The specter of sharia law taking root in the nation haunts the dreams of many Americans. So on Saturday “March Against Sharia” rallies were held across the nation, sponsored by the group “ACT for America.”

Not everyone, of course, fears that sharia law will get a foothold in the U.S. The ACLU says the threat is “mythical.” The libertarian website Reason calls it a “bogus threat.” However, the Center for Security Policy, founded by Frank Gaffney, of the Reagan Administration, is alarmed at what it calls “threats to American law.”

But perception counts more than the contemplations of think tanks. Americans were horrified at the carnage that took place in Britain recently. They remember the attacks in Boston, San Bernardino, and Orlando. And they’re angry when Muslim activists play the victim card and demand accommodations, like their very own “safe spaces.”

You get a safe space, and you get a safe space! Everybody gets a safe space!

So because many Americans were alarmed at events in Europe and here at home, they joined various “March Against Sharia” rallies held in places like New York, Chicago, and San Bernardino, among others. There were counter protests, too, and as you might expect, things didn’t work out too well. The far-left ‘Antifa’ showed up, and you can guess the rest.
