Pretty ironic how the intro in this video pretty much describes the postings on this site.

I gots dem ole Sharia Laws Blues agin, Mama!
Interesting video, albeit not what I expected. Very clear (if somewhat alarmist) denunciation of all things Islamic.
I particularly noticed a bit more than the usual "Oh NOE! Sharia Law!" scaremongering. While Sharia law might be able to gain a toehold in Europe, it will never EVER be established here (Glenn Beck's frothing at the mouth notwithstanding).
The US Constitution has withstood 200+ years of attempts to institute a "Christian Nation" theocracy, there are far, far fewer Muslims in the United States. It's...just...not...gonna...happen.
"Sharia Law" is little more than a conservative fund-raisin' bugaboo. It's part of the "us vs. them" wedge that conservative Christians are using to drum up outrage. Yeah, thieves get their hands cut off under sharia law, gamblers get whipped and homos get summary execution (You'd think you'd see some approval from conservative Christians with regard to the latter!).
I've said it before, sharia law is a rather brutal, intolerant, unforgiving set of rules that governing brutal, intolerant, unforgiving countries. I sincerely doubt we'll ever see anything vaguely resembling sharia law in any first-world country now or in my lifetime.

Sharia law in any first-world country
I sincerely doubt we'll ever see anything vaguely resembling sharia law in any first-world country now or in my lifetime.
Lets see how the French deal with the issue.

Cyclist I guess the UK doesn't count either
UK’s first official sharia courts
Nothing to see here move along, move along.
Let's check Bacons logic shall we?
United Kingdom-Sharia Compliant Courts
Italy-Sharia Compliant Beaches and Courts
Nah nothing to worry about.

From the Sharia Law article
Secretary-General of the Irish Council of Imams Ali Selim said: "There is a clear misunderstanding of the term Sharia law. People get alerted to what will happen them when they hear this term and see it as a negative thing. But under Sharia law a Christian can live by Christian laws, a Jew by the laws of Judaism, and Muslims by Sharia law.
"If the majority in a country want something and vote for it, do you accept it or do you put it in the bin? If a majority want it then it should happen. If not, that is a dictatorship."
Now the wearing of the Burka? is another issue. People come here for religious freedom. We live under the Constitution - not a 'religious' law. Hopefully, it would be unconstitutional to 'vote' on living under CHristian, Jewish, or Sharia Law in the U .S.

Oh sure that's how it starts
all let's get along and such. Once you get comfortable "living" together singing kumbayah and such then out of no where you can't eat pork, you can't discuss their religion, you can't even draw a cartoon without a fatwa issued against you.
They are building and becoming a third or fourth voting block. The quote shows it as soon as they get the majority they will take over.
Better hope America wakes up soon. I bet you would not enjoy wearing a burqa in the Georgia summers.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Oh we can't stop Muslims from blowing up Airplanes. Why? Because we have to shake down 6 year olds.
