Sharia Law and Fundamentalist Christianity

Sharia Law and Fundamentalist Christianity

For a few years, secularists and scholars have claimed Sharia law and fundamentalist Christian tenets are mirror images of one another. We’ve all heard fundamentalist Christians compared to the Taliban, or read articles about the Quiverfull movement or listened, horrified, as Rick Santorum compared homosexuality to bestiality, but I wanted to know more. Are there true similarities, blindingly clear similarities, between Sharia law and fundamental Christianity? Yes.

We’ll begin with homosexuality, because it is here that Sharia law and fundamentalist Christianity truly collide. According to a 2012 article in The Guardian, the Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi-Amoli, an Islamic scholar, stated that homosexuals are inferior to dogs and pigs. Citing the Qur’an, he made the argument for killing homosexuals by hanging. Pastor Curtis Knapp recently said, during a sermon, that the United States government should kill all gay people. Pastor Charles Worley wants to put the LGBT community in concentration camps and let them die out. So, fundamentalist Christian leaders agree with an Islamic scholar, a follower of Sharia law, that all homosexuals should be killed.

We can take this one step further. Michele Bachmann, current congresswoman in Minnesota’s 6th district and former Republican presidential candidate, hired a man named Peter Waldron during her campaign. Peter Waldron has been linked to Martin Ssempa, the Ugandan pastor. Ssempa is the religious arm of Ugandan politician and chief sponsor of the “kill the gays” bill in Uganda, David Bahati. Michele Bachmann herself has called homosexuality “of Satan,” and her husband, Marcus, runs a reparative therapy clinic in Minnesota, allegedly using an odd combination of aversion therapy and prayer to “repair” gay men and women. The Bachmanns are, at the very least, evangelical Christians.

But ignorant Christian evangelical Tea Baggers still try to ban it.

There was a recent case in the US of a Christian zealot who beaded someone for practicing a pagan religion.

You are one, weird, CREEPY mother fucker.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Knee-jerk leftists who indulge in dishonest comparisons of Christianity to Islam are every bit as guilty of fundamentalism as those they decry. Saying stupid things just because other people say stupid things lies at the heart of all fundamentalist viewpoints, and if people think the left is immune to the stuff, I'd say look again.

not exactly------now try to focus-----shariah law can be ok for some
interest groups----for example------adolf hitler would have been utterly
delighted if shariah law could have been imposed thruout the middle east.----
well--of course ---adolf hitler was not considered and even did not consider
himself a PARAGON of Christianity------but Joseph and Magda Goebbels did
so consider themselves.-------I came to understand a lot about shariah law
by reading -----WHITE SUPREMACY LITERATURE (generally white supremacists
did not refer to their literature as NAZI) White supremacists are perfectly
comfortable in a world which includes a CALIPHATE---in which shariah law is
fully imposed. There are lots of people in the world who call themselves
SUPPORTERS OF WORLD MONOTHEISM----who could be utterly delighted
to see the world divided into a CALIPHATE-----and a REICH (keep in mind---
reich is a synonym for "holy roman empire". <<< the one that includes legal
genocide via a legal "INQUISITION")

A real question. Frankly, I haven't seen a post which evens says what it is. Sharia Law is simply law based upon the Qur'an. In a theocracy, that would matter. In a secular society, it is a matter of choice. There is no secular law with prevents an Amish person from driving a car, just their own religious law. There is no secular law which says a Jew can't eat pork, just their own religious law. Every religion has this to some extent. There are any number of laws handed down by God in the Bible which would land anyone in prison here if they actually tried to enforce them.

So rather than pointing to an entire thing, we should be looking at specifics. Otherwise, we might as well say all laws should be rejected because we don't approve of one.
