SHARIAH LAW

It is deeply concerning that undue negative views are being expressed in the media about the Islamic Shariah and  fear is being spread that America will soon have the Shariah Law which is so fake and false. There are two significant facts that must be kept in mind: (1) The US Constitution and Federal laws to a large extent already have in place some of the rules of law propounded by Islam. (2) In Order to have the entire Islamic Law adopted and made prevalent over all other laws, will require a Constitutional change which is unlikely to happen even in next 100 years as there is not sufficient number of representatives that will vote for such an amendment. And American Muslims have not even spoken about such sweeping political changes. To be exact such a vigorous constitutional change will call for a a national referendum. There is neither a need for the action nor it is possible to undertake such a risky step. Any discussions must be held within these perimeters.
