5. To be fair, the Grinch has a point

Much of Shariah, if it ever managed to take hold, WOULD be a huge threat to the US. Things like Shariah's stance on divorce, separation of church and state, gay rights, among anythings are opposed to American and indeed Western values. But there aren't actually that many Muslims around to make it happen.

The thing he leaves out as many people point out is that Christian fundamentalism is just as big a threat, and even more so because there are many more people who believe in it. And when you get down to it, the really nasty types of Christian fundamentalism aren't so different than Shariah law.
