Not sure that follows.

What is 'Sharia Law'?
Sharia Law is the law of the Religion of Islam. The 'Shari'a' Law regulates the 'Path' Muslims should follow if they are to lead good lives.
Shari'a Law regulates not only human relationships between individuals, like other legal systems.
It also regulates human relationships with God.
Therefore, the Shari'a is much more than a law as Westeners know it. It is an entire way of life for Muslims.
The recent coming out by U.S. politicians/media opposing Shari'a Law, and framing their stance as "Muslims want to take over the world", overlooks the fact that Shari'a Law for Muslims would only be in place to govern marriage and divorce- not to supercede the Constitutional/State laws of the western world.
