So for the Times, the focus on Shariah law is at best a diversion from the real concerns of our nation. No matter that “more than two dozen states” have adopted legislation addressing broad uneasiness about resort to Shariah law. And in any event, the worrisome nature of Shariah law is only the narrow work product of some Jewish guy in Crown Heights.
We suggest it does no one any favors to ignore the special challenge to our country posed by Islamic fundamentalists who seek a transformation of America into their image.
This is an unprecedented, but not a necessarily insurmountable, problem. It would help if institutions like The New York Times, rather than hide behind an impenetrable fa?ade of political correctness, would begin facing up to reality.
