Well, you could (for example) make exactly the same point about Christian Reconstructionists, who would also like to convert many if not all Americans to their version of Christianity and then begin the process of instituting their strict "Christian" law.
Just because a group or religion has a goal doesn't mean they're likely to achieve it. I'm not the least bit worried that the majority of Americans will voluntarily convert to Islam and then amend the laws and Constitution to impose Sharia. Maybe it will happen in other countries, but not here. If I want to worry about things, I've got lots and lots of items higher on the priority list. Like earthquakes here in California. Or high taxes. Or the Star Trek: Enterprise series ending. Or finding a nice Mother's Day card.
But not Sharia in the United States.
The difference is that Christianity is not at odds with Democracy. Islamic practices are at odds with democracy. The country has been judeo-christian since it's inception and we've moved farther away from their practices not toward them. With a muslim majority, they would push the country toward religion and ultimately into Shari'a
I do not doubt that there are man fine americans who are also of the islamic faith. My problem is their ability to protect our country's democracy over the teachings of their faith, as Christians must do each day. Can or will they separate the two? That question needs to be answered.
Time for a re-evaluation of your priorities. Canada is starting down the road of Sharia Law. There have been quite a few posts about it here at FR. Type Sahria Law into the search engine!

Unrestricted Moslem immigration is transforming Europe. Sharia is practiced in parts of Ontario. The Islamic Society of Boston is building a $22 million Islamic center on a 1.9-acre lot (refs on the Boston center: http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/115). It's not a question of it's happening here, but how soon.
