Absolutely not. We should never be judged by religious laws in a court of law, regardless of what religion we are.

No because you now live n breathe in America. Don't like what our laws stand for, your more then free to go back home.

You no longer live in your Country, want those laws and what they stand for, go back home.

Wow, urbanlife, I'm impressed again. You said it exactly right.

Of course not. This is a secular country. Why on earth would anyone think that sharia law could ever be Constitutional?

I for one am profoundly grateful. We don't have to ask ourselves whether the government-supported religion is satisfactory and whether another religion should also be government-supported. We don't have to decide which flavor of a major religion should be favored over the others. We can just say "no, next question".

You appear to hang with the wrong sort of Muslims. Either that, or you get your ideas about Muslims from rather unreliable sources.

No. The same should apply to all religions.

You are subject to the laws of the country you reside or visit. If you don't like those laws, don't move or visit.

Well I am sure more Americans, liberal to conservative would agree with me. I am sure there are a number of things we agree on.

Of course not -- but no one should assume these people are coming because they have one iota of respect for Western culture and laws. They do love the money but that's all.
