    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.

            It’s not whataboutism, it’s rhetoric. I’m pointing out that you are picking and choosing.

              Wrong. I responded to the question “what’s so bad about sharia”. I didn’t pick the topic of this thread.

      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.

              I’ve never heard anyone call themselves that before. I probably should have qualified it with something instead of leaving it as a generalization.
