out-of-court mediation, says a lawyer who, practices, business mediation, and arbitrator.

Uh-huh, yeah, there's a parallel there. Except, you know, you're not Sharia law. We're not here to invade the White House or invade Austin. We're humble and want to settle a problem between Muslims, said the I'm up. Yes, we know. We know. It's not here to take care of any of them, does anything. They have no authority to force anybody.

We don't have any authority to force anybody to do anything. We're here to help. We heard that from a number of different other organizations. I don't know. The mob. Oh, that's right. They don't exist. Then posted on Glenn Beck's Facebook page a letter from the mayor of Irving,

Mayor Beth Van Dyne. Sharia law court was not. approved or enacted by the city of Irving. Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that the city of Irving has somehow condoned, approved, or enacted the implementation of a Sharia law court in our city. Let me be clear. Neither the City of Irving, our elected officials or city staff have anything to do with the decision of the mosque that has been identified as starting a Sharia court.

As mayor of the City of Irving, I took an oath to uphold the laws of the state of Texas and the Constitution of the United States. I respect the freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment and believe that protecting fundamental constitutional rights and ensuring that individual rights are not violated or denied is essential. Currently, Texas Supreme Court President does not allow the application of foreign law that violates public policy, statutory or federal laws. However, now that this issue has emerged in our community, I am working with our state representatives on legislation to clarify and strengthen existing prohibitions on the application of foreign law in violation of constitutional statutory rights.

But you can write as many laws as you want because they don't have any authority. They know they don't have any authority. They said that. We have no authority to force anybody to make it binding. If they don't like it, then don't accept it. They're here to help. You can make all the laws you want. American citizens need to remember that their – back to the mayor.

American citizens need to remember that their rights are guaranteed by the Constitution, and I believe no one should subjugate themselves to – anything less. While I am working to better understand how this court will function and whom will be subject to his decisions, I'm pretty sure it's the Muslims in the neighborhood that go to the court ask, I'm sorry, the tribunal. I will not stand idle. Back to the mayor.

I will not stand idle and will fight with every fiber of my being against this action if it's determined that there are violations of basic rights, One nation cannot be so overly sensitive in defending other cultures that we stop protecting our own. I like that. Our nation cannot be so overly sensitive in defending other cultures that we stop protecting our own. What? The American Constitution and our guaranteed rights reigns supreme in our nation and that may never. Wow.

I love these last two cents. Our nation cannot be so overly sensitive in defending other. cultures that we stop protecting our own, the American Constitution, and our guaranteed rights reigns supreme in our nation, and may that ever be the case. Mayor Beth Van Dyne. Mayor. Easy. Now, we know it exists.

You know they're there to help. It's been going on for years. There are all other kinds of places. Every area has their little place that takes care of business. Don't they? I think we all know that. That's why it was so absurd that they went after our boy for the no-go-zones. I just don't get it.

Steve, he said there are no-go-zones. And now there's no such thing as no-go-zones. Yeah, okay. You don't call them no-go-zones. I got it. I got it. And technically, there's no place that the police officers can't go. There's no place that our laws don't.

Don't count. I got it. But don't we all know, can we all not agree that there are places around the world in every country where whatever laws are to be enforced, don't get enforced in certain areas because those areas take care of themselves, and they don't want your help. Can we agree on that?

Please. Thank you. Although Mayor Beth Van Dyne, our nation cannot be so overly sensitive in defending other cultures that we stop protecting our own. The American Constitution and our guaranteed rights reigns supreme in our nation. And may that ever be the case. Amen.
