A Boring Dystopia

But his a good Christian paedophile

Sharia is already prohibited…

The various ideological tenants of the law aren't prohibited. If a county wants to declare itself "dry" and refuse to issue alcohol sales permits, for instance, there's no real state or federal guarantee against it. The fact that the people passing the law are doing so in the name of an Islamic faith rather than a Christian faith or a secular commitment to sobriety doesn't normally play into the rule's legality.

Lest you think I’m advocating for sharia law, I’m not.

I don't think people writing or voting on this legislation really know anything about Islamic religious teachings or legal codes.

If someone in a city council tried to cap the interest rate local creditors could charge, based on their opposition to the concept of usury, I doubt a lay Texan would key in on this being an aspect of Islamic fundamentalism unless some AM Talk Radio host or Joe Rogan affiliated podcaster mentioned it. If a local school district passed an ordinance protecting transgender athletes from discrimination, how many people might trace this back to The Prophet's positive attitudes toward mukhannathun or Ayatollah Khomeini and Al-Azhar's fatwas explicitly permitting reassignment surgery... unless a conservative pundit explicitly brought it up.

“christian law” would be effectively the same thing

There was a whole Thirty Years War suggesting the definition of "Christian Law" is not so well-defined. But, again, I think there's a very limited understanding of historical religious strictures across every faith. People tend to only know what they're told of, within the context of the speaker delivering the message.

What you'd consider a normal Evangelical religious edict might fly directly in the face of a traditional Catholic or Eastern Orthodox legal code.

Islamic Laws stray even farther, depending on which Islamic community you're coming from (Indonesians can hold very different social morals than Nigerians or Turks)

Always has been.

I'd consider this a Christofascist law.

Interesting how they don’t mention it, right? Male circumcision is standard in Islam, it should be on the list. Anything to avoid addressing the genital mutilation elephant already in the room.

It's still shocking to me how most Americans consider genital mutilation a normal thing. My European mind can't comprehend.

Thank you for mentioning this. I don't even have that set of equipment, and it boggles my mind that this is normal and acceptable to anyone. Even using religion as a reason just seems ridiculous. Why the hell would you ever cause that much physical pain to a child for a cosmetic procedure?

"Oh, they're transing the kids!" Fucker, you asked your doctor to cut off part of your son's junk before he even developed the capacity to lift his own head. Shut the fuck up.

Well according to us (muslims) its send by same god soooo thats why maybe ?

Seriously I was waiting for the punch line at the bottom, "... Just like Christian Nationalists"

The dem ones are at least somewhat sane

A lot of this is a tacit attempt to control Muslim municipal populations be restricting how they govern themselves locally.

So you can step in at the state (maybe federal, if Chip Roy gets his way) level and announce this mayor or judge or city council is illegitimate because the leadership isn't Christian.

Very specifically, this is in response to EPIC City, a master-planned community north of Dallas that's being bankrolled by a group of Muslim real estate developers. But you can see it echoing the disgust conservatives have for Minneapolis and Dearborn, Michigan, with their own large Muslim populations.
