2. INTRODUCTION
 A consultant focusing on security solutions, John
Guandolo gained vital security experience while in
combat as member of the United States Marine Corps
during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In
recent years, John Guandolo has focused on
understanding the goals of terrorist organizations and has
co-authored a book about their intentions to establish
Shariah law in the United States.
The word “Shariah” is Arabic for “path,” and for many
Muslims, Shariah law, as it was codified following the
death of the Prophet Mohammed, serves as a “path”
regarding proper conduct related to matters ranging from
family life to religious practice. Sharia is rooted in
teachings outlined in the Quran, the holy book of Islam.

3. SHARIA LAW
 In Sharia law, actions like adultery or theft
bring with them serious penalties, including
execution. While not all Arab countries
employ Shariah law, a 2013 Pew poll
undertaken in 39 Arab countries revealed
that many people favored the incorporation
of Islamic tenets into politics.
