Amanda Tyler appeared as an expert before the House
Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government
Hearing: “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law are
Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution: Part II”” May 13, 2026. Her written
testimony mentions shariah 11 times on four pages with no demonstrable
knowledge displayed on what shariah is. At no time does Amanda Tyler address
what is in shariah. So we have to ask what is her expertise?
She serves as the Executive Director of the Baptist Joint
Committee for Religious Liberty (BJC). She states, she is honored “to give
testimony about how targeting individuals and groups based on religion violates
our countries constitutional commitment to religious freedom for all.” This
claimed expertise has nothing to do with the topic. Shariah is Islamic law.
Which she revealed repeatedly, by stating in the hearing “Shariah law.” She was
actually telling every Muslim listening, that she knows ZERO about Islamic law,
because she was saying, “law law.” Usama
Dakdok whose native tongue is Arabic, puts it plainly, “people who say Shariah
law, live in Lah-Lah Land.”
Her claimed knowledge that standing against shariah is
standing against a religion is another demonstration of her ignorance of
Shariah. Muslims believe shariah is to be followed by the entire world. This
includes all non-Muslims. Until the entire world is following shariah, jihad
must be waged. This is reinforced by o9.0 Jihad.
Amanda Tyler also demonstrates she is unaware of what
shariah considers permissible. Amongst the things that are permissible, that
Amanda Taylor, expert at stating no one should say no to Shariah must agree
with are,
- · Shariah may not be questioned (b6.1)
o
(Salih Mu'adhdhin:) Muslims of the Sunna and
Community are in agreement that we have arrived at all the rulings of Sacred
Law through evidence that iscitherof unquestionably established transmission
(qal'i al-wurud) or probabilistically established transmission (zanni
al-wurud).
- · Forbidden Knowledge includes natural sciences, anything that sows doubts in Islam, philosophy (a7.2)
Unlawful knowledge includes:
(1) learning soreery (dis: p3), since according to the most reliable
position, it is unlaw ful, as the vast majority of scholars have decisively
stated;
(2) philosophy (dis: wlO);
(3) magic (sha'badha, meaning sleight of hand, etc,);
(4) astrology (dis: p41);
(5) the sciences of the materialists (dis: wII);
(6) and anything that is a means to create doubts (n: in eternal truths).
Such things vary in their degree of unlawfulness.
- · Almost all books would be banned (a7.3-4)
Offensive knowledge includes such thing;, as post-classical poetry which
contains romance and uselessness.
Circumcision is obligatory (0: for both men and women. For men it
consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the
prepuce (Ar. bazr) of the clitoris (n: not the clitoris itself, as some
mistakenly assert). (A: Hanbalis hold that circumcision of women is not
obligatory but sunna, while Hanafis consider it a mere courtesy to the
husband.)
If sperm or man-ay or if fluid seen, man or women was seen in clothes or
bed coverings, if someone is sleeping in the bed, if it was from them they must
wash. If each one of them thought the fluid come from the other person since
they do not know where it is from then they do not have to wash. And no one of them will be guided by the
other because they thought the fluid belonged to the other but if no one else
slept in the bed he must wash and he must repeat all the prayers.
When a woman who has been made love to performs the purificatory bath,
and the male's sperm afterwards leaves her vagina, then she must repeat the
ghusl if two conditions exist:
It is obligatory to distribute one's zakat among eight categories of
recipients (0: meaning that zakat goes to none besides them), one"eighth
of the zakat to each category.
o
The poor (h8.8)
o
People short of money (h8.11)
o
Zakat workers (h8.13)
o
Bribing people to become Muslim (h8.14)
o
Buying a Slave’s freedom (h8.15)
o
Those in debt (h8.16)
o Those
waging war for Allah (h8.17)
o
Travelers in need of money (h8.18)
- · First cousin marriage is accepted in Islam. (m6.0-2)
o
What you can not marry
o
(H: It is forbidden for a man to marry his
roots, descendants, the descendants of his parents, and the first generation of
descendants of his grandfathers and grandmothers (his aunts and maternal
aunts). A mahram is one whom it is forbidden to marry with certainty.)
It is forbidden by the meaning of
committing sin, marriage to one’s mother, maternal grandmothers or
paternal grandmothers, no matter how high they are, daughters, daughters of
sons, no matter how low they are, sisters, daughters of brothers and sisters,
no matter how low they are, paternal aunts, no matter how high they are, the
wife’s mother and grandmother, the wives of his fathers and his sons: all of
these are forbidden by virtue of the contract. And the mother of his wife’s
daughter is not forbidden except by consummation with the mother.
Do Baptists across America believe that accepting these laws
into America is appositive move? After all, she represents their beliefs. Sadly,
Amanda Tyler went to display her expertise on “separation of church and state”
something that exists in the Communist manifesto and not in the US Constitution.
Her expert witness testimony in print is below.
I challenge Ms. Amanda Tyler, to debate her own claims of
knowledge and expertise on shariah.
