Our Founders warned that we must be ever vigilent and aware to protect and defend freedoms that we too often take for granted. We must be aware that there are well intentioned people in the world who do not agree with our freedoms and who would deny them to us given the chance. We must not capitulate our unalienable rights out of some mushy sense of tolerance or political correctness.
We must not give in to the self comforting but false assurance that 'it couldn't happen here." I can no longer count the cultural shifts that have happened in my lifetime that I once thought the American people would never stand for that.
In Europe and Africa and Asia, we are already watching Sharia Law gradually take hold.
Some of the following links are decidedly biased, but the information provided is very difficult to dispute. It happens again and again that as the Muslim population increases, it will demand more accommodation. And no country that becomes predominantly Muslim recognizes unalienable or human rights or allows a lot of personal freedoms.

1%
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country it will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone
.
Here is where it becomes interesting. Note throughout the exponential scale of Islamic influence as the percentage of Muslim population per country increases.
2% and 3%
At 2% and 3% they [Muslims] begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
From 5% on
From 5% on they [Muslims] exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply (United States).
At this point, they [Muslims] will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, or Islamic law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
African nations that are not yet Muslim are under particular pressure to accommodate Sharia Law:
And according to a Pew Report, the numbers will change in North America over the next couple of decades and, if the trends hold true, so will the pressures to accommodate Sharia Law.
The Muslim population in the United States is projected to more than double in the next 20 years, from nearly 2.6 million in 2010 to about 6.2 million in 2030, in large part because of immigration and higher-than-average fertility among Muslims.
Within two decades, the United States is expected to have the 43rd largest Muslim population in the world (in absolute numbers), up from 55th place in 2010. By 2030, the U.S. is projected to have a larger number of Muslims than any European country other than Russia (which is expected to have 19 million Muslims by 2030) and France (which is expected to have 6.9 million Muslims in 2030). By comparison, the United Kingdom and Germany are each projected to have nearly 5.6 million Muslims in 2030.
