Screenshot of a false X post from a user with the username “@WallStreetApes” that reads: “American Pastor warns his church of the Islamic Takeover of America after what happened during Midterms He shows his congregation all the Muslims that are now elected and will serve in American government “Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who didn't vote, you voted. 255 Muslims who cannot, cannot swear allegiance to the Constitution. It is forbidden in Islam. They must swear allegiance to Sharia law, which is a completely different government. On Tuesday, the United States of America said no to the republic and yes to the very government and military and religion that hit us on September 11th, 2001. We have surrendered. It's their party now”

Muslims Can Swear Allegiance to the Constitution

Claim

Muslims can not swear allegiance to the Constitution. 

Original Post

Fact

Muslims can swear allegiance to the Constitution, and there are hundreds of Muslim Americans serving in offices across the country who have already done so. 

There is widespread consensus among mainstream Muslim scholars and political advocacy organizations that Muslims can swear allegiance to the Constitution. 

None of the Muslim politicians who won their 2026 midterm races have come out in support of implementing laws based on Islamic teachings, and many have repeatedly affirmed their allegiance to the Constitution.
