One of the arguments against allowing sharia courts in the United States is that we would no longer have a common legal framework within our society. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Islamic law is one of the world’s three most common legal systems, along with civil law and common law. In most Islamic countries, the law is based on sharia, a system of law derived from the Qur’an as well as the sayings and doings of Muhammad and his companions. Sharia means “way” and provides the legal framework for many aspects of Muslim life, including politics, banking, business, family, economics, and social issues.
