They Hate Sharia, Yet Want Their Own Version

There is a Sharia Free America Caucus in Congress. Founded December 2025. Dedicated to stopping religious law from being imposed on Americans by the state.

And I agree with the principle.

The problem is the exact same political movement raising the alarm about religious law is simultaneously working to impose their own religious law on everybody else. Same shape. Different book.

They fear religious law controlling women's bodies — they are building abortion bans rooted in the theological belief that life begins at conception, a religious position not a scientific one.

They fear the holy book posted as the legal code — they passed laws requiring the Ten Commandments displayed in every public school classroom in America, recently upheld by a federal appeals court.

They fear religion in the schools — they are placing chaplains in public schools, diverting tax dollars to religious institutions, and pushing doctrine-centered curricula.

They fear the merger of faith and state — they are building Christian nationalism, the documented belief that Christianity should be privileged in American law and that real Americans must be a certain kind of Christian.

Bodies. The holy book as law. Religion in the schools. The merger of faith and state. Every single thing they describe as the nightmare of Sharia they are documented, right now, constructing with Christianity.

And a conservative Christian writer defending the movement said it himself — he called what the fringe wanted a Christian version of Sharia law, if you will. Not a critic's description. A defender's admission.

This episode is from a man of faith who reads his Bible and takes it seriously. Which is precisely why he cannot stay quiet about this. Faith mandated by the state is not faith. It is compliance. The entire premise of belief is that it is freely chosen. When you enforce it through government power you have not spread the gospel. You have replaced it with a costume.

Jesus was offered the kingdoms of the world and the power over them in the temptation in the wilderness. He said no. Christian nationalism is accepting exactly what he refused.

You do not get to spend Monday terrified of theocracy and Tuesday building one just because the second one quotes your book. Theocracy is theocracy. The only thing that changes is whose holy book is on the wall when they come for you.

What is your Bible for?

Think for yourself. Now quote me on that.
