Occurrences
introduced the Defeat Sharia Law in America Act, legislation to clarify that discrimination carried out through the implementation of Sharia Law violates the protections guaranteed under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Evidence
Moore announced he introduced legislation to clarify that discrimination through implementation of Sharia Law violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Key provisions would clarify Section 201(a) public-accommodation coverage and treat such practices as segregation and discrimination under federal civil-rights protections.
The latest-news list in the lookback window shows June 12 and June 3, 2026 releases on other legislation, plus a May 12 Sharia-related immigration bill.
Section 2000a provides equal enjoyment of public accommodations without discrimination on race, color, religion, or national origin grounds.
Assessments
Moore introduced the Defeat Sharia Law in America Act in March 2026, and the proposal directly matched the promise by seeking to clarify Civil Rights Act public-accommodations protections for discrimination carried out through Sharia law. However, the evidence shows only bill introduction and no committee approval, floor passage, enactment, or update to 42 U.S.C. 2000a. Because the promised legal clarification was not delivered, but Moore made a serious legislative attempt, this is a failed promise with effort credit rather than partial or delivered status.
