Neck of the woods
“I summarized, for Schmitz’s edification, the liberty-crushing, dehumanizing nature of Sharia: open-ended jihadism to subjugate the world to a totalitarian Islamic order; rejection of bedrock Western liberties — including freedom of conscience and speech — enforced by imprisonment, beating, or death; discriminatory relegation of non-Muslims to outcast, vulnerable pariahs, and even Muslim women to subservient chattel; and barbaric punishments which violate human dignity, such as amputation for theft, stoning for adultery, and lashing for alcohol consumption. Refusing to acknowledge Sharia’s ugly, living essence, Schmitz instead made a factually challenged, immoral equivalence between totalitarian Islamic law — a form of state governance — and modern Church canon law, which is deliberately confined to religious affairs, even glibly asserting: “Surely Catholics would love to see canon law cover the globe.”…………..”

These people, these fascists, always forget history, their history. They forget how the West invaded Muslim lands in Asia and Africa and occupied them for hundreds of years by force. How they captured millions of African Muslims and hauled them across the world into slavery. Not just Muslim lands: how they forcefully converted natives of Central and South America to their own distorted “violently un-Christian” version of Christianity. Of course it is usually basically a combination of ignorance and racism (the two are co-related). Sometimes it is just old-fashioned political fear-mongering, in the tried and true fascist-style.
Even today, Muslim lands in Asia and parts of Africa are awash in Western forces, warplanes, warships, and tanks. Muslims are not fighting wars in the West (except for an occasional Salafi terrorist fringe), but Western states are invading and waging war in Muslim lands. They are already planning the next war or tow on Iran and Syria.
