As an estate planning attorney in Orange County, California, I must spend a great deal of extra time to accommodate Muslim clients' Shariah-compliant intentions within a community property system.  I totally understand the article's point that Shariah law and practices are spreading faster and more pervasively than many Americans realize, and few Americans understand the consequences.

[The estate planning requirements of Shariah are very exact and particular.  For example, every male child must get the equivalent of two female shares.  A freely-disposable one-third may be used to equalize, but Shiite authorities are more accepting of this equalizing scheme than Sunni authorities.  As for surviving spouses, females are generally limited to only a one-eighth share (and even this must be shared if there are multiple wives).]

Washington Times – GAFFNEY: Uncle Shariah.

contends that: "The Shariah-based Islamic religious practices and activities that the government-owned AIG engages in – activities that are funded and financially supported by American taxpayers, including Plaintiff, who is forced to contribute to them – are antithetical to our Nation's values, customs, and traditions with regard to religious liberty, religious tolerance, and the proscriptions of the First Amendment. These government-funded activities not only convey a message of disfavor of and hostility toward Christians, Jews, and those who do not follow or abide by Islamic law based on the Quran or the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed, but they also embody actual commercial practices which are pervasively sectarian and which disfavor Christians, Jews, and other 'infidels,' including Americans."
