There are some parts of Sharia Law, that are identical to our laws. Not many, but there are a few.

Which parts of Sharia Law, do you agree with?

This is not about the parts you disagree with. We already know what those are. They have been discussed already. Let's take it another direction.

I do not agree with any aspect of the despicable sharia law and it should never be recognized in this country ever. Period.

I don't agree with any of it. In most cases, even when it resembles western laws, the punishment is death or severe disfigurement because it bases that all laws are derived by God, and that violating those laws are violations to God, which are punishable by death.

No thanks, I don't want to die for small crimes.

Exactly.

Further, IMO, Sharia, and its parent, are abominations on humanity and have never made anyone's life better.

I don't care whether there are redeeming parts. Law and religion can't be allowed to intertwine, it kills freedom.

Sharia law is based 100% on what has come down through the Islamic pipeline. The entire body of that law views men and women in an unequal light. That alone is enough for me to reject it in its entirety.

Sharia law is how political Islam makes its inroads in Western countries. It has no place in the USA. Sharia is not compatable with our Republic and the protection of individual liberties upon which it was founded.

Why anyone would care about Sharia Law is ... well... confounding... as long as Sharia Law doesn't interfere with me, I could care less... The US Laws reign supreme over any Sharia Law so anyone who is frightened by it is really a closet racist IMO because it doesn't involve them... and I am not even muslim... people can choose to follow Sharia Law, they cannot "choose" to follow US Laws...

Agree. Sharia law is as irrelevant to secular law as is the religious law of Catholicism or Mormonism.
