My opinion is that any law that abridges the rights of United States citizens should be—and may actually be—illegal here. That would include much of Sharia law.

The first thing that comes to my mind is the constitutional prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Uh, yeah. Putting the issue of U.S. citizensship aside - any set of laws (i.e., Sharia) that is counter to our own laws is illegal here! There are examples across our country every day of this - beatings, physical abuse, “honor” killings and more - all condoned, even prescribed, under Sharia Law. Most of these stories are in local papers and don’t make the national news, unfortunately.

And they are also pushing Sharia banking here, which is now widespread in Europe

Stealth Jihad - there are some good books on the subject.

Does that include abridging the right to engage in voluntary contracts between consenting adults? Let's not get carried away here.
