      Voters from the Great State of Minnesota, Vote for @doug_wardlow . I’m a Georgia resident. I’ve been following your Elections. You have a beautiful state. Take time to investigate @IlhanMN ,@RashidaTlaib #Sharia Don’t elect this way of life! Thank you

      You've commented on the right thread because @doug_wardlow definitely welcomes your anti-Muslim bigotry, but those of us who believe in Minnesota community don't want his. Vote for Keith Ellison @EllisonCampaign for #MNAG (& the wonderful @IlhanMN too, if you can).

      It’s okay to call me out anti-Muslim bigotry. It’s not who I am though. I do believe that all Ppl have freedom of speech and religion. I don’t believe in #FGM , #ShariaLaw . That is not what the United States was founded on. Hey, thank you for the discussion

      Sharia law is a mix of Muslim religious and secular canon law, it’s not a conspiracy. Having Muslims in office doesn’t make the US somehow likely to adopt features of it into its own law code.

      Countries that use sharia mostly or entirely: Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Brunei, Qatar, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan and Mauritania. A feature of these countries is a majority Muslim pop. The Muslim pop of the US is about 1%. It isn’t happening here.

      Read some of @lsarsour tweets and comments. She’s trying to convince liberals the sharia is better. People like you that refuse to believe without investigating first? If Muslims gain political power it will happen

      As a public figure and activist, she pushes back against the demonization of Islam and also the superiority many non-Muslims feel towards Muslims. Arguing that Sharia is better in this or that way, compared to a failing of the US is one way of doing that. No investigation needed.

      The person who tweeted re: female circumcision blocked me, I think, but: Neither Sharia nor the Quran mentions or calls for female genital mutilation. It predates Islam, surviving as a cultural custom in some countries that Islam entered.

          It’s cultural and religious. Some Muslim scholars do say that the practice is Islamic.

          There are Muslims scholars against FGM, too. Like a lot of things, there is a range of thought.

          Yes, context-wise (I forget if all this is in one thread or if the current tweet is on a sub-sub-thread) but this started w/ me arguing that people shouldn’t worry that electing Muslims will bring on Sharia law & eventually morphed into ‘Sharia law doesn’t entail FGM’.

          Interpretations of Sharia vary, though. There’s at least one school of jurisprudence recommending FGM.

          Replying to @sydrasmith @aleycat62 and

          Does this seem accurate? “Shafi'i school of Islamic thought considers FGM to be obligatory. While the Hanbali, Maliki & Hanafi school of Islamic laws consider FGM to be recommended (or preferred). Altho, relig. views... influenced the practice of FGM, it ... predates Islam.”
