http://www.salon.com/2011/11/29/are_evangelicals_a_national_security_threat/singleton/"If you have the stomach to listen to enough right-wing talk radio, or troll enough right-wing websites, you inevitably come upon fear-mongering about the Unassimilated Muslim. Essentially, this caricature suggests that Muslims in America are more loyal to their religion than to the United States, that such allegedly traitorous loyalties prove that Muslims refuse to assimilate into our nation and that Muslims are therefore a national security threat.
Earlier this year, a Gallup poll illustrated just how apocryphal this story really is. It found that Muslim Americans are one of the most if not the single most loyal religious group to the United States. Now, comes the flip side from the Pew Research Centers stunning findings about other religious groups in America (emphasis mine)"

and the more encouraged they are, the more of a danger they become.

(52,236 posts)3. many of these religious right-wingers in fact are proud to put "god's law" above american law.
their objection to "sharia law" is not that it's a violation of religious liberty or that theocracies are bad.
their objection is simply that it's based on a religion that's not theirs. they want a theocracy, so long as they're the ones determining what god wants.
