Ola Hawatmeh (R), one of several Republican hopefuls looking to replace Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) in Florida's 19th Congressional District, held nothing back in condemning the traditional Islamic legal theory of Sharia law, saying it is "savage and inhumane" while vowing to join the Sharia-Free America Caucus if she gets sent to Washington in November.
Not only that, but Hawatmeh is vowing to have Representatives Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) censured and expelled from Congress for their "anti-American and anti-Israel views."
"The savage and inhumane practice of Sharia Law has no place in American society, nor do the Islamists that promote and defend it," Hawatmeh declared in a recent statement, adding, "This Holy War between radical Islamists and Judeo-Christians has come to our doorstep."
Hawatmeh lauds Representatives Randy Fine (R-FL), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Mike Haridopolos (R-FL), Cory Mills (R-FL), and Jimmy Patronis (R-FL) as "fellow God-fearing, Judeo-Christian-supporting colleagues" who are also on the Sharia-Free America Caucus, further vowing to "promote more pro-Judeo-Christian legislation."
She specifically mentions the Pausing All Admissions Until Security Ensured (PAUSE) Act and Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act introduced by Representative Chip Roy (R-TX), along with Rep. Fine's No Shari'a Act, which seek to stop the spread of Sharia law through immigration reform and preventing courts from being influenced by it.
"The evils of Islam and its disciples must be stopped in its tracks," Hawatmeh concluded, "Terrorist organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Students Association, and other Muslim Brotherhood groups in America should be investigated for potentially inciting Islamic violence and terror, and promoting anti-American, anti-Israel rhetoric."
Hawatmeh previously proved her conservative and pro-Israel bona fides in February during a fundraiser event in Naples, telling The Floridian that "Funding Israel is defending U.S. national security. Anyone who questions sending military aid to Israel does not understand the climate in the Middle East and is nothing less than misinformed."
Florida's primary election is August 18.
