I haven’t seen anything here about Alabama being the first state to introduce Sharia law. Reportedly, a bill was introduced that would prohibit a woman getting an abortion without the father’s permission. Given the anti-Islam sentiment in red states, this struck me as odd.

I stand corrected. My post was based on a short news article I had seen a week or so ago. On investigation, I found the story: a man has been given standing to sue his girlfriend (not wife) for having an abortion against his wishes. This is apparently under current Alabama law, which allows such suits. The import, however, is as stated: under this law an unrelated man can legally seek to punish a woman for undergoing a medical procedure against his wishes. If that’s not Sharia in every important principle I don’t know what is.

Do you have any references for your allegation? I can’t find any information about such a bill, but even if so, Introducing a Bill is a long way from instituting Sharia law. I see where such bills were introduced ten years ago in various states.

Who told you that there is anti-Islam sentiment in the “red” states. I’m sure you could find some such sentiment just about anywhere, but that sentiment is not the prevailing view. Does that sentiment define your own red state of Pennsylvania?

Careful with hysterical hyperbole and stereotyping.

Everyone should be anti-Islam AND anti-Christianity.

If everyone were anti-Islam and anti-Christian, there wouldn't be any Islam or Christianity.

the difference is negligible

All Middle East- based religions treat women as property. I'm not surprised to find the Xians at it again. Disappointed, but not surprised.

@jerome4377 confused by your reply

Putting words that do not represent the facts, adds nothing! It starts a train of misinformation!

The shoe seems to fit, though. If it were a Middle-Eastern country, this would be denounced as barbaric. Since it's Alabama, it's "the will of the people".

How is that Sharia law? I'm against it but I can totally see the logic. I wouldn't consider it Sharia law at first glance.

I would think that bill would sit well with the religious right. Right up their alley.

Only if you're a minor.

The more I look at the white nationalists in the Repub party, the more I see them as a mirror of the Islamic extremists, like the Taliban, Al-Queda, and ISIS. Reminds me a lot of what Carl Jung, the great psychologist said about the shadow self, in which individuals end up hating others that represent the other side or shadow of themselves that they are in denial about and can't consciously accept. A lot of spooky stuff that occurs at the unconscious level of the mind....

Which is why I fear these assholes more than the Islamic terrorists as these fucks have power over me and others in this country...

I agree, and with Jung.

Interesting, but I don't think Christian extremists are in quite the kind of denial that Jung was talking about, as you describe it. (I'm not all that familiar with Jung. I'm just going by your post.) The thing that makes it seem to me not to fit is that it's essentially the same behavior that Islamic extremists have, but each think they are in the right; that they are warriors for their god. They don't deny what they are. They embrace it. They would vehemently disagree that anything they do is wrong.

@bingst Where each group fits into Jung's concept is that they are each in denial of how they are the same.

That's because it isn't true. No Sharia Law in Alabama.

However, a judge has given permission for a man to sue the clinic where
a woman he claims to have gotten pregnant, had an abortion.
We'll see how far that one goes.

Lastly, Roy Moore, the pedophile, is considering another run at the
Alabama Senate.

The people most afraid of sharia law being implemented are actually the ones doing it 🙄

It is Alabama. Enough said.

These bills are reflective of the similarity of primitives' needs: the tribe is small, all dicks on deck, women and children first, .....
These issues no longer pertain. 7.5 and growing. The slime mold that is humanity will soon cover the planet. A parasite without limits.

Sharia Law- Evangelical Law, the gulf is diminishing. Pretty soon one won't be able to tell them apart.

the difference will be a whole lot of sandals out front in the foyer or casserole dishes left from the last Fellowship meal.

If you labelled the bill as Sharia law, they would panic and denounce it. But, take the same bill and label it Christian, it would pass in a heartbeat.

Does the bill make an exception for a rape, or incest or for some other reason where the father might not be known?
