    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.
