Demographic predictions like that are meaningless. The growth of the Muslim population in this country is primarily due to immigration, rather than births. We can completely shut down Muslim immigration tomorrow, if we want to. You are assuming that this country will remain complacent for the next 25 years.
Canada, btw, is already facing the prospect of having to deal with shar'ia law in certain areas in the future, considering the rumblings about it there.
No, what has happened in Canada is that the law now allows two private parties to have their civil dispute governed by Sharia law so long as the provisions of Sharia law do not conflict with Canadian law or public policy.
The law is exactly the same in the US and has been for decades: if two private parties want their dispute settled by Sharia law (or Biblical law, or Klingon law) they are free to contract to do so, so long as the law they choose does not conflict with American law or public policy.
I worked on a transaction where an Islamic investment group bought ownership interests in assisted living facilities. There are (perfectly legal) provisions in the transaction documents requiring that the facilities be operated in a Sharia compliant manner.
This is all "thin edge of the wedge" that we're dealing with today.
Yes, perhaps we will not be as complacent in the future as we have been previously, but will our govt clamp down soon enough?
I can only hope.
Do you know that in Michigan, there is actually a bank that now allows moslems not to have home mortgages, in line with shar'ia law?

"University Bank has initiated an innovative mortgage alternative loan transaction (MALT(TM)(1)) origination program to provide persons of the Muslim faith as an alternative to home mortgages to allow homeowners to be compliant with Muslim Law (Sharia'a). Current conventional mortgage products are prohibited by the tenets of the Muslim faith, which forbid the receipt or payment of interest."
As I said, thin edge of the wedge.
