Shari'a Law in the United States

[JeffGuidry]

To allow these ideologically seperated groups that advocate dissolution of the very system they petition to allow them to exist is writing the death sentence for our liberal democracy.

Like it happened in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and there are suspictions in UK, the pedophile thing isn´t strange in imans, and they aren´t celibes.

I’m not sure we’re in much of a position to be casting stones about paedophiles right now.

Most recently, several Florida towns were established specifically by religious groups because, until the mid-20th century, the towns were so remote that there was little or no government oversight and the town leaders could impose laws & punishment as they pleased.

Reminds me a little of the proposed Ave Maria town.

Am not sure I understand the question but if Shari law calls for anything different than US law then US law takes prcedent. They could ex-communicate, or whatever their equivalent is, but must follow the US law as for prison time, fines, etc.

They could certainly levy fines, impose prison sentences, etc. The subject of these actions would have to acquiesce, however. And many would be happy to do so, out of obligation and devotion to the community. Just not many non-Muslims.
