I oppose extremism in government of any kind. When you represent only one side of a situation, you can never fully understand or manage it as a whole.
I also believe anyone not involved in the wearing of burkas and hijabs as a daily part of religious life has no say in this conversation. As a white, Anglo-Saxon American, I can't understand the complexities and nuances of the issue the way people who live this lifestyle can.
This really all comes down to us and them. Whether you're the Taliban, Palestine, American soldiers or Russia. We all simply struggle for control, power and land.
Those who speak so vehemently against all this religious oppression and extremism might take care. Installing Sharia law bears little difference to attempting and overthrow of a legitimate election and a subsequent insurrection when that didn't work. Almost every last one of them will cite Jesus's name and the Bible right after Trump's. They campaign for legislation based on moral and religious objections. They call for policies and consequences of failing to act along those religious lines. They seek to mandate where religious symbolism and text should appear, whether it be on government grounds or in the classroom.
I didn't ask for Sharia law and I haven't asked for evangelical law. Live and let live.

@blackdude So then, you can't outline for me the concept of church and state.
School curriculums are "force-fed" to children highlighting creationism and in cities, counties and states across this country there are mandates for introductory prayer, mottos and printed material. The 10 Commandments and other Christian symbolism stands in the public areas of legal and government. Public officials are overwhelmingly Christian and protests break out when there's an exception. Legislation is based on purely religious Christian principles and medical decisions may sometimes be dictated by an overwhelming Christian desire to treat others badly.
Are we Sharia in the US under any religion? No, nor did I say we were. I was addressing those who condemn religious leadership while at the same time demanding it under a different banner.
What I wasn't doing was speaking to the ill informed.
