Summary
For some crazy reason, I can't even begin to fathom, it seems like the newest fad is people from non-Islamic countries trying to normalize Sharia Law. So let's talk about it. Sharia Law isn't some sort of spiritual system that promotes kindness and modesty. It's an Islamic political system that dictates every aspect of your life.

So for some crazy reason I can't even begin to fathom, it seems like the newest fad is people

00:00:05.440
from non-Islamic countries trying to normalize Sharia law. So let's talk about it. Sharia law
1.00
00:00:11.620
isn't some sort of spiritual system that promotes kindness and modesty. Sharia law is an Islamic
00:00:18.120
political system that dictates every aspect of your life, from what you can think, to what you
00:00:23.260
can wear, to what you can eat. Anyone who thinks Sharia is compatible with Western civilization
1.00
00:00:29.080
either has no idea what they're talking about or they're lying to you. For starters, Sharia law
0.97
00:00:35.060
doesn't even believe in equality. Men are treated differently from women and Muslims are treated
0.85
00:00:40.500
differently from non-Muslims or infidels. If you want to understand what Sharia law looks like in
0.99
00:00:46.240
practice, just look at my country of Iran, which has been occupied by the Islamic Republic since
00:00:51.480
1979. Non-Islamic music disappears, women are forced to hide behind cloths, dissent is punishable
00:00:58.280
by death, and joy is pretty much regulated out of existence. Common features of Sharia include
0.96
00:01:04.300
mandatory hijab or dress coats for women, gender segregation, death penalty for leaving Islam,
00:01:11.080
death or strict corporal punishments for blasphemy, flogging or stoning for adultery,
0.85
00:01:17.300
amputation for theft, male guardianship over all unmarried women no matter their age,
0.87
00:01:22.600
women receiving half the inheritance of a man, a woman's testimony is worth only half of a man's
00:01:28.400
testimony in court, criminalization of homosexuality, and severe restrictions on
0.55
00:01:34.500
artistic, political, or social commentary. Does that sound like something that is compatible in
00:01:40.240
any way, shape, or form with Western civilization? Here's a simple rule. If a law requires an Islamic
00:01:47.140
police force to enforce it, that's not a moral code. That's an authoritarian system. Just ask
0.95
00:01:53.760
Iranians having to deal with the Islamic morality police in occupied Iran for the last 47 years.

If you're wondering why Islamists in Western countries are so obsessed with pushing small
00:02:04.900
little Sharia allowances, you know, things like halal-only menus or gender-segregated spaces or
00:02:11.560
small little allowances, it's because Sharia expands gradually. Sharia always starts with
0.85
00:02:18.360
preference, then expectation, and finally enforcement. Ask any Iranian. We've seen this
1.00
00:02:24.800
story before and we know exactly how it ends. And if you're thinking to yourself, that could never
00:02:30.420
happen here. That's exactly what Iranians were saying back in 1978. A year later in 1979, when
00:02:38.220
Islamic Republic took over, women were beaten in the streets for showing their hair, music was
00:02:43.100
outlawed and in fact an entire nation was dragged right back into the 7th century. Societies can
00:02:48.940
collapse into extremism faster than you think. All it takes is apathy and political correctness.
00:02:55.580
Sharia law has no place in western civilization and you need to ban it and nip it in the bud.
