The anti-Islam memes and posts you see everywhere are not grassroots. It's a billionaire-funded campaign. Bipartisan. And it's costing you decent healthcare, housing, schools, and roads.

What they don't want you to know: The same bad actors pushing anti-Sharia bills are the real religious extremists - hiding a sinister agenda.

So what is Sharia, literally and spiritually? Not at all what they say. The truth is a revelation.

And what's the play? Why does banning "Sharia" serve billionaires while bankrupting everyone else?
The reason is as illiterate and medieval as the dark ages it came from.

Sharia Law is barbaric and includes cutting off people's hands, the death penalty for blasphemy, husbands being allowed to beat their wives, women being treated as sex slaves, rape victims being stoned, female genital mutilation, child marriage, and all other many of vile practises.

It is an evil ideology that has no place in the modern world.

You tell ‘em 

muzzies , schizzies, and aspies are all potentially problematic 



I guess you both didn't even watch the video. Continue to be happily brain washed.

Religious extremism is a bad thing, no matter what religion. Yet using religion to stoke up stoke up hatred is just as bad. Btw I'm an 'aspie', not sure what you're trying to say with "muzzies, schizzies, and aspies are all potentially problematic" or maybe you don't know what aspie means?



I am too and yet I talk all kinds of smack, not schizophrenic or Muslim though. It’s like how black people have the right to call themselves the N word with the hard R all the time and take full advantage of that.



Indonesia is 87% Muslim and this is the evil that comes from a nation having such a dominant religion.

The woman collapses after getting lashed 100 times for adultery.

I think it's generally best not to engage with him. I'm pretty sure he started this thread right after a ban of his expired after a distasteful joke regarding muslims.

Just a bit of context for you (can't be bothered to fact check a reddit news story, but AI says it's coming from Aceh)

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia to implement Sharia law, granting it special autonomy.

Aceh population 5.55 million
Indonesia population 287 million
Indonesia Muslim population 243 million

There would be no Sharia law in any nation if the religion weren’t so dominant in the first place. You could make a similar argument for the Christian practice of burning witches. The fact that people try to say that others can’t be or behave a certain way, or hold certain beliefs is intolerable.

There would still be people getting beaten, tortured, killed for being different. It doesn't come from religion, religion comes from people. 

"The fact that people try to say that others can’t be or behave a certain way, or hold certain beliefs is intolerable."
Fully agreed, but change starts at home, not by pointing fingers at outliers far away. That only encourages hatred while overlooking problems you can make a change in. Pointing fingers doesn't solve anything.

Change should occur all over the world, not just at home. 
That’s an incredible amount of weakness that I’m reading.  People would be killed for being different? It seems like the only intolerance that we have for being different is the lbgtq community. 

I know of no other groups that are persecuted nowadays. And if the hatred doesn’t ultimately come from religion, where would it originate then? I mean, religion has been the only thing that has told us that gay people are wrong. 
I live in the Bible Belt and acceptance is getting better but we have a long way to go unfortunately. 

Finally, i'll simply say that people are people and whether I criticize someone in my own nation or another doesn't matter.  But I understand if your morals make you think differently, and that is just fine.
