独家报道： 曾逃离伊斯兰教法的著名妇女权利活动家阿亚安·希尔西·阿里（Ayaan Hirsi Ali）已支持德克萨斯州共和党参议员约翰·科恩（John Cornyn）寻求连任，这场关键的参议院竞选可能决定共和党是否能保持多数席位。
在宣布支持的视频中，这位经历女性生殖器切割后逃离索马里的演讲者兼作家表示，“只有约翰·科恩有阻止激进伊斯兰极端主义的可靠记录。”
“我亲眼目睹了激进伊斯兰教对妇女、家庭以及忽视预警信号的国家造成的影响。美国并非免疫，德克萨斯州也一样，”她继续说道，并补充道，“这就是经验的重要性。”
这一表态正值德克萨斯州科恩（自 2002 年起担任该席位）、德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）和德克萨斯州共和党众议员韦斯利·亨特（Wesley Hunt）之间一场已颇具争议的参议院初选之际。尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统最近暗示可能会介入，但他尚未对这场竞选表态，称“我的问题是我和他们都很友好。”

德克萨斯州领导人最近对孤星州伊斯兰教法的增长发出警告。共和党州长格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott）最近发布公告，根据德克萨斯州法律将美国伊斯兰关系委员会（Council on American-Islamic Relations，简称 CAIR）和穆斯林兄弟会（Muslim Brotherhood）指定为“外国恐怖组织”和“跨国犯罪组织”。
阿里强调了科恩在抵制伊斯兰教法方面的经验重要性，同时隐晦地批评了可能成为初任参议员的帕克斯顿和亨特。
她说科恩“认真对待这一威胁，而其他人要么否认，要么玩弄政治手段。”
“如果你希望德克萨斯州保护其人民并捍卫其价值观，你需要一位了解危险并知道如何阻止它的领导人，”她说。
“为了保持德克萨斯州的强大和免受激进伊斯兰教的威胁，请投票支持约翰·科恩。”

科恩回应福克斯新闻数字版称：“我很荣幸得到阿亚安·希尔西·阿里的支持，她以自己的亲身经历无畏地谈论了激进伊斯兰教的危险。”
科恩办公室指出了他作为参议员为抵制美国伊斯兰教法所采取的多项行动，包括最近提出的《击败美国伊斯兰教法法案》（Defeat Sharia Law in America Act），该法案旨在明确基于伊斯兰教法的歧视违反《民权法案》；联合发起《禁止伊斯兰教法法案》（No Sharia Act），禁止美国法院执行违反宪法的外国法律或判决；并呼吁美国司法部调查德克萨斯州的“EPIC 牧场城”（EPIC Ranches City）——一个据称以“仅限穆斯林”社区为卖点的总体规划开发项目。
2025 年，科恩还提出立法，剥夺向指定恐怖组织提供物质支持的组织的免税地位，特别针对 CAIR。他还联合发起《穆斯林兄弟会恐怖分子指定法案》（Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act），指示国务卿将该组织指定为外国恐怖组织。
“多年来，我一直在努力对抗这种激进意识形态，从推动禁止伊斯兰教法，到识别、逮捕和起诉恐怖组织，并呼吁司法部调查 EPIC 城市开发项目，”科恩说，“我将继续保护所有德克萨斯州人免受美国任何地方激进伊斯兰意识形态的威胁。”

阿里的支持表态距离德克萨斯州共和党初选日仅剩两周多。
作为参议院共和党高层的科恩还得到了全国共和党参议院委员会（National Republican Senatorial Committee）和全国边境巡逻员工会（National Border Patrol Council）的支持。
与此同时，自 2015 年起担任德克萨斯州最高检察官的帕克斯顿最近得到了查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）创立的“转折点行动”（Turning Point Action）的支持，而退伍军人亨特则得到了“美国优先退伍军人”（Veterans for America First）的支持。
帕克斯顿和亨特都曾在德克萨斯州发声反对伊斯兰教法。帕克斯顿起诉 CAIR 和穆斯林兄弟会，试图关闭其在德克萨斯州的运营；他还起诉 EPIC 项目开发商，指控其未按要求注册投资权益且未验证合格投资者身份，违反了德克萨斯州证券法。
亨特表示，伊斯兰教法“与美国建国原则完全不相容”，并认为它不应在美国法律或公民体系中占据地位。

三位共和党候选人都在各自的竞选中吹嘘自己对特朗普的支持以及推动其议程的记录。
特朗普最近告诉记者，他可能很快会介入这场初选，称“我正在认真考虑”。
“你知道，我的问题是我和他们都很友好。我喜欢他们所有人，三个都是，”特朗普说。
“但你们很快就会看到，”他继续说道，“他们说我支持谁谁就会赢。这可能是对的。”

