Eric Holder does not enforce Sharia Law. As an officer of the US Federal government, specifically the Attorney General, he enforces US Federal Law. However, there are those who like to equate any laws, statements, or ideas that they do not like with Shari'a regardless of whether those laws, statements, or ideas have any actual connection to Shari'a or not. Specifically in this case, Eric Holder issued a statement (not a verdict or indictment of any person) urging people not to use social media to spread inflammatory messages about Islam or Muslims. He did not suggest in any way that any American should be legally compelled to be that way, but just to be careful to not offend people.
