One answer is because people who do not believe in Allah, from Sarah Palin to Gen. David Petraeus to assorted ministers and rabbis, have succumbed to a specifically Islamic brand of blackmail (the "or else" of violence or other outbreaks of "extremism"), thus accommodating and even lobbying for the uniquely Islamic prohibitions against written, pictorial or symbolic criticism. In so doing, they have also succumbed to the Islamic narrative. That narrative, or rationale, tells us that burning a Quran causes murder and mayhem, putting our troops, our citizens, our cities and our interests at increased risk. In this narrative, the actual bad actors are absolved of both volition and blame. Similarly, drawing cartoons of Muhammad (Kurt Westergaard, Lars Vilks) -- or not drawing cartoons of Muhammad ("South Park") -- sermonizing about violence within Islam (the Pope), and critiquing Islam (Geert Wilders' "Fitna") are increasingly viewed as unacceptably "insensitive" and "disrespectful" provocations in Western society, regardless of their free-speech protections.

Question is: Does the Constitution trump Barack Hussein Obama?
Islam seems itself as higher than any government. Higher than the Constitution.
When will our “leaders” effectively recognize that fact?
democracy is…forbidden for Muslims…democracy (is) incompatible with Islam because the Koran insisted Allah was the sole lawmaker… humans have no right to make laws.

She is not on the SCOTUS so her opinion, as much as I am in agreement with it, will not be considered. It is akin to the Obama BC — don’t mention it because no congress critter is listening or dares to push it.
According to a blog I just read, a more specific response is that Shariah clashes with our 1st and 14th amendments, as it stands against free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and the right of all citizens to be treated equally under the law.