无论哪位共和党人在初选中胜出，都将面临德克萨斯州民主党众议员贾斯敏·克罗克特（Jasmine Crockett）或进步新星州议员詹姆斯·塔拉利科（James Talarico）的挑战。
据帕克斯顿办公室称，阿里本周晚些时候将在北德克萨斯州与宗教领袖举行竞选圆桌会议。

Sharia law victim who fled Somalia issues endorsement in critical Senate race
‘I’ve seen firsthand what radical Islam does to women, to families, and to nations who ignore the warning signs,’ Ali said

EXCLUSIVE: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a high-profile women’s rights activist who fled Sharia law, has endorsed Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, for re-election in a critical Senate race that could determine whether the GOP retains its majority.
In a video announcing her endorsement, Ali, a speaker and author who fled Somalia after suffering female genital mutilation, said that “only John Cornyn has a proven record of stopping radical Islamic extremism.”
“I’ve seen firsthand what radical Islam does to women, to families, and to nations who ignore the warning signs. America is not immune, and neither is Texas,” she went on, adding, “That’s why experience matters.”
This comes amid an already contentious Senate primary race in Texas between Cornyn, who has held the seat since 2002, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas. President Donald Trump has not weighed in on the race, though he recently hinted he may do so, saying, “My problem is I’m friendly with all of them.”

Texas leaders have recently sounded the alarm about the growth of Sharia law in the Lone Star State. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott recently issued a proclamation designating the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as “foreign terrorist organizations” and “transnational criminal organizations” under Texas law.
Ali emphasized the importance of Cornyn’s experience in pushing back against Sharia law, taking subtle jabs at Paxton and Hunt, who would be first-term senators.
She said that Cornyn “has taken the threat seriously when others choose denial or political games.”
“If you want a Texas that protects its people and defends its values, you need a leader who understands the danger and knows how to stop it,” she said.
“To keep Texas strong and safe from radical Islam, vote John Cornyn.”
GOP GOVERNOR LAYS OUT PLAN TO ‘PURGE’ TERRORISTS AND TERROR SUPPORTERS FROM STATE

In response, Cornyn told Fox News Digital, “I am honored to be endorsed by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has spoken fearlessly about the dangers of radical Islam from her own experience.”
Cornyn’s office pointed to several actions he has taken as senator to push back on Sharia Law in the U.S., including recently Introducing the Defeat Sharia Law in America Act, which the office said aims to clarify that discriminating based on Sharia Law is a violation of the Civil Rights Act, co-sponsoring the No Sharia Act, which it said prohibits U.S. courts from enforcing foreign laws or judgments that violate the Constitution and calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate “EPIC Ranches City” in Texas, a master-planned development that allegedly marketed itself as a Muslims-only community.
In 2025, Cornyn also introduced legislation to strip the tax-exempt status from organizations that provide material support to designated terrorist groups, specifically targeting CAIR. He also co-sponsored the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, which directs the Secretary of State to designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
“For many years now, I have worked to confront this radical ideology, from working to ban Sharia Law, to identifying, arresting and prosecuting terrorist organizations, and calling on the DOJ to investigate the EPIC City development,” Cornyn said. “I will continue to protect Texans from the threat of radical Islamic ideology anywhere in our country.”

Ali’s endorsement comes just over two weeks until the GOP’s primary election day in Texas.
Cornyn, a high-ranking Senate Republican, has also been endorsed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee as well as the National Border Patrol Council.
Meanwhile, Paxton, who has served as the top attorney for Texas since 2015, was recently endorsed by Turning Point Action, the political arm of the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. Hunt, a U.S. Army veteran, has been endorsed by Veterans for America First.
Both Paxton and Hunt have also spoken out against Sharia Law in Texas. Paxton sued CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, seeking to shut them down and bar their operations in Texas. He also sued the developers behind EPIC as well, arguing they violated Texas securities law by selling investment interests without proper registration and by failing to verify accredited investor status as required.
Hunt has said Sharia law is “completely incompatible with the founding principles of the United States of America” and argued it should have no place in U.S. legal or civic systems.

All three Republican candidates have touted their support for Trump and their records of supporting his agenda in their respective offices.
Trump recently told reporters that he may weigh in on the primary race soon, saying, “I’m giving it a very serious look.”
“You know, my problem is I’m friendly with all of them. I like all of them, all three,” Trump said.
“But you’ll be seeing soon,” he went on. “They say whoever I endorse wins. That’s probably right.”

Whichever Republican emerges victorious from the primary election will face off against either leading Democratic voice Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, or progressive rising star state Rep. James Talarico.
According to Paxton’s office, Ali will appear at a campaign roundtable with religious leaders in North Texas later this week.
