Please accept my most sincerest apologies for not posting seriously about the imminent threat posed by SHARIA LAW

A threat that is not imminent is no less a threat. I agree it is highly unlikely that the federal government will implement sharia law anytime soon. However we live in a representative democracy in which citizens are afforded a say In their own governance. At the very least that means Sharia is permitted a measure of
influence no matter how small. The more adherents that we admit, the greater that influence becomes. Islam also advocates large families, which further amplifies the influence.
It is obvious that you do not agree with Sharia law, but the threat it poses via the values held by Muslims is very real and should not be ignored simply because it is unlikely to be enacted as law. A far more benign illustration if this is social conservative views on abortion. Is it likely the Federal government will outlaw abortions anytime soon? No. Do social conservatives play a role in shaping related law?
Now it may well be that surrounding Muslims with Western culture will temper their beliefs, but that has not been well demonstrated and it is reasonable to attribute that failure of assimilation to flaws in the text the religion is based on. If you have not read any of the Koran I would encourage you to do so.
