Al Qaida wants to destroy Western Civilization. Then again, there are at least a half dozen other groups that would like to see the end of Western Civilization, specifically the end of the US. For several of these groups, our culture-liberalism, personal freedom, liberty - is at the heart of what they loathe. The freedom of women to dress as they choose, walk as they choose, go where they like, drive whenever and with whomever. The right of gays to express themselves, people to live together or not, of women to divorce, of everything that we allow, for better or worse - they want to destroy us because of them.
If you go to Saudi Arabia with one Bible, they will take it from you at the airport and shred it. If you have more than a few Bibles, you will be imprisoned. You should know the laws before you go and you are subject to their laws.
If you go to Thailand, and purchase drugs, you run the risk of life in prison or death (depending on quantity). Laws of that country and while we may whine and cry for our friend/relative who was caught - Thailand has a right to enforce its laws.
China - if you participate in behavior that is counter cultural/social/political, you risk imprisonment, varying from 3 to 14 years. The laws of the country. If you transport and or try to sell heroin - death.
If you go to the US from Somalia and see a woman wearing a halter top and cut off shorts, she must want you to rape her. When you are arrested, you should claim it was all a misunderstanding and it wasn't your fault. The US should require their women to dress modestly.
What if it was done piecemeal - only Muslims would be obliged to abide by certain dress codes and if they fail to, they will be judged by their laws - very nearly in front of us, and we would be unable to intervene for religious reasons. Divorce is another area - why engage in Western divorce when 1/2 is too much for males ... use Islamic law where women are restricted in what they can challenge and ask for. Perhaps a turn back of the clock to an earlier time - say the 1940s, where women were again 2nd class and struggled for what they did receive.
In Britain, the UKs top judge said shari'a law SHOULD be used.

One of the worst ideas that has come from Britain. Why not destroy your legal system now Phillips. Of course, I know your response - but already shari'a is used in small villages and councils, communities to settle disputes outside the English legal system. Philips, it is amazing to me that someone so bright misses the difference - the fact something goes on (drug use) does not necessarily argue that it should be legalized. Sodomy goes on, pedophilia goes on - you know it does, but that does not mean we should accept it. Shari'a is used by Muslims to avoid the British system, but that is all unofficial. If one member wished to go to court, their rights would be protected under British law - not so under shari'a. Another reason you will give is - the British system is overworked. This is the stupidest reason. Police are overworked, so we should just decriminalize more things I suppose. Clear up the courts. Throw out frivolous lawsuits. Require all divorce cases and child custody cases to go to mediation first. There are ways Philips, without opening the door to the downfall of your legal system, and ultimately to mine.
