He has stated in the past that he is for Islamic courts in the US that can not be overruled by secular courts. I can not find him saying it, and I am very tired. Here is an interview with someone referencing it.

Just start at 6:25, though the entire thing is interesting to listen to.

I think this is what your looking for and again your interpretation is based on the right-wing bias as presented in your own link towards this Imam which is false. Watch the video and actually listen to what he says. He is not saying US should have Islamic courts, but that Amercian values are one in the same with Shariah law. Now, what you and the Fox news and other fail to realize is his descriptions of Shariah law are not the same as those of extreamist states in the Middle East which do NOT follow the Quran but follow Hadith literature. His view is based on the Quran. He even specifically mentions religious freedom which does not exist in Saudi Arabia and other places.
