Justine Bateman has once again entered the heated online discussion surrounding Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and claims about Sharia law, offering a clear-eyed defense of core American principles.
She does not mince words.
Not even a little bit.
If they feel Sharia Law is part of their religion, there is separation of church and state here.
— Justine Bateman (@JustineBateman) August 10, 2026
If they mean to inject Sharia Law into the legal structure of the United States of America, we have freedom of religion, not freedom of law.
Take that law somewhere else. We don't… https://t.co/LZX2dSc17D
Post continues:
... allow that here.
Bateman has been on a TEAR this past week, especially after Abdul El-Sayed won in Michigan.
The controversy got even louder after Rep. Nancy Mace shared a video clip of El-Sayed speaking at a 2022 Council on American-Islamic Relations event in Oklahoma about how important it was to introduce Islamic legal codes into the United States.
Bateman’s contribution cut through the noise by drawing a bright line between protected personal faith and the nation’s legal system. She underscored that individuals may practice their religion freely under the First Amendment, but that does not extend to rewriting American statutes or courts according to any religious doctrine foreign to the constitutional order. The United States guarantees freedom of religion, not the freedom to impose alternative legal frameworks that conflict with equal protection, due process, and individual rights.

The only way to stop it is to stop importing those who practice it because they are commanded to implement Sharia law.

It's already happening... Not just in the USA but on a global level.

There is a reason so many of us support withdrawing from the UN.

Agreed. But Islam isn't a religion. It's an ideology, questioning which is cause for death. If you have overies and not testicals, failure to submit to the testical domination is also reason to be maimed or put to death

By rejecting any effort to elevate religious law above the Constitution, Bateman's post reinforces a foundational American consensus: personal belief is inviolable, but the legal structure remains firmly secular and constitutional. Voters in Michigan and beyond will decide in November whether candidates fully share that commitment.
