There are a couple of Muslims here in Toronto who allegedly were planing to blow up a train...They have appeared in court and one of them who has been here for many years states...I do not believe in or respect your criminal code...I want to be tried through the holy book the Koran....How the hell did we let such a totally disrespectful idiot into our nation? They must think we are utter fools and this nation belongs to no one and it is up for grabs...THIS IS OUR NATION...this is my house- These are the laws of OUR land....
They've also been taught to tie up our courts and twist words....Instead of using the word Sharia, we should use the words 'Muslim values' or 'Islamic values.'"

They are one in the same. The only reason I can think of for preferring the term "Sharia" is to draw from the negative stigma surrounding that word when very few people who use the term seem to know what it means (and what it does not necessarily mean).
Sharia is the Muslim equivalent of "God's will" in Christianity/Judaism. It can mean literally anything, depending on the individual using the word and what they personally believe is their god's will. And just as the dominant view among Christians/Judaists on what constitutes "God's will" has evolved, so too will the dominant view of what Sharia means and does not mean to Muslims. The proof is in the already wide diversity in interpretation that Muslims have gone public about. This simply would not occur if it were the religion itself that was causing all the trouble.
I think immigration in general should be limited and more tightly controlled, especially in Europe. It's completely unacceptable to see Muslim immigrants taking Europeans hostage in their own countries, destroying property every time something offends them and forcing their cultural and religious values/morals down every one else's throats.
Immigration is good (my parents are immigrants) however, mass numbers of uneducated, criminal and poor immigrants coming into a civilized country is very detrimental
Also, another analogy to this other poster's point was that interning Japanese Americans during World War II was justified in order to reduce the risk of the Japanese government successfully spying on the U.S.
So, based on this poll half of all CDers (and probably a reflection of US citizenry as a whole) are clueless maroons? Sounds about right.
Way to go corp media. Mission accomplished.
