YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"As the protests in Michigan continue over the new right-to-work law, the state Legislature is now considering passing a ban on Shariah law.

The bill, sponsored by Republican state Rep. Dave Agema, would block "foreign laws that would impair constitutional rights" in the state. The Associated Press reports that though the bill "doesn't specifically mention the Islamic legal code called sharia," its "supporters have said they are concerned about the use of sharia spreading."*

Republican state Rep. Dave Agema is trying to block "foreign" laws that would impair constitutional rights. Closer inspection reveals this is a preemptive strike against Muslims and they mean "Sharia Law." Cenk Uygur breaks down the ridiculous lengths taken to sell this law in Michigan.
