Leaving aside whatever aspects of sharia they may be pushing for, or whatever aspects of sharia may be debatable -- do you find it at all disturbing that people would suggest that a subset of the population should be judged by a different set of laws?

It's disturbing, but not unprecedented. Take, for example, the Christian Scientists and Jehovah's Witnesses claiming they have the religious right to deny medical treatment to their minor children. It's also no more objectionable in a purely abstract sense than the Wingnuts in Kansas and elsewhere who want to take evolution out of the textbooks.

I find the notion abhorrent, but I freely admit that it's because I find Sharia to be abhorrent.
