Your last point (the one about universities offering degrees in Quranic law, sharia, and so on) -- well, it's already available at some Canadian universities. And the attitude here (in academia) is that this is a wonderful thing...thus we have "profs" preaching at Canadian universities the merits of Islam and Shari'a law...Also, did you catch the article on "Teaching Johnny about Islam" posted at investors.com ? A court ruling in California allows students to pretend to be Muslim for up to two weeks (prayers, fasting at Ramadan, etc.) and not a peep from the ACLU (the same organization that wants to rid any mention of the Divine at schools or during a reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. The hypocrisy is mind boggling...)
