What do you think about this news report concerning the spread of Islam in Belgium and the move to implement Sharia law?

Im looking at this and thinking 'What is it these people want?' What is an acceptable basis for modern law?

If Theonomy is to be rejected because
'The calling of the church is not political, but spiritual, and a political calling actually weakens the gospel of Christ by deterring her from her true calling--preaching the gracious gospel of Jesus Christ.
then shouldnt this also apply to any system of civil law? If seeking to positively apply biblical Law is by nature an error then isnt it just as much of an error to claim some other standard should be OR/NOT applied? To put it a third way; If the church cant say God's law is right how can we say any other is wrong?

All systems of religous law are wrong... EXCEPT Sharia Law, of course, which is what we are supposed to believe and which some countries have accepted as true. Theonomy errs in intermixing the world with the Church and like the Dispensationalists, their goal is the Christianization of the world, which is NOT synonymous with 'go ye into all the world and preach the gospel'.
