Sharia is why separation of church and state is important bro. Not that American Christians are very supportive of separation of church and state, I suppose. I don't think they appreciate the principle, they'd just rather it be their church in charge of the state.
I'm not familiar with institutionalized Christianity, and on the occasion that I do join certain christian groups, I almost always back out due to the lack of proper theological discourse. I do think that if they indeed don't appreciate the principle, that Christians should at least stop wasting time spreading their faith almost "by the sword". I assume you have more experience on what this is like considering how certain parts of America remain religious.
Anyway, Sharia law isn't just a "church", it is also a "state". There are family laws, sure, but there are also guidelines for monitoring habit and communication style. These are problematic and tyrannical when islam starts to model itself in the image of its over-analytical perverted prophet. If you're a practitioner in clinical psychology, you'll be forced to recite Al-Fatihah before any major event and to pay lip service. You can glance at Pakistan and Malaysian websites for an easy tour of this. From time to time, they'll credit Islam for secular inventions in mental health and make it their central thesis.
On appearance, this might seem harmless in the same way your moderate muslim friend says "Alhamdulillah". In reality, however, they are crediting every non-muslim invention to Allah's will, and any contrarian belief that dares itself on a public platform gets tortured/reprimanded/banned depending on how religious the Sunni State is. I don't blame the muslims for living to Allah's guidelines, they are indeed true in their sincere but misguided belief that everything originates from Allah. Lol. There's rarely any hypocrisy between Sunni/Shia Muslims especially if they're observing the religious texts closely. Of that, I can guarantee you as an apostate. It just so happens that they want every level of this adherence at the state level. Because they've centered life around Islam, they're also prone to having mental outbursts and insane conspiracies when met with a state of mind that runs contrary to their own.
This is why Christians hover only at the 1% population mark in Lebanon, and Jews have effectively migrated elsewhere. Sure, the Lebanese dhimmis support Hezbollah but they have already supported islam just like the vast majority of kuffars (easy example of a Kuffar is your average alcoholic muslim friend being hateful about Israel while reciting praises in Muhammad's name) in the US.
I used to watch him all the time. Then one day he went on this long tirade about how liking Batman and Marvel movies is stupid and childish and I was like, "You sir have CROSSED THE LINE. Good DAY sir."
Old people tend to do that. Lol. I don't mind them trying to fit in at all. It's like they have a romanticized idea of youth. I just wish they'd watch it.
