It didn't single out Islam; it mentioned Sharia Law, which is technically "international law."
Do you disagree that this law actually protects Muslims in this country from being unfairly prosecuted according to laws to which they may not want to be held accountable?
Did it ever occur to you that if courts allowed Sharia law to be used, that Muslims who fled their countries to escape Sharia law could then be unjustly persecuted in the United States?
