Civil-rights group the Council on American-Islamic Relations has labelled as “contrary to our nation's values” an Idaho bill banning the implementation of “foreign law” in the State.
The group says the bill, known as HB - 419, fits into a wider pattern of “unconstitutional” bills demonising Muslims by barring Sharia Law as similar legislation is considered in Montano, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
They’re urging Idaho’s Senate to vote down the bill, which they argue contravenes the US Constitution's Establishment Clause, which requires that government be secular and treat all religions equally.
