    I get it. Sharia law allows for women to divorce their husbands and to seek abortions. It’s not conservative enough.

    I think organized religion is shitty but I still cringe at anti-shariah rhetoric.

    Every western politician, journalist, and content creator I seen uses the word wrong in a way that shows they don’t know what it is.

    Imagine we had anti-chinese politicians shouting “I will remove the Tao law from US.” What the fuck does that even mean??

    They don’t even understand it. Sharia Law was an advancement for humanity, first implementing the idea of juris prudence. The Normans saw this and imported it from their conquest of Sicily to their conquest of Britain, which then became the foundation of British Common Law, which is the foundation of our own justice system today.

      OK. But it’s not an advancement for humanity today so I don’t really understand how that’s relevant here.

      I mean the fearmongering around it is stupid because it’s not a thing that’s going to happen in the US. But Sharia is in fact bad.

          Worse, because they actually have influence and xtians are not yet a minority, even if their numbers are dwindling.

        What exactly is so bad? Our own justice system has incarcerated more people than any other nation, all based on legalized slavery through the 13th Amendment.

        Who are you to act superior?

          The killing mostly? Death for leaving Islam, death for adultry, etc. Btw the US system being shit is not a defense of sharia.

            Except it statistically doesn’t really exist.

            I get it. I’m an atheist. Not cool.

            But I also see this as an ignorant and bigoted pretext from people who enslave entire Muslim nations to their will.

            These same Republicans will trip over themselves to arm nations that actually pull this shit, all while spreading blood libel about immigrants fleeing from these nations.

            But yeah, Creeping Sharia is coming for YOU!

            Dumbass.

              Who said anything about creeping sharia? Don’t put words in my mouth, nobody with any brains is worried about sharia in the US. But no, honor killings are fake news, you’re so right!

                  Again with the whataboutism. Obviously that’s also wrong, and it is also obviously not a defense for sharia.

              sorry dude, people get all edgy on these topics. it happens to those who have never confronted their own biases and are unaware of them.

                People who capitalize the word “atheist” and make it their entire identity always seem to be massive islamaphobes. When Richard Dawkins said he was a “Cultural Christian” I threw up a little in my mouth.

                  Yeah. A hard core atheist is no different than a tankie, evangelical, angry vegan, sovereign citizen or PETA activist. There are people who never develop an identity and take on an external locus instead.
