Texas governor announces ban on Sharia law, urges reporting of compliance attempts

Business To Business, New York, 14 September 2025: Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that his state has prohibited the enforcement of Islamic Sharia law and called upon residents to report any endeavors to impose “Sharia compliance” upon businesses or individuals.
 
Abbott’s comments came in response to a widely circulated video from Houston, in which a Muslim cleric employs a loudspeaker to exhort shopkeepers to refrain from selling alcohol, pork, or lottery tickets.
 
The governor characterized the incident as an act of harassment and affirmed that Texas would not tolerate any efforts to impose religious edicts within the public sphere.
