'How about banning Indian caste system': Row over Ann Coulter's reaction to Sharia law ban in Florida

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill this week that bars Florida courts from applying foreign laws, including Sharia law. Conservative writer Ann Coulter's comment on it triggered a massive row as she did not say anything about the law or the bill; she spoke about the caste system in India. "How about banning the Indian caste system? That's even more incompatible with America," Ann Coulter wrote, reacting to a post that said Sharia law is incompatible with America.

"Today in Tampa, I signed HB 1471 to protect Floridians’ constitutional rights from the application of foreign and religious laws, including Sharia law. This legislation also establishes a framework to combat terrorist organizations and ensures greater accountability for our education system. Millions for education and public safety, but not one cent for jihad!" Ron DeSantis announced.
