They have Sharia law in England and I'm pretty sure its an alternative to the legal system for non-criminal issues and its only applicable if both parties give consent. So long as it doesn't go against the laws of the parent country and it has the previous descriptions, I'd be completely ok with it, just like how there are rabbinical courts for Orthodox Jews.
You're right. They do have Shariah law in England and it is kinda an alternative to the legal system for small cases... but, I believe there should be one law of the land and all persons within that land should have to follow it. There shouldn't be any exclusions, in any circumstance, based on race, religion, gender, etc. All people should follow the same due process. Since you bring up groups like the Beth Din in America -- I disagree with that, as well. In America, we should not have multiple systems of law that are specific to people of a certain religion... especially when the law in that secondary court handles State affairs like divorce. The issue isn't wholly the want to establish Shariah law in America... it's the want to establish a Caliphate in America. Under a Caliphate, the US Constitution (and all out freedoms as we know it) would not matter as Shariah Law would be the new Constitution.
I'm not worried about the brownskins taking over my country because, as you said, it's not going to happen... but I'm also not going to hate on people for protesting the brownskins that
want to take over my county. You, on the other hand, are hating on the protesters because the CAIR video said they were members of the Tea Party or Right Wing... and this judgement was passed before you even looked into why they were protesting. Again, this proves that your hate is no different than theirs.

Arguing they [Muslim Brotherhood] are illegitimate because of their views on women is no more logical than arguing against the Mormons or Protestants' right to do as they please despite their even less rational and more destructive philosophical views... ...Drawing a connection between the Muslim Brotherhood and modern-day Arab terrorists is a fallacy because they have no historical, organizational, or political connection
As I stated earlier, my concern with the Muslim Brotherhood is their desire to re-establish a Caliphate. Other concerns? For starters, the Muslim Brotherhood is the largest Muslim group there is. Secondly, they have a lot of influence and power over groups like the ICNA and MSA, even going so far as to publicly support the ICNA and MSA, despite the ICNA and MSA having a history of allowing racists, homophobes and anti-Semites speak at their meetings. Thirdly, the Muslim Brotherhood has spawned terrorists like Ayman al-Zawahiri; it's unclear if his terror mindset was cultivated by the MB. Still, the MB has supported Hamas and Al Qaeda with financial and logistical means,
according to a write-up at the Council of Foreign Relations. According to the CFR and al-Zawahiri's Wiki, as well as other sources I have in the office, there are connections between the Muslim Brotherhood and modern Islamic terrorists.

The Muslim Brotherhood, unlike modern Arab terrorists, had no agenda outside the American political system and the civil rights movement. You say this person associated with them 40 years ago. Well, a lot of people who are today part of mainstream society did, and they did it because they believed the Muslim Brotherhood's approach was their best bet for winning civil rights. Of course, that was 40 years ago and not comparable to the nature of the obsolete organization today. It's the same for the IRA - obsolete revolutionary organizations that refuse to disband once their objectives have been achieved will always slide further into extremism to maintain their integrity as their less-than-insane members reintegrate into mainstream society.
The Muslim Brotherhood has all sorts of Agendas outside and within the United States. I suspect you're confusing the Muslim Brotherhood with the Nation of Islam, which was a racist group that came to be during the civil rights era to which the Imams have a history with. Drawing the connection between the NoI and Wahhaj is integral since, in recent sermons, he's spoken of his affiliation with the NoI and said that he taught other blacks to hate white people.
