I don't know, it could mean a lot of things. First, I'm not sure that everyone means the exactly the same thing when they say "Sharia." Much as you and I don't often mean the same thing when we say "constitutional."

Second, I don't know what they mean by family matters. It could be a limited to a desire to have Sharia to govern the legal relationships among family members (e.g. who is married, who gets custody of children, etc). Or it could mean that Sharia governs all matters within family discretion (i.e. I get to stone my wife for any number of slights.)

Third, I don't know if they mean just the rules or also the penalties.

Fourth, there are lot of Christians running around this country who want their religious principles incorporated into the law of family matters as well (e.g. abortion, divorce, contraception, custody, "traditional" marriage).

Finally, you don't know these things either as the article you quoted makes no tempt to explain it.

That's the problem, the left defends these extremist nuts but has no idea whom they are defending or what the end result is or will be. The MoveOn crowd thinks that they would live in peace and prosperity in the Islamic Republic of America, honoured for all of their hard work in making it possible. The only validation will be seeing the look of shock and horror on their faces when they are the first to go to the soccer stadium.
