Shariah law would be stupid idea, because American society is not build for that and one can not force a nation into a system which they will never accept, forget about Shariah you can't even stop American girls from wearing bikinis at beaches.
What @Davey Crockett is saying is not far from the truth. The word Shariah has developed very negative connotations in the West because of propaganda, but there is nothing sinister about it. It’s the body of law that developed in Islamic societies over centuries.
One area where sharia is really effective is in criminal law. It has draconian punishments for crimes like theft, murder etc. The reasoning behind is to deter crime by giving exemplary punishments. In the West soft punishments mean that the law is protecting criminals at the cost of their victims.
In countries where sharia law is applied the crime rate is extremely low compared to Western countries. Family law is another area. Rates of divorce, extra marital sex, and all kinds of deviant behavior are low.
Some of the worst problems in Western societies are related to the breakdown in family values. Any law that reverses that trend would be beneficial.
