I'm sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about. I work with several Islamic umbrella bodies and the government on these matters. You have no idea what sharia law is or what makes a moderate or conservative Muslim other than what the misinformed media teaches you.
Sharia law dictates Muslim to respect the law of the land. That overrules most things, unless the rules of the land oppress innocent, kill innocent etc. Even then sharia dictates you must look for diplomatic solutions, aim to create treaties and find peaceful solutions. In other words, not only is Sharia law compatible with pretty much any country in the world, but it is also the only law in any faith that categorically addresses the laws of the land, and how to address any issues in a peaceful manner. So are you saying that Muslims should not follow the law of the land?
The amount of miseducation around what Sharia law means is one of the biggest problems at present as people who know squat don't even realise they are spreading nonsense and creating fear amongst communities. It's beyond logic and understanding to think that people who have studied Sharia law for 50+ years are more likely to be dismissed than some journalist, politicians, racists and others who can't even tell the difference between Muslims and Khawarij.
