    I’m sorry, I didn’t know we lived under Sharia Law.

      It’s hilarious and ironic that Christian nationalists hate sharia law whilst wanting their own brand enacted.

        They don’t hate sharia law because it’s abhorrent. They hate sharia law because it’s not Christian based.

          But the differences are slight. Maybe won’t go as far down the oppression of women rabbit hole, but not for lack of trying. Merely because, I hope, our society is to far past that for them to drag us back that far.

                Iran. Even if the British and American interference was abhorrent, an Islamic Fascist state wasn’t the only alternative they had.

                Putting all the agency (and therefore responsibility) in imperial powers is also a form of imperialism.

                Iran caused that revolution. They were fed up with a leader seen as a western puppet so they replaced him with religious extremist.

            Everyone says “that’ll never happen” and then it does.

            Inaction means suffering. Apathy is death.

      Tomayto/tomahto, sharia/christo-fascist. Different pronunciations of the same thing.

        We aren’t speaking Arabian. It’s like “naan bread”, sure, naan means bread but not in this language and we’ve lots of other breadsIf you just say Rye a Canadian will hand you a glass of whisky not a loaf of bread.

          The language is called Arabic, but otherwise agree

          That’s still a bad example. We don’t say that “I drive a XYZ car” since car is implied and we can just say “I drive a XYZ

          Check with any XYZ standing for a manufacturer like Toyota, Tesla or a model like Corolla, 911, etc.

          If there’s enough understanding of the concept, no need for clarification. Everyone knows naan is a bread. Unless you are asking a question in Japanese, just drop the bread (and law for Sharia)
