I hear you. But he strikes me as sincere, albeit misguided or misled as to Trump's intention and feeling. He's staked out a position where, if the Constitution and Sharia are in a contest, he would choose the constitution. I'm not saying he would stay there, but unlike many others, he does not say the two forms of law can co-exist. He was pretty harsh on Sharia in the interview. Didn't have a single good thing to say about it.
He says that about Sharia, because he HAS to say that in the situation he is in.
Otherwise he is betraying his Muslim faith by rejecting Sharia.
So, with a wink and a nod, he goes “American” and fools even more people.
