1. Much of Shariah is incompatible with the Constitution

This simply cannot be logically disputed. For example, laws regarding freedom of religion, homosexuality and equality of women are blatantly unconstitutional.

However, much of Shariah can also be *personally* observed and followed by Muslims without a conflict as long as the *personal* observance isn't forced on others. It's no problem if a Muslim personally follows the dietary laws, doesn't drink or gamble, or wants to set up a Shariah-compliant bank. The problem is that Gingrich and his ilk oppose even those aspects of Islam existing in this country and think nothing good can come from them (as if less drinking and gambling is a bad thing).
