    The Danish paper is a secular paper from a European country with a small minority muslim population. Yet, the muslim world feels this, and all other newspapers, are obligated to follow the laws of the Quran. In other words, in the muslim mind, we are all ALREADY under Sharia, regardless of whether we're muslims or not. Interesting perspective, I wonder what else I do, or do not do, on a daily basis that an Imam in Amman would take offense to and force me to stop, given the chance.
