Batya Ungar-Sargon Defends Islamic Sharia Law, Then Gad Saad Responds

Peloni: This is an important video in which Rabbi Pesach Wolicki examines an exchange between Batya Ungar-Sargon and Gad Saad on the topic of Sharia supremacism.  Take note that Saad argues that he may have more in common with a secular Muslim than he does with an orthodox Jew, which may be a fair point.  What he fails to note however, is whether it is likely that a secular Muslim would actually shout down their Sharia supremacist coreligionists alongside Gad Saad.  Notably, there are some, and leaders such as Mudar Zahran and Zudhi Jasser come to mind as examples of those who routinely do exactly this.  Yet, where are the masses of secular Muslims condemning the rise of Sharia compounds in the US?   We see plenty of Jews in the West condemning what they dislike about their coreligionists, but I honestly don’t recall ever seeing a similar event among the Western Muslim community.  In fact, while non-Muslims are attacked as bigots for making the case against Sharia law, as was the clear inference indicated by Ungar-Sargon against both Saar and the Orthodox Jew in the audience in this video, the real voice which would gain purchase in the West would be from the secular Muslim community, who would likely be quite familiar with the potential consequences of Sharia law being established in the West.  This is why the leadership of Zahran and Jasser is so important, but if it is true that the secular Muslims in the West are as opposed to Sharia as is Saad, they should be the first voices raised in opposition to the attempts of Sharia law to displace the law of the land in Western societies… So why do I only hear so few voices to join that of Zahran and Jasser?  Comments on this topic would be appreciated.
