Sorry if you read my words as being "Christian-phobic". I should have been more specific and described those specific sects who call themselves Christian while behaving in very un-Christ like ways.
Yeah, there are some sects or denominations of Christianity that "go off the deep end" if you ask me. I know some will say that is subjective. Maybe so. But is certain some of those sects or denominations have very different views and perceptions of things than myself. Like some of those that militantly support Zionism not because they love Jewish people but because they think it will usher in some apocalypse that will cause the return of Christ.
Depends upon one's definitions I suppose as to whether or not Sharia is Quranic. My point being that there are certain groups who claim to be Christian that would like to impose Biblical law upon our nation, of course each group has it's own definitions as to just what fits their "Biblical laws" category.
Sharia draws from the Quran of course. But what I'm saying is that Sharia is a sophisticated legal system that has been developed by Islamic scholars with backgrounds in Islamic theology and philosophy and probably even jurisprudence. The Christian equivalency of it therefore is Canon Law which likewise is a sophisticated law system. You have to actually obtain a university degree in Canon Law with a prerequisite being you have to JD secular law degree, or an advanced degree in theology I believe. At least for Catholicism.
And I would not say every aspect of Sharia is bad. In fact, historically it had a more well formed out stance against usury than Catholicism did. I'm no expert on Sharia but it would not surprise me if
some aspects of Sharia in some countries had more evolved and "Christian" positions on certain things than modern American Constitutional Law.
Beginning of a Wikipedia article on Canon Law:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_law
Canon law is a set of ordinances and regulations made by ecclesiastical authority (Church leadership), for the government of a Christian organization or church and its members. It is the internal ecclesiastical law, or operational policy, governing the Catholic Church (both the Latin Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches), the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches, and the individual national churches within the Anglican Communion.
Like some guy named Gandhi supposedly said, "I like your Christ, your Christians not so much."
Gandhi is an American hero. He is not my hero. Gandhi was an East Indian Hindu and lawyer that while living in South Africa referred to black South Africans in racist terminology. Essentially, Gandhi was racist, viewed himself as superior to black Africans, and took umbrage at whites in South Africa treating him like he was on par with blacks.
And Hindus have their own issues (the Apostle Thomas was martyred in India in the South of India by Hindus) past and present. So do Muslims in India. Because Western people think all human history after the death of Jesus has only taken place in the Western world, said Western people have little clue that cruelty and injustices have gone on across the Eastern world in say... India, Afghanistan (one a part of India I think), and in Buddhist countries like Vietnam for example. Christian women in the West yap their bimbo mouths about how cruel they have it in Christian Churches and how feminist the Buddhist East is but that is because bimbos rarely know what they are talking about. If say... reincarnation is real then I pray I'm never reborn as a girl in say... Muslim Afghanistan or Buddhist Vietnam. It's better to be a limp wrist, flamboyant homosexual male, in the "Christian West," than it is to be a regular
girl in either Muslim Afghanistan or Buddhist Vietnam.
(I'm enamored with India by the way--you have to accept the bad comes with the good to be found in India too)
So, currently in India:

First priests were attacked while singing carols, now Hindu right wing groups warn schools in Aligarh in UP not to celebrate Christmas.
Part of India's historical past, a movie that is kind of historical fiction about a certain period in India. But the Muslim emperor was supposedly bisexual and cruel and had like over 10,000 or 30,000 people slaughtered in one day in some town or kingdom. He lived during the Western Crusading Era but he was part of the Muslim Conquest of India.
