I have had a leftist actually argue to my face that Sharia Law and the Middle East is very pro-women's rights and in some ways more so than the US...unreal.

Of course, Christians are another matter.

Not who you were talking to, but some leftists will argue for cultural relativism and say that you can't judge a culture or even Sharia Law, etc. I have had a leftist argue to my face that women have as much if not more rights under Sharia then in the US. ALL BS. These same leftists will then freak out if Mitt Romney asked a women's organization for female candidates and then got a binder full of women's resumes so that he can HIRE THEM and GIVE THEM JOBS.

How dare you criticize Sharia Law, you are so backwards and unsophisticated to not buy in to cultural relativism - you can't judge another culture, so we should have no problem transplanting Sharia Law here!
The argument was it is O.K. It seems it isn't eh?

I can even argue that some aspects are less barbaric.

In line with Sharia'a Law, a father cannot be executed for the slaying of either his wife or any of his children.

I believe that no one has the right to take the life of another outside of self defense. Here we might strap him to a bed and inject him with chemicals to kill him. But that's cool, right? Kill em. Kill em. Kill em. We see it here (and elsewhere) all the time. Kill them all.

How anyone can use a broad brush to paint an entire major religion, any religion, is beyond comprehension.

I guess about half the country is " leftist". Can you name just one that advocates for Sharia Law?

First of all, I need to make it clear that I have very liberal ideals in me.

I don't think Sharia Law will ever become law of the land. That said, what many conservatives as well as myself are afraid of is the PC culture these days on the issue of Islam. The ultra-conservatives of Islam have taken over most of it. Unlike in the US where our religious nuts are loud but hold little power, their religious nuts actually hold all the power.

It really doesn't help when any criticism of what Muslims do is met with fervent defense by the PC police.

Why can't we criticize people who do bad things in the name of Islam? Why can't we criticize Islam?

In this specific case, we're not talking about some fringe group or ISIS here. We're talking about the mainstream court of law in a major country in the Middle East here.

And I'm willing to bet 100% of what I have that following my post will draw very angry PC people who think it is a forbidden subject for me to say that I'm scared more of Islamic conservatives than Christian conservatives. At least we have our conservatives tight in a leash. Their conservatives have made it the norm to execute gay people and made honor killing law of the land.

Islam is not a religion of peace like they want us to think.
