Warnings of a "full Sharia law community" called New Africa in Little Rock, Arkansas, by the Islamic Center for Human Excellence (ICHE), citing a required "Islamic Bill of Assurance" for buyers that references Quran social guidelines including no alcohol.The 6-acre John Barrow neighborhood project, with plans for 22 homes, a mosque, school, and clinic, was unanimously approved by the city planning commission in December 2020; only about 5 homes have been built since, using private deed restrictions and mosque-linked HOA rules enforceable as civil contracts.Similar to other religious HOAs, the covenants do not override U.S. or state law or establish courts, but recent viral attention has fueled outrage, leading to a rejected Arkansas bill aimed at blocking Sharia in property disputes and drawing parallels to Fair Housing Act scrutiny of other Islamic developments.
