“Is sharia law practiced anywhere in the USA”
Summary
Sharia law is not enforced as a legal system in any U.S. state or locality; proposals to adopt or ban it have been introduced, but none have been implemented. While U.S. courts may recognize certain religious principles in private arbitration, no government authority applies Sharia criminal or civil statutes over American law.
