We will not allow Muslim only communities. We're not going to allow no go zones or anything like that. In fact, There was a referendum on the Republican primary ballot about completely banning statewide sharia law. And that's going to pass this next session when we get back into next session this next January. And so we've done more than any state to push back against any attempt to grow Islam or radical Muslim in our state. (04:57–05:04)
