If tomorrow all muslims in the US go to sharia, no law is broken.
If they kill an infidel , under sharia no problem, those responsible have broken the US law against murder.
Still a long ways from getting sharia under freedom of religion
According to Rastafarians they should be smoking in front of the police station,not, not even in Jamaica
Here is some sharia as it stands in Iran, I don’t think this will fly

Sharia Finance
What is Islamic Finance?
The basis for all Islamic finance lies in the principles of the Sharia, or Islamic Law, which is taken from the Qur'an and from the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Islamic form of finance is as old as the religion of Islam itself.
Central to Islamic finance is the fact that money itself has no intrinsic value. As a matter of faith, a Muslim cannot lend money to, or receive money from someone and expect to benefit – interest (known as riba) is not allowed. To make money from money is forbidden – wealth can only be generated through legitimate trade and investment in assets. Money must be used in a productive way.

This is a perfect example of why non-Muslims have nothing to fear from Sharia law. There is nothing in Sharia law that imposes this or anything else on non-Muslims. So why should the US, religious freedom bastion, prevent one Muslim from entering into a Sharia contract with another Muslim for a no-interest loan?
What does it do to anyone besides the Muslims who agree to abide?
Please pay attention because this is important and many of you are too busy being stupid to get it. Sharia law only applies to people who AGREE to follow Sharia law.
I guess when Christians tell me that I should die for listening to rock music that means under Abrahamic law, christians want me murdered for listening to rock music.

Yes they were. They were the religious police in that place following those cultural norms, NOT SHARIA LAW.

Now continue being ignorant.
They claimed to be lenient because i was a visiting American, but... they claimed it was all written in Islamic (Sharia) Law and I could look it up.. What was I missing when they were treating a human being like a sub-class (this was Saudi Arabia btw)
So some people in some other country roughed you up and told you it was Sharia and viola, you learned what Sharia is and are an expert qualified to opine on it?

Or...those christians are nuts and wrong, just like some muslims are nuts and wrong too.
You did not have to take their word for it, you could look it up for yourself.

Religion in China has been characterized by pluralism since the beginning of Chinese history. The Chinese religions are family-oriented and do not demand the exclusive adherence of members. Some scholars doubt the use of the term "religion" in reference to Buddhism and Taoism, and suggest "cultural practices" or "thought systems" as more appropriate names.[1] The questions of what should be called religion or religious in China, and who should be called religious is up to debate.[2]
