With Apologies to Mr. Sondheim

Sha-ri-a 
The most frightening sound I ever heard:
Sharia, Sharia, Sharia, Sharia. . .
All the Islamic threats of the world in a single word . . .
Sharia, Sharia, Sharia, Sharia. . .
Sharia!
I've just seen a law named Sharia,
And if I am insane
The Muslims are to blame.
(Could be).
Sharia!
I've just dissed a law named Sharia,
And therefore I must mention
How wonderful attention
Can be!
Sharia!
Say it loud like the muezzin's braying 
Say it soft and it's almost betraying.
Sharia,
I'll never stop screeching Sharia!
The most frightening word I ever heard. Sha-ri-a.
