Larry Shaw is a Democratic member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's twenty-first Senate district, including constituents in Cumberland County. A corporate executive from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Shaw is currently serving in his seventh term in the North Carolina Senate. Previously, he served one term in the North Carolina House of Representatives.

Shaw was the highest-ranking Muslim elected official in the United States until the election of Keith Ellison to represent Minnesota's 5th congressional district.[1][2] Shaw remains the longest-serving Muslim elected official, serving a total of 16 years (before being elected to the state senate in 1996, he was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1994).

Larry Shaw also serves on the National Board of Council on American-Islamic Relations. He became chairman of the board in 2009. [3]

In the wake of what has been dubbed the "worst terrorist attack since 9/11"[4], which was the jihad terror attack at the Army base in Fort Hood, Texas by Major Nidal Malik Hasan[5], Senator Larry Shaw has been revealed as an advocate of jihad terror attacks against the US military. The book Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America revealed that Senator Shaw has spoken to encourage and justify jihadist terror attacks on the aircraft transporting the 82nd Airborn Division, a US Army unit based in Shaw's own congressional district in North Carolina.
