We are religious people living within a civil society, not civil society living under religious institutions...
Let's look at countries where the majority of the people support sharia law...
yup, we're fecked. Someone, bring saddam back from the dead please.
What is scary, is that here in the U.S. there has been some attempt to use Sharia. In New Jersey for example a husband who raped his wife tried to use Sharia as a defense in his criminal trial. What is even more scary is that the trial judge actually was going to allow him to use it as a defense until he was over ruled by a higher court.

Also in Dearborn Michigan there has been many cases of Honor Killings and Law Enforcement has actually in many cases ignored these events
