What is this Sharia law they're talking about?

Does this Administration's Economic Plan [indiscreetly] include aspects of Sharia Law? How would we know, and how can we find out?  The following represents some Google-ing.

FBI EXPERT: ISLAMIC GROUPS To SLOWLY IMPLEMENT SHARIA LAW In THE U.S.
“Bedford County, TN - A former FBI special agent told law enforcement and Homeland Security personnel that a network of Islamic organization are working to incrementally implement Islamic law in the United States. . . . Guandolo worked in the FBI since 1996, including nine years as a member of its SWAT team. After 9/11, he worked in the Bureau's Washington Field Office's Counterterrorism Division, developing expertise concerning Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood organizations and the Islamic movement in the U.S. He now works with Stephen Coughlin, former Islamic Expert for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to advise leaders at the federal level and also brief local law enforcement about the Islamic threat at home.”

What is Islamic Sharia law and what does it mean to you and me vis-a-vis American freedom’s principles as we have known them. A few sources:

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sharia law a danger to
women
Letter, Feb. 17 Aliya Khan continues [… that] media highlight the dangers of sharia law and the hypocrisy of those who pretend to speak for Islam and Muslims. This is a thinly veiled attempt to silence the media from taking a critical view of man-made medieval laws that Islamists are trying to pass off as divine texts. 
Khan says "one need only consult Saheeh Bukhari" to know about true sharia law. I have read this man-made text and it is not only misogynist but it permits husbands to beat their spouses as a divinely ordained method of discipline. As a Muslim mother of two daughters, I would like to thank the Star for making the connection between the beheading of a 37-year-old woman in Buffalo and the sharia laws that condone spousal abuse and make it almost impossible for a woman to get out of an abusive marital relationship.

TOP TEN REASONS why sharia is bad for all societies
Traditional Muslims who understand the Quran and the hadith believe that sharia (Islamic law) expresses the highest and best goals for all societies. It is the will of Allah. But is Islam just in its laws that Muhammad himself practiced and invented? This article says no for ten verifiable reasons. Here are four points you must

WASHINGTON, DC – Amid disturbing revelations that the verdicts of Islamic Sharia courts are now legally binding in civil cases in the United Kingdom, U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) moved quickly today to introduce legislation designed to protect the United States from a similar fate.


STOP SHARIA BANKING IN CANADA
Banks are helping sharia make a back-door entrance. Articles and essays written against the introduction of man-made Sharia Law in Canada, falsely presented as divinely ordained Islamic Law. In 2003, the Islamists tried to sneak these medieval laws under the guise of family law and failed. In 2008, they have lined up big banks to introduce Sharia through banking and mortgages. NoSharia


SHARIA LAW TEARING THE WEST IN 
TWO 
CBNNews.com - Sharia, or Islamic law, is gradually working its way into public life in Islamic and non-Islamic nations around the world. What is it and what does sharia mean for Christians and others forced to abide by it? . . . . Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose sharia law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two. She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law. Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before emigrating to America in 1978 . . . .For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed.


FINDING A PLACE TO PRAY 

Adam, 10, praying* at [at a school] in Wayne after being driven there from school by his mother. The school district had offered to let him pray at recess — either outside or in a classroom while classmates are there. And that, says Awwad, is "unacceptable." …. “‘All I want from the school is to let my son pray in a private place in a small room, say his prayer and go back to class,’ she said.” ….

“ In Passaic, an elementary school student is allowed to pray privately in a classroom storage closet, Superintendent Robert Holster said. A middle school principal in Cliffside Park allows a student to pray in her office, Superintendent Michael Romagnino said. If an elementary school child wanted a private place to pray, the superintendent said he would ask the principal to make an accommodation in an available office. And Teaneck High School sets aside a room where Muslim students are allowed to go and say their prayers, said district spokesman Dave Bicofsky.”


This is all about imposing Islam on infidels. This is creeping sharia. This is the march to Islamic domination. This is about power. There is no special treatment for "special classes". This is how they impose their Islam on a secular society. Muslim footbaths in airports and universities, Muslim cab drivers who refuse to take passengers with dogs or alcohol, prayer times in public schools, prayer times in the work place ............. this is how you lose your country.  Atlas Shrugs

Former FBI Special agent John Guandolo:
"They're having great success of implementing Shariah law, I could give you a thousand examples," Guandolo said.  He said small concessions like installing foot baths, and colleges forced to have separate swimming times for Islamic men and women so not to offend Muslims, are other parts of the strategy.
