Actualy who's country is this?

I think I have a nice topic of debate here. Over here in The Netherlands, somehow the subject of introducing the Muslim law Sharia if the public wishes too do so. Because, after all, we are a democracy. While this is probably never going to happen, just that something like this is even proposed or thought about is enough to severely piss me off. The argument brought on was the following:
When more then 2/3 of the Dutch population want the Sharia to be implemented in Dutch law, there shouldn't be any problem in doing so.

First off, the moment that 2/3 of my country's population excists of forgeiners, I'm going to move! Not because I hate foreigners by definition, but because of the bullshit they bring along with them. Pretty much all of our foreign citizens are muslim, and with The Netherlands being a christian founded country, religion starts to clash all over the place, and now they are concidering a scenario where the Sharia is implemented in our law? What kind of bullshit is this?
It is in my opinion that if people migrate to a new country, they better damn well try their best to fit in! They need to adjust to our standards, not the other way around! I'm all for freedom of religion (as long as its not jammed up my nose, obviously) but when a country is going to revise it's laws to meet demands of people who should be lucky to be allowed to live here in the first place, something is very much wrong.

So, topic of debate: Should a country change laws to satisfy demand from foreigners, or should a country always keep it's founding morals and laws and demand that foreign citizens adapt to these morals and laws? Discuss!
