The new caucus led by Reps. Keith Self and Chip Roy aims to confront what they call the spread of Sharia in the United States, outline legislative priorities and build a coalition to protect constitutional and Western values, while arguing for stronger screening and legal clarity around foreign influence and extremist networks.
Two Texas Republicans have announced a focused effort inside the House to push back against ideas they believe are incompatible with the Constitution and American traditions. The group is called the Sharia Free America Caucus, and its founders say the goal is to educate the public and create a legislative pathway to address perceived threats. This is being pushed as a culture defense, with a clear emphasis on preserving legal and civic norms.
Self and Roy are blunt about why they see urgency here and why they want a formal caucus to coordinate action. “Anytime you go to a fight, you bring as many friends with you as you can. I’m a military guy,” Self said, “So what we need to do is build this caucus now so that we can start educating the American people to the dangers of Sharia in the United States.” Their tone is unapologetic and aimed at rallying conservatives who worry about gradual erosion of civil institutions.
The caucus leaders emphasize that Sharia, broadly speaking, describes a moral and legal code followed by some Muslims, while Sharia law often refers to penal systems used in non-secular states. They argue that elements of these practices, when tied to political Islam or extremist cells, can conflict with American law. At the same time, they note that U.S. constitutional guarantees of religious freedom prevent any foreign legal code from becoming the law of the land.
