Florida, long considered a stronghold of conservative values and American patriotism, has officially bowed to the strategic Islamization of its institutions. In a disgraceful bipartisan capitulation, both chambers of the Florida Legislature have adopted resolutions declaring May 2025 as “Muslim-American Heritage Month.” What’s being hailed as “historic” by far-left Islamic leaders is, in fact, a glaring symptom of Florida’s ideological collapse—and a warning shot to every red state in America.
Meet the Lawmakers Who Pushed It Through
This wasn’t some harmless feel-good measure about multiculturalism. It was a calculated campaign led by radical-left legislators with ties to identity politics and Islamic networks:
- HR 8069 (Florida House) was introduced by Rep. Anna Eskamani, a progressive Democrat, is known for leading public abortion-rights rallies in Orlando and actively supporting LGBTQ events, including fundraising for drag performers like “Bottoms Up” Drag Bingo She’s also been a vocal advocate for progressive educational and equity policies.
- It was co-sponsored by Reps. Rita Harris and Angie Nixon, both Democrat firebrands with long histories of identity-based agitation and anti-police rhetoric.
- SR 1384 (Florida Senate) was sponsored by Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, another far-left openly gay progressive who has vocally aligned himself with extremist activists and has frequently demonized conservatives as bigots and “fascists.”
But while the bill was introduced and championed by far-left Democrats, it was Republicans who enabled it. Florida’s House and Senate are both under Republican supermajorities. No Democrat could have passed a resolution like this without GOP cooperation. And cooperate they did, not a single Republican lawmaker publicly opposed SR 1384 or HR 8069. Both resolutions sailed through under GOP control with no dissent, no amendments, and no concern for what they were legitimizing.
The GOP didn’t just “fail to block” the Islamization of Florida’s legislative calendar—they willingly let it happen. That includes Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez, both of whom presided over their chambers during the passage of these resolutions. In a state where Republicans could have buried this in committee or demanded ideological accountability, they chose silence, and with that, complicity.
Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith Pushes Islamic Resolution—For an Ideology That Would Execute Him
Senator Smith is also openly gay, which makes his sponsorship of a resolution celebrating Islamic heritage—particularly one tied to Hamas-affiliated groups—not just ironic, but revealing. That irony disappears when you recognize that the modern left and political Islam share a common goal: the destruction of America, its founding values, and individual liberty. Under Sharia (Islamic law)—revered by groups like CAIR and enforced across the Islamic world—homosexuality is a capital offense, punishable by death. Yet the left shrugs off this brutal reality because their alliance with Islam as a tool of cultural subversion outweighs any concern for the lives of gays and lesbians under Islamic rule.

Islamic texts—including the Qur’an and Hadith– explicitly call for the execution of homosexuals, whether by stoning, burning, or being thrown from rooftops. This isn’t fringe interpretation—it’s mainstream jurisprudence in many Islamic countries today.. CAIR refuses to condemn these practices or the scriptural justification for them.
That a gay lawmaker is championing an ideology that would execute him under its own sacred law is not only self-destructive, it highlights just how blindly ideological and dangerously incoherent the progressive-Islamic alliance has become.
These figures are not cultural diplomats. They are ideological arsonists, and now Florida Republicans have handed them the matchbook.
And the Republicans? Silent or Supportive.
Rather than resisting this obvious political power play, the GOP caved.
Senate President Ben Albritton (R) allowed SR 1384 to pass unchallenged under his leadership, signing the resolution in his official capacity and presiding over a Senate that offered zero resistance. While he did not sponsor or publicly champion the measure, his silence and procedural approval gave it full legitimacy.
This isn’t the first time Albritton has betrayed core conservative values. In November 2024, gun rights advocates were outraged when he publicly opposed open carry legislation in deference to Florida’s law enforcement lobby. “He just smacked Florida’s gun owners in the face,” said Luis Valdes of Gun Owners of America. Albritton stated he would not support a bill that law enforcement didn’t like—despite Florida Republicans holding a supermajority. For grassroots conservatives, it was a wake-up call: even in deep-red Florida, GOP leadership was willing to cave on constitutional rights. His handling of SR 1384 confirmed those fears: a pattern of submission wrapped in politeness, but fueled by political cowardice.

Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez (R) followed the same cowardly playbook in the lower chamber.
After assuming the speakership in late 2024, Perez oversaw the 2025 legislative session in which HR 8069—the resolution declaring Muslim-American Heritage Month—passed without resistance. With a Republican supermajority in hand, Perez could have blocked the measure, forced debate, or at the very least voiced objections. Instead, he stood down, allowing far-left Democrats to embed Islamic identity politics into Florida law with no opposition from GOP leadership.
Worse still, Perez has actively betrayed conservative principles on other critical issues, especially immigration. When Governor Ron DeSantis called a special session in early 2025 to push strong immigration enforcement, Perez balked. Rather than support a hard-line crackdown on illegal immigration, he dismissed the governor’s plan as a “bureaucratic stunt” and pushed forward a watered-down alternative: the TRUMP Act, a bill so toothless that even DeSantis blasted it as “weak, weak, weak.”
Perez didn’t just resist the legislation—he smeared the governor, accusing him of throwing “temper tantrums,” “lying,” and trying to bully the Legislature. This public infighting sent a clear signal: Perez was more interested in appeasing the establishment and virtue-signaling to the left than protecting Florida’s borders.
So while conservative Floridians fight to keep woke ideology out of classrooms, secure the state against illegal immigration, and block the spread of Sharia-inspired policies, their Republican “leaders” are enabling the very agenda they were elected to stop.

The Resolutions Whitewash History and Promote Hamas-Aligned Figures
Both HR 8069 and SR 1384 aggressively rewrite American history and present a sanitized, idealized vision of Islam’s role in America.
The resolutions falsely claim that Muslim immigration began with “indentured workers” in the founding era, conveniently ignoring the reality of Islamic piracy and jihad that led to President Jefferson’s war against the Barbary States. This revisionist framing pushes a noble Islamic origin myth, sidestepping centuries of religious conflict and the actual circumstances of Islam’s earliest contact with the U.S.
The texts celebrate Muslim-American figures such as billionaire Shahid Khan, Florida judge Alli Majeed, and Rep. Christopher Benjamin—without addressing the broader context of Islamist influence campaigns, radical networks, or CAIR’s lobbying power in Florida.
It celebrates Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and Rep. Keith Ellison—three figures who have either defended Hamas, promoted anti-American and anti-Israel narratives, or trafficked in conspiracies that smear Jews, Hindus, and Christians alike. All three have pushed divisive rhetoric rooted in identity politics and grievance-based ideology, often at the expense of religious minorities and Western democratic values.
The resolutions also suggest that Muslim Americans face widespread “discrimination and misunderstanding,” implying the need for increased “cultural competence” in education and policy, progressive code for publicly funded Islamic awareness, and censorship of so-called “Islamophobia.”
Political Islam Is Winning in the Sunshine State
This resolution is not about celebrating culinary diversity or cultural heritage; it is about institutionalizing Islam as a protected political identity, elevating its symbols, and embedding its influence within Florida’s government, culture, and education systems.
Islamic groups—many affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has direct ties to Hamas—are cheering this on. And why wouldn’t they? Florida just handed them a blank check of legitimacy. This is about laying the groundwork for future demands: school holidays for Eid, Sharia-compliant accommodations, censorship of so-called “Islamophobia,” and the normalization of anti-Israel, anti-Western rhetoric in public institutions.
CAIR-Florida, the Hamas-linked organization masquerading as a civil rights group, wasted no time taking a victory lap. They organized a public Friday prayer service at Florida’s oldest mosque—Masjid Al-Ansar in Miami—to commemorate the Legislature’s endorsement of Islam. The event featured CAIR-Florida’s Imam Abdullah Jaber, alongside representatives from ICNA Relief and the South Florida Muslim Federation, which represents over 30 Islamic groups across the state.
In their own words, CAIR-Florida Policy Director Mari Marks declared:
“Recognizing May as Muslim-American Heritage Month in Florida is not only a celebration but also a strategic step in amplifying the influence and contributions of Florida Muslims — both past and present.”
A strategic step. In other words, a deliberate move to normalize political Islam and institutionalize Islamic power structures in one of America’s most historically conservative states.
Florida: The Next Texas?
Florida is now following the same trajectory as Texas, Minnesota, Michigan, and California—states already overrun by Islamic operatives, ideological indoctrination, and growing hostility toward Jews, Christians, and American patriots.
From Miami to Orlando, Islamic centers are gaining political clout. Mosques are receiving funding. DEI offices are pushing “Islamophobia awareness” in schools and the government. And across the country, Democrat officials are now praising two Pakistani-born lawmakers, Suleman Lalani and Salman Bhojani, for leading a calculated campaign to Islamize Texas, treating them as a national model.
And now, with the full weight of the Florida Legislature behind them, Islamic supremacists can claim something they’ve never had before: the formal endorsement of one of America’s most conservative states.
Final Word: The Betrayal Is Complete
If you still think your red state is safe, think again. The Islamic supremacists didn’t need to win elections—they got Republicans to do their bidding for them. With one resolution, Florida has:
- Rewritten American history,
- Glorified Hamas-aligned figures,
- Opened the door to Islamic exceptionalism,
- And betrayed every voter who believed they were electing leaders who would defend Western civilization.
This is not inclusion. This is surrender. And Florida is quickly becoming an Islamic battleground.
RAIR Foundation USA will continue investigating the lawmakers, groups, and funding behind this ideological coup. Stay tuned for deeper dives, exposés, and grassroots calls to action.
This is a developing story. Florida is becoming an Islamic battleground.
