Contradicts. A 2015 PolitiFact fact-check found Dearborn Muslims may follow Shariah in personal lives and enter contracts bound by its principles, but found no imposition of Shariah law by courts in Dearborn.[1]
Contradicts. The Washington Post analysis found authors of U.S. anti-sharia bills did not point to any incidents of Islamic law being imposed on U.S. civil institutions.[4]
Supports. The Texas Attorney General's April 2026 release says the Islamic Tribunal in Dallas seeks to impose sharia on disputes among Texas Muslims and opened an investigation into it.[2]
Supports. A congressional testimony record describes efforts to impose Sharia in Texas, including the EPIC development near Plano, which the state has stymied, and shadow Islamic courts.[3]
Context. The Michigan references in the sources are mostly political rhetoric about candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and the claims of a sharia push in Michigan are described as lacking credible evidence.[5][6]
