Good for the Australians.

The difference between Sharia law, and someone not serving me because they don't like what I'm buying, is the difference between law and force on one hand, and personal choice on the other. If someone doesn't serve me, they make their own choice. Maybe one I'd be annoyed about, but not one that applies force and control over me.

CANBERRA: Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks

Crazy! Sharia law is not radicalism. Its not even law in the way we think of law:

"Also, calling the Sharia 'law' can be misleading, as Sharia extends beyond law. Sharia is the totality of religious, political, social, domestic and private life. Sharia is primarily meant for all Muslims, but applies to a certain extent also for people living inside a Muslim society. Muslims are not totally bound by the Sharia when they live or travel outside the Muslim world."
