Former United States House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, is
demanding that a test be run on all Muslims to determine if they believe in
Sharia law. He opined that those who believe in the law should be deported. Sharia
is a legal code based on the Quran and other Islamic scriptures.
Gingrich was reacting to Friday’s attack in the French city
of Nice, which has killed at least 84 people. Also his comment was close to the
opinion held by likely Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who has
said Muslims should be stopped from entering the U.S.
He said, “Western civilisation is in a war. We should
frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background and if they
believe in Sharia they should be deported,” the BBC quoted Gingrich as saying
to Fox News’ Sean Hannity. He added, “Sharia is incompatible with western
civilisation. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as
citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door.”
