Where is this Sharia law in the UK and Sweden?

The people in the thread don't even know what that means. It just means to practice the morals of their religion. I've had it explained to me that when they don't eat pork, or drink alcohol, or help a neighbor they are "practicing Sharia law".

It's not literal legislation as people often take it.

Which doesn't surprise me. People are afraid of what they don't understand.

Oppressive laws passed "in the name of religion" that reflect the specific cultural of a select few nations, which happen to be Islam, does not represent Islam as a whole. It's a fine point that a lot of people don't understand. With how vocal western Muslims I've met be against the behavior that is often feared here, there's literally zero chance of it ever getting a "foothold."

It's certainly an issue, but to consider it a legitimate threat in a place like the U.S. is a bit out of touch. That's like thinking we'll suddenly get a communist president next election.
