In 2011, Michigan State Rep. David Agema (R) introduced a bill called the anti-foreign law act that was intended to ban the implementation of Sharia law.
In the state of Michigan, the first elected female Muslim representative worked with several organizations to stop the passage of an anti-Sharia bill. She was able to rally support from Jews and Christians who realized that if a law could impede the rights of Muslims, it could also be applied to Catholic canon law or halachah in Judaism.
In the end, the bill died in committee as proponents failed to demonstrate to Republican and Democratic committee leadership how Sharia law was an actual threat to the nation or to the state of Michigan.
