Shariah Law is a danger to Democracy

Last weekend I read the article "Shariah Law is the enemy, not Afghanistan" by Diana West. I found it interesting enough to create a link to the article which you can find in the "pertinent articles"section of this blog.
Ms. West's premise, to which I agree, is that the mission in Afghanistan is pointless. We are not and should not be fighting a war to instill democracy in Afghanistan any more than we should have been fighting a war for democracy in Iraq. Afghanistan and Iraq are not "Wars against Terrorism". The "War against Terrorism" is a war, not against a specific country or a specific leader, but against a culture and the culture is one of Shariah Law.
We as a country must understand that we need to protect our shores from the creeping tenacles of a culture which is intent on destroying our way of life in favor of their regressive autocracy.
Until we stop allowing the infiltration of the Shariah advocates, our American form of government, a constitutional Republic, will continue to fade at an ever increasing rate.
