The locals are shocked but keep sticking their heads in the sand.

These people were allowed to remain free people in this nation? They were not sent to Saudi or Iran - both nations that observe "only Shari'a?"

If they remain here, they should be forced to obey the laws of this nation - or else our Constitution is of no value, IMO. That Constitution embodies our law; it is for all who live here. Apparently only the daughter understood this.

Can you imagine a Christian standing against the law and declaring he or she obeys the law of Christianity and not that of the U.S.? Even if that wouldn't break the law, it would not be allowed to stand - not with the 'valiant' ACLU and such other organizations.
