You know what always bothers me most about the people who think Sharia Law will spread across the country ? They tend to make it about woman in order to appeal to liberals I guess and they also tend to be the people who vote for restricting access to birth control as if it's not the single greatest way to empower women.

Like if you don't want Sharia Law wouldn't you want to empower women since the two kind of don't go together well ?

Only if it were actually about stopping Sharia.

Pretty much, it's about being racist without admiting it.

I personally think racism is more a symptom, the same way drinking too much is a symptom of alcoholism.
