Of course in the People's Republic of New York Muslims loony tunes had already established their religious "police". Bout 5 years ago.
Between 2003 and 2006, there was a pretty vigorous debate in Ontario, about allowing Shariah alongside Ontario's Arbitration Act. In fact, Ontario had been permitting Catholic and Jewish tribunals to arbitrate family disputes according to their religious precepts.
I admit I was adamantly opposed to this, even though a fomer Ontario Attorney General had written a report, after being asked to examine how the Arbitration Act was performing, which recommended permitting Shariah law in those arbitrations, alongside the Jewish and Catholic ones. And as it turned out, Ontario's population were also hugely opposed, largely because they saw that women were not treated fairly by Shariah. Their testimony was undervalued compared to a man's. Censure was much more harsh against women than against men.
Homa Arjomand, an Iranian who organised International Campaign Against Sharia Court in Canada, argued that the recommendations would push back Canadian law by 1,400 years. "Our lawyers are studying the decisions of several arbitration cases and will bring them to court and expose how women are victimised by male-dominated legal decisions based on 6th-century religion and traditions."
The debate ended, finally, with Ontario's then-Premier Dalton McGuinty, not only disallowing Shariah to be used thus, but also banning the Catholic and Jewish tribunals.
And I think that was a good result.

Referring to that extreme right MAGA propaganda outlet OAN is totally not convincing.

Dosent make a lick of difference. This actually happened.
Cars driving around happened in 2019. Christians groups and others panicked. That OAN report sought to up the fear and panic by building the panic making it seem like an international conspiracy with no evidence. As I wrote before, OAN is not an outlet for real news.
Their website Muslim Community Patrol & Services has not been updated since 2019. These numbers speak for themselves

You need to pay attention. I mentioned this happened about 5 years ago based on the time stamp of the upload. I never mentioned anything about it presently.

The implication was that it was news given the tense of the OP not history, OAN, was as I wrote. Also, I'm old enough to have lived through the Black Panther Party so I'm used to a tiny minority trying to set up shop and grow.
Again I'm much more concerned about the Trump Cult and Christian Dominionists given the far right SCOTUS and the upcoming election.

While I think it could possibly turn into a concern in certain situations or maybe areas, I don’t personally have concerns about it at this point.

As the young woman who was raised in an Islamic country under Sharia law, pointed out in the video, where Sharia law is the rule anyone can be executed, by anyone, for not converting to Islam or for leaving it.

I am opposed to Christian Dominionism also, but I don’t think it includes or allows for executing those who who don’t participate in that belief.

Not really. The danger here in the US is not Taliban style Islam, but Christian Nationalism.Do you have any concerns about fundamental Sharia law being implemented in your country or area?

Not really. However, I do have concerns about fundamentalist Christian laws being implemented in parts of the country. For instance: Louisiana Legislature approves bill to classify abortion pills as controlled dangerous substancesDo you have any concerns about fundamental Sharia law being implemented in your country or area?
