Florida: Islamic leaders fight attorney general’s claim taxpayer vouchers pose national security threat

Islamic supremacists pushing Sharia law have infiltrated America at every level of society. The latest involves Islamic schools in South Florida which have been using taxpayer funds. “School vouchers row: Islamic leaders hit back at ‘Sharia law’ claim,” by Natalie La Roche Pietri, WLRN, November 5, 2025:

Islamic leaders in South Florida have pushed back against Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s claims that tax-payer funded vouchers for private Islamic schools violate Florida law and pose a national security threat.

Writing on social media recently, Uthmeier said, “Sharia law seeks to destroy and supplant the pillars of our republican form of government and is incompatible with the Western tradition.”

Others in the all-Republican Florida cabinet, including Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, joined Uthmeier in questioning the legality of public dollars going to Islamic private schools.

The criticism came after it emerged a couple of Tampa-area Muslim schools accept voucher money.

Hifz Academy and Bayaan Academy have brought in $15,700,000 and $2,668,000, respectively, in voucher funds over the past decade, according to reporting by the Florida Phoenix.

Neither of the schools name Sharia law on their websites. WLRN has reached out for comment.

Sharia law is Islam’s moral code as outlined in the Quran. It guides worship practices, personal behavior and family principle, as well as some legal code integrated in Muslim-majority countries.

Azhar Subedar, the development director of the South Florida Muslim Federation, told WLRN the political focus on Sharia law is often misguided and misunderstood. It’s not an extremist system, he said, it’s to “teach us to be the best versions of humans that we can be for ourselves, thereby being better citizens.”…

There is only one way to verify Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s claim: surveillance. Islamic schools, as well as mosques, operating on American soil should be monitored for the teaching of any doctrine that is a threat to America’s constitution. Sharia law is considered to be divine law in Islam, and it is incompatible with American law; in fact, it is incompatible with the laws of all Western free societies. So the question of what is being taught in Islamic schools in South Florida that have been taxpayer funded via vouchers should be investigated.

Only an investigation can uncover truths. But Islamic supremacists are infamous for silencing critics and resisting investigations. They do it by screaming “Islamophobia” — a routine stratagem.

Note the deceptive Azhar Subedar, the development director of the South Florida Muslim Federation. He lies by omission, leaving out all mention of the violent tenets of Islam, and those verses of the Qur’an which are damaging to women and anti-Jewish. A broad investigation would turn up a great deal.

Two words that the worst Islamic deceivers often employ are “misunderstanding” and “misinterpretation,” when texts are in plain black and white.

Merely a few examples from the Quran and Hadith:

“The Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death).” (Al-Bukhari 5134)

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only what is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack desire, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And do not let them stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn to Allah together, O believers, so that you may succeed. (Quran 24:31)

If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:

“O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.” (Quran 33:59)

“Let those who sell the life of this world for the next fight in the way of Allah. Whoever fights in the way of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, on him we will bestow a great reward.” (Quran 4:74)

“When your Lord inspired the angels, I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike the necks and strike their fingertips.” (Quran 8:12)

A man asks Muhammad “which of men is the best?” Muhammad replies that it is the man who is always ready for battle and flies into it “seeking death at places where it can be expected.” (Sahih Muslim 20:4655)

In the words of Muhammad: “I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2797)

“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Quran 9:111)

Do these verses make Muslims “best versions of humans” and “better citizens” (of America), as Azhar Subedar claims? or is he talking strictly in terms of Sharia law?

Investigations are warranted.
