Tennessee's legislature is considering a bill that would make it a felony to practice some forms of Shariah law, "the most severe measure yet put forth by a national movement whose members believe extremist Muslims want Shariah to supersede the Constitution," the AP reports.
"The bill -- drawn up by conservatives with ties to opponents of a planned Islamic center two blocks from New York City's ground zero and efforts to expand a mosque 30 miles southeast of Nashville -- would face steep constitutional hurdles if enacted ... Muslim groups fear the measure would outlaw central tenets of Islam, such as praying five times a day toward Mecca, abstaining from alcohol or fasting for Ramadan."
