Agreed. I assume the vast majority of Americans oppose Sharia law as the law of the land while still supporting religious freedom. As Pat correctly pointed out, Sharia law includes many things similar to Leviticus like don't eat pork. If god didn't want me to eat bacon or pork barbecue he wouldn't have made it so delicious. I don't care if other people want to follow Leviticus or other Old Testament rules that don't infringe upon other's rights or laws (such as it is okay to beat your slave as long as they don't die within 3 days of the beating.)
But, from my perspective the most vocal against Sharia law among Americans are conservative Christians who want to impose their religious beliefs on others and yet are blind to the contradiction. Then act like they are persecuted because they can't block health insurance companies from providing birth control to women for example.
