Well as I was writing this the posts from saint and sim were hitting -

so maybe sure I can be classified an idiot but this idiot has no reason or inclinication to hate muslims... that being said, I don't think you can have a sub-set of laws associated with Sharia inside a western country if those Sharia laws/guidelines are in conflict with the western laws.

As an example what if the racist nuts in southern US wanted to bring back the rules of the Klu Klux Klan? Would they then be permitted to carry out what the national law considers a hate crime? I think not!
