Donald Trump says "pockets of it" exist in U.S. regarding Sharia law

In a Thursday interview with Glenn Beck, President Donald Trump entered the Sharia debate, saying he would ban Sharia law and asserting that the United States is not governed by it, while acknowledging that isolated instances occur in the country and must be dealt with. His remarks came after Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed compared Sharia to Catholic canon law on Fox News and argued that no one is trying to impose it on others. The PJ Media report of Trump’s comments frames anti-Sharia concern as defense of a single legal system and cites British Sharia councils to claim the practice can conflict with Western law. Trump said he would stand with Beck on the issue.
