Newt Gingrich: Shariah Law is a Threat to U.S. and World

On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has stated that Shariah law "is a mortal threat to the survival of freedom in the United States and in the world as we know it." 

The rhetoric used by Gingrich is grandiose, and very broad. 

Do you think that this rhetoric is being appropriately used in regards to Shariah law?
