Bringing up and using Islamic law (The Sharia) as a comparison point between what this article termed as “Christofascism” is defamatory and ignorant of Islamic law concepts. The writer, ESMÉ PARTRIDGE is trying to paint secular attacks against conservative Christians because of their support of abortion and the possible overturning of Roe Vs. Wade as derogatory as the term “Sharia law” is perceived in American culture. “Sharia law” which is an ignorant term for “Islamic law” is often used as scare tactic by Islamophobic and racist politicians and activists without actually knowing what the term means.
The entry of Islamic law into the discussion of abortion between conservative Christians who stand against it and liberals or secular who support it is racist and Islamophobic. This is because the use of “Sharia law” term is intended capitalize on negative and racist views of Islam instead of sticking to the debate about abortion in its American context.
