And good point. But it’s tempting. They scream about how “the other” are gonna come here and impose Sharia Law. Actually it’s already here and its name is Republicanism.

Even calling it "American Sharia Law" would let them pretend it's not something they themselves are doing.

Fucking love your screen name, btw.

I am appalled that a member of this community would suggest such a thing and ashamed for those who agreed and piled on in their replies. Sharia Law is no more than the codified civil code for the Islamic faith. To suggest that it is merely what the minority Muslim extremists have perverted it into, is pejorative to the vast majority of Muslims who live and love peacefully under Sharia Law. Islam actually means peace! You owe it to yourselves and the peace loving Islamic people everywhere to apologize for this fear and hate mongering post; that goes for LearnedHand and all who posted in support of this misguided insulting post. I most vehemently urge you to delete this post as well!
