text: MSW, I did as you advised and replaced "sharia law" with 'canon law".  The result is nonsensical.  
  
  "Moreover, many tenets of sharia law (canon law) directly contradict the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Sharia law (canon law) permits cruel and unusual punishments; the open-ended sharia blasphemy laws (canon blasphemy laws) makes free speech highly problematic; and the apostasy and dhimmitude laws more or less cancel out religious freedom."
  
  There is no comparison of canon law, which is for how Catholics should act as part of their religion, with sharia law, which is how Muslims and every Dhimmi in their countries must act in all aspects of their private and public life or face prosecution and death.
