Shariah law comes to America

Incorrect. The term alt left is used to create a false equivalency to the alt right, who call themselves the alt right by their own accord. As such, it doesn't exist.

I mean, it's pretty hard to argue against his point.

OK, I see where I blew it. Sorry.

I "think" some of the heaviest extremism is in the American south, particularly Texas, and one of the Carolinas. I tried to survive in radical Evangelical Christianity for 33 years, but when I got sick, they were unhelpful and merciless. For me, the worst was the "bait and switch" of the Mormons, I'll never fully trust Christians again. Thankfully, I never did disavow Islam, so have just kept being Muslim, one who has some reservations about Jesus the Christ, or Isa PBUH.

Hopefully, someone in Texas will come to their senses ???

You do know that there is only a few very extreme people who wish Sharia law in land that are not muslim? 99.9 % of muslims does not want Sharia

About half of the world's Muslim want Sharia.

If the OP was to state that Coservative Christians is the problem why then use Islam as his target?
I do not support everything in Islam but i start to wonder why everything that goes wrong in this world is blamed on Muslims and Islam.

I am troubled by Christian extremists AND Islam, and I try to place blame as is appropriate.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
About half of the world's Muslim want Sharia.
But "Sharia" is as flexible a construct as, say, "justice", it means different things to different people and in different places. Taking your uncited claimed 50% of Muslims wanting Sharia law as accurate for the sake of argument, that doesn't mean 50% of Muslims want the beheading-people-in-the-streets-for-parking-infractions-and-library-fines strawman version that the Usual Suspects believe it to mean. People wanting Sharia law doesn't necessarily suggest they want it applied to anyone not already a Muslim, either, despite the other strawman myth the Usual Suspects love to put about, that the evil Muslims are trying to impose Sharia on non Muslims in Western countries.

But that's really not the point of the thread, or Stonekettle's tweet. Since so many people seem to be having difficulty, I'll spell it out;

Here's an example of the sort of people who clutch their pearls in a panic and terror at the idea that they are about to have Sharia law imposed on them, trying to implement laws that are at least as bad as anything Sharia law would actually involve.

As usual, I am pointing out hypocrisy. I hope this clarifies the matter for everyone.

I am troubled by Christian extremists AND Islam, and I try to place blame as is appropriate.
See, I've seen you say this before, yet you seem to complain about Islamic extremism a lot more than you do Christian. Indeed, here we have an example of a Christian extremist wanting to kill people based on his religious beliefs, and rather than criticise him, you seem to be jockeying into position to take a swipe at sharia.

That would include the doctor as well. If the bill passes into law which it clearly hasn't yet in the state.
Not even close.

Quote....

"The bill in question, HB896, was filed by Tony Tinderholt (R-Arlington), and says that any living child, from the moment of fertilization, is entitled to the same rights, powers and privileges as any other human child and imposes criminal liability on the mother if the child dies from an abortion".

Criminal liability doesn't always include the death penalty.

It's just more typical alarmist rhetoric being thrown out there in attempts to vilify the GOP as being some kind of Islamic advocate of sharia law. Lol.

Police Again Step in as Texas Lawmaker Halts Abortion Bill

Nope. Still close, as it's still excessive, religious based repression. The right often bellows the loudest about loving liberty, yet they seem to do a ****-poor job of actually trying to protect and uphold it.

Trying to remain calm... I know what Sharia Law is and America has no worries. I came OUT of Conservative Christianity and it was freaky and perverted what they did to me. In the final analysis, it was good that I got to learn about religious extremism from Christians, not Muslims.

'k? So what was the issue with the OP again?

Well, I guess it could also be argued that the rapist should get the death penalty.

In fact, they might even propose a death penalty for everything. Just like that planet in Star Trek TNG where even the smallest violations are punished by death. (The episode ended on a sour note, because they lost their chance to do away with Wesley Crusher right then and there.)

I think the closest thing to an "alt left" would be "SJWs", by which I mean those who have more radical views and use excessive and/or questionable methods and tactics.

A subset of SJWs then.
I'd rather not paint most of them with the actions of the "alt left".

I would consider SJWs "alt left" because they certainly don't represent the average liberal. I would be considered liberal by most and I don't consider myself a SJW. Of course I'm sure many conservatives would, but they consider anyone left of Mussolini "SJW"s, "socialists", etc.
