Sharia law is a system of legal and illegality based solely on the Koran and Islamic teachings. In the United States, it has been widely panned because of its disrespect towards women, amongst other things. Likewise, Sharia law could not be implemented in the United States because it would violate the belief in a separation of Church (or in this case, Mosque) and State.
Despite this, however, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Richard Callahan assured Missouri Muslims yesterday that the Obama Administration would likely step in on behalf of Sharia law should any state try to ban it. Discussing the Missouri State Legislature's attempt to limit Sharia law, Callahan stated:
"The Department of Justice has a good history of challenging laws passed by state legislatures. If some laws are passed, I think you will see challenges by the federal government on the constitutionality of them."
In other words, if Missouri passes a law (which, of course, state have the sovereignty to do), the Administration or higher-ups in it would challenge it. They'll challenge it even though the law would be Constitutional and the thing they are limiting is unconstitutional. That is our government at work.
