No-Nonsense Texas Mayor BANNED ‘Sharia Court’ – Here’s Her Response to Outraged Muslims

Directly after her statement, Van Duyne saw a dramatic increase in press interest in her. When reports surfaced about an Islamic tribunal in Irving establishing its own “Sharia court,” Van Duyne penned a Facebook post informingresidents that the so-called Sharia court was not going to happen in the city of Irving.

“As Mayor of the City of Irving, I took an oath to uphold the laws of the State of Texas and the Constitution of the United States. I respect the freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment and believe that protecting fundamental constitutional rights and ensuring that individual rights are not violated or denied is essential,”

And of course Van Duyne was accused of stirring up “Islamophobia” in the community. She even met with members of the Irving Islamic Center to discuss the issue. She was continually accused of “stirring up all kinds of Islamophobia” and an apology or retraction was demanded. They wanted her to publish a “full explanation” on what the Islamic tribunal actually is — she did not.
