Protesters who gathered on Saturday to denounce Islamic law were met across the country with equally sized or larger counter-protests.
Organizers called the "March Against Sharia" rallies to protest what they say is the threat to U.S. society posed by the set of traditional Muslim practices, which they say includes oppression of women, honor killings, homophobic violence, female genital mutilation and other abuses.

Muslims are a growing minority and based on my beliefs, should be allowed into eh country, but without the amount of political power they hold now. An example is beling able to politically fight for these NON-US like set of rules/laws knows as the Sharias. The Islamic State is not being attacke shut is rather growing and gaining more power. Their power grows between oil, money and other factors. They know they have some control of the US due to their oil and can make them move in any direction they want ether it's with fighting terrorist or in the Isreal Palestine situation. This is not fair to the Us which has been helping the Islamic State especially under the Obama administration. The United States of America is pouring money and our army into fighting terrorism, while the Islamic countries aren't doing anything about it although it affects them more most likely at least for the time being or in our current time period with the current rate of Islamic theorist sprasfing and terrorism in general spreading. These laws can't be present in the US or any place globally. If you ask me, we should eb worried about Russia, but rather the Islamic countries.

Sharia is not the same as all of Islam. Sharia is a specific part of the Islamic ideology that is followed by a fraction of Muslims. It is a fundamentally unconstitutional system of laws that prohibits many rights and destroys the secularism of an unbiased, democratic government.
Muslims do deserve the same rights, including citizenship; it is also within their rights to create a political party if they so choose. But Sharia law has no place in a democratic government. There are even Muslims who denounce Sharia law.

At the same time, people are free to voice their desires; it is a liberal democracy, after all. Both anti-Sharia and pro-Sharia protesters are right in that they believe in something and speak out; this is how democracy evolves - through public debate.
Something I would like to criticize, however, is this notion somewhat prevalent among many people supporting cultural relativism (which, in itself, is logically self-consistent): "It is just their culture, we should not judge them for it". No, it is not "just" their culture. Take Saudi Arabia, for example. They say: "Women covering their heads is a part of our culture". Well, if that was true, then they would not have to enforce it: women would just cover their heads because they value their culture, and everyone would be happy. But instead they imprison women for not covering their heads, which means that it is not their culture, but it is a culture that is forced on them. A forced culture is principally different from a natural culture: it mixes people into the grey goo by force, rather than letting them choose whether to jump into the grey goo pool or not.
From this point of view, the anti-Sharia protesters were "more right" than pro-Sharia ones, since the former wanted to prevent the law system forcing people into a culture, while the latter wanted to bring this system in.

IF, and ONLY IF your intention was to suggest that a small margin of Muslims follow Sharia Law then I present you the following:
Opposition to this conclusion is largely based on the idea that following "Some" of Sharia Law is ok despite a total lack of evidence as to what that "Some" of Sharia Law specifically is. My opinion on the matter is that while I'm fairly confident that somewhere in the 3rd Reich Nazi code of laws there's at least one positive practice that doesn't hurt anyone...if you were to suggest that following the 3rd Reich Nazi Code of Laws is somehow good if you "Only follow certain parts" then you'd still be deserving of complete social banishment. Sharia Law and the Nazi Code are so incredibly morally reprehensible that it doesn't matter how you cut and piece parts of it out to "Only keep the good parts", you will inevitably label yourself as immoral for following any version of either.
