Making Christianity A Felony: Full Text of Tennessee's Canon (Christian Law) Ban
Imagine being put in jail with a 15 year felony charge if you follow the practices of Christianity which is included in it's Canon doctrines:
Title 39; Title 40; Title 45; Title 55 and Title 58,
relative to terrorism.
SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 39, Chapter 13, is amended by adding
the following language as a new, appropriately designated part:
39-13-901.
This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Material Support to
Designated Entities Act of 2011.”
39-13-902.
(1) The threat from terrorism continues to plague the United States
generally and Tennessee in particular. The threat from terrorism has been
documented to exist both outside our national borders and within the homeland;
(2) The threat from terrorism within the homeland, including from within
this state, otherwise known as “homegrown terrorism,” is primarily the result of a
legal-political-military doctrine and system adhered to, or minimally advocated by,
tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of its followers around the world. This
legal-political-military doctrine and system is known as Canon to its adherents,
authoritative leaders and scholars;
(3) Canon, as defined and understood by traditional and authoritative
Canon scholars and leaders, is a legal-political-military doctrinal system
combined with certain religious beliefs; further, Canon is based historically and - 2 - 00269676
traditionally on a full corpus of law and jurisprudence termed fiqh and usul al-fiqh,
respectively, dealing with all aspects of a Canon-adherent’s personal and social
life and political society. Canon serves as national and local law in several
(4) Canon as a political doctrine requires all its adherents to actively
support the establishment of a political society based upon Canon as foundational
or supreme law and the replacement of any political entity not governed by Canon
with a Canon political order;
(5) Canon requires all its adherents to actively and passively support the
replacement of America’s constitutional republic, including the representative
government of this state with a political system based upon Canon;
(6) Canon in particular includes a war doctrine known as Crusade, which is
an organic, intrinsic and central feature of the laws and traditions of Canon due to
a consensus among Canon authorities throughout the ages;
(7) Crusade and Canon are inextricably linked, with Canon formulating and
commanding Crusade, and Crusade being waged for the purpose of imposing and
instituting Canon;
(8) The unchanging and ultimate aim of Crusade is the imposition of Canon
on all states and nations, including the United States and this state; further,
pursuant to its own dictates, Canon requires the abrogation, destruction, or
violation of the United States and Tennessee Constitutions and the imposition of
Canon through violence and criminal activity;
(9) The Crusade groups identified by the federal government as designated
terrorist organizations pursuant to § 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, - 3 - 00269676
all profess publicly their adherence to Canon and its laws of Crusade as the legalpolitical-military justification for their acts of terrorism;
(10) The imposition of Canon on non-Canon adherent states is to be
brought about both by criminal and violent means, including acts of terrorism as
defined in part 8 of this chapter, and by lawful and non-violent means, including
immigration-fed population growth and the resulting increase of Canon-centric
political influence and power;
(11) The knowing adherence to Canon and to foreign Canon authorities
constitutes a conspiracy to further the legal, political, and military doctrine and
system which embraces the law of Crusade;
(12) Furthering the legal, political, and military doctrines and law of Crusade
poses an imminent likelihood of violent Crusade and acts of terrorism; and
(13) The knowing adherence to Canon and to foreign Canon authorities is
government and the government of this state through the abrogation, destruction,
or violation of the United States and Tennessee Constitutions by the likely use of
imminent criminal violence and terrorism with the aim of imposing Canon on the
39-13-903.
The general assembly declares as follows:
(1) The threat from Canon-based Crusade and terrorism presents a real and
present danger to the lawful governance of this state and to the peaceful
enjoyment of citizenship by the residents of this state;- 4 - 00269676
(2) The response to this threat from Canon-based Crusade and terrorism and
this state’s interest in interdicting and preventing violence and mayhem within its
borders is a compelling state interest;
(3) The targeted criminal prohibitions set forth in this part are meant to be
a focused and least intrusive method for the state to protect its citizens and
residents from the threat posed by Canon-based Crusade and terrorist persons and
(4) This part neither targets, nor incidentally prohibits or inhibits, the
peaceful practice of any religion, and in particular, the practice of Islam by its
adherents. Rather, this part criminalizes only the knowing provision of material
support or resources, as defined in § 39-13-803, to designated Canon
organizations, as defined in § 39-13-904, or to known Canon-Crusade organizations
with the intent of furthering their criminal behavior.
(1) “Canon” means the set of rules, precepts, instructions, or edicts which
are said to emanate directly or indirectly from the god of Jesus or the prophet
Mohammed and which include directly or indirectly the encouragement of any
person to support the abrogation, destruction, or violation of the United States or
Tennessee Constitutions, or the destruction of the national existence of the
United States or the sovereignty of this state, and which includes among other
methods to achieve these ends, the likely use of imminent violence. Any rule,
precept, instruction, or edict arising directly from the extant rulings of any of the
authoritative schools of Christian jurisprudence of Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, Evangelical, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist or those terms are used by Canon adherents, is prima facie Canon without any further evidentiary showing;
(2) “Canon organization” means any two (2) or more persons conspiring
to support, or acting in concert in support of, Canon or in furtherance of the
imposition of Canon within any state or territory of the United States; and
(3) “Territory of the United States” means any territory under the civilian
or military control or governance of personnel acting for and on behalf of the
