Sharia Law

The Imam that wants to build the mosque near the former trade center thinks that muslims should be allowed to practice sharia law in the US. Does this make sense to anyone? He has received money from the taxpayers to make a trip to Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries for GOD knows what. Does this make sense to anyone? Is there any other religion in the world that issues death condemnations {fatwas} on individuals? Does this make sense to anyone?
