OPINION — On Oct. 20, the Fountain Hills Town Council considered Councilmember Allen Skillicorn’s request that town staff draft an ordinance targeting Sharia law.
Fountain Hills responded.
More than 100 letters opposing the proposal were submitted (an extraordinary response for any issue in our community). Council chambers were filled with Muslim neighbors and their allies from Fountain Hills and Scottsdale. Muslim and Christian speakers alike stood before the council to say, in their own ways: This is not who we want to be.
