Interview with Wajahat Ali http://www.fpif.org/articles/interview_with_wajahat_ali

The anti-sharia movement came out of this. The Oklahoma referendum against sharia law has now spread to 15 other states. But it didn't happen overnight. It was a well-orchestrated effort. One or two elected officials joined up with anti-Muslim bigots. They introduced the legislation. They held press conferences. The wording of these referenda comes from David Yerushalmi – self-proclaimed expert, who has also written about the superiority of “Whites” to “Blacks.” He's a big buddy of Frank Gaffney, who runs the Center for Security Party, which released a report on the "sharia threat" a few months ago coauthored with Andrew McCarthy and James Woolsey.

The American Prospect has done good exposes on Yerushalmi. The people who are saying "no sharia"? It's like they're saying, "we want no unicorns." People get upset about the issue. They galvanize their base. They try to amend the law. And if they're successful, they say, "See we protected America from unicorns." Any sane person would say, "Yes, but there are no unicorns in America."Federal law protects U.S. citizens from being "infected" by foreign law. If foreign law is in conflict with U.S. law, the foreign law gets knocked out. The notion that sharia could take over is a fallacy.

[i have few criticisms wich ill adress bit later,mainly the reference to southern poverty law's center and its hate group list...
