I'm more worried about America becoming Catholic compliant.
I keep hearing from conservative talk show hosts that Feisal Abdul Rauf (the Imam for the Park 51/Cordoba House/Ground Zero Mosque) wants a Sharia compliant America and that we should be worried.
Why would Americans EVER condone cutting someone's hands off for stealing (they do also imprison people for theft)? Or stoning to death someone for committing adultery? Or lashing someone for having sex out of wedlock? Or killing someone who renounces their faith? Or allowing more than one wife? Or only allowing the husband to divorce his wife? Or killing homosexuals?
Some of the other laws aren't that big of a deal, or are more related to personal ways of practicing Islam rather than crime and punishment.
But to even humor the thought that we in America have anything to worry about this Imam wanting a Sharia compliant America IMO is laughable.
To be honest I don't know how far the majority of Muslims in America would want to integrate Sharia Law into America, if at all. Some Muslims condemn some of the forms of punishment listed above. Though there is much covered in Sharia law, many of the laws conflict with the rights and practices we have in America. I simply do not believe the laws that go against our constitution and practices would ever be condoned in America.

Naturally we shouldn't be compliant with any religion.
Just curious why you chose Catholic to be more worried about.
Sharia law allows for the stoning death of adulterers, gays etc.
Catholic law would not allow abortions.
I know which one I'd choose to be more worrisom.
Something worse than stoning?Out of a bench of nine, 5 of our Supreme Court Justices are Catholic. That's why I picked it.
And while Sharia law allows for the stoning death of adulterers, gays, etc., Catholic law would be more than just not allowing abortions.
I think the more important question is why is the right so obsessed with telling us that we're one step away from Sharia Law? Of course it's a ridiculous notion, but why are so many people afraid of it?

We won't have to worry about Sharia Law having any power in America. It goes against our core values of separation between Church, and State, and freedom. Muslims are free to practice here in America just like any other religion, but anyone who wants to implement Sharia Law will be sorely disappointed how fast they get shot down by any judge.
Don't forget the Inquisition, and it didn't happen only in Spain.

The poll results make me facepalm.
We have a jackass DP member who goes around messing with polls. :doh This is why I make all my polls public so this person can't **** up the real results. If you click the number next to the choices you'll see 4 members voted "yes"... not 32.
A judge in NJ found in favor of a Muslim who raped his wife. Under Sharia Law he didn't do anything wrong, and the judge took this into consideration. Thankfully it was later overturned.
Things are also going on in Michigan.
Oklahoma also has gone so far as to try to protect themselves from Sharia. On the ballot in Nov. there is a vote to Forbid it.

Like in England, I too am sure it will never happen here...
What happened in England?
