This came out in June last year:
Sharia Law versus the U.S. Constitution
"In the United States of America we apply the Constitutional freedom of religion, and classify Islam as a religion rather than a political ideology aimed at world domination. Even outlawing Sharia, as we have recommended, presents the same difficulty, because the Islamic law is itself all bound up in the “religion.”
We are faced with a situation in which foreigners have the unmitigated prefect to plot our death and destruction because of our non-adherence to their foreign laws. Our enemies actually dare to come here and murder innocent people because of their law, edict or fatwa as foreigners not subject to our law. Islamic “immigrants” and local converts feel perfectly free to work within our own borders to achieve our ultimate subjugation or destruction.
Maybe it is time to enforce The Smith Act of 1940, 18 USC § 2385, Advocating overthrow of Government, once again. The act has not been enforced in nearly fifty five years since the days of the Communist Party leader trials from 1949 to 1958
The Law Reads as follows:
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof –
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.
I submit that the Islamic theocracy cannot properly operate anywhere in America without violating this American law. Full enforcement of this act, if that were possible, might result in the elimination of the Islamic theocracy in America. The prohibitions in the act represent the contents of editorials and sermons heard in most if not all Muslim communities and Mosques in America."

It would take quite a bit to alter the American perception of Islam as a religion, but it could happen as folks become aware of the political ramifications of Shariah. The laws on the books go back to the Communist Party in the US during the Cold War, but could be applicable today to the political aspects of Islam. Where there is no separation of Church and State, both may be in trouble if they reside within a larger political system. The Mormons (who combined Church and State) were denied polygamy and prevented from governing themselves for 30 years over very similar issues. Today, the Church governs the Church, but not the State.
In England, things like this are happening. Read it and weep:

Events like this are not regarded in the West as "Freedom of Religion", and are emphatically not protected. Tunisia may also prefer an elected government and professional police to streets patrolled by religious vigilantes. Who here supports even the concept of the Saudi Mutaween?
