"Ever wondered what US Culture Wars would look like if the right was Islamic?"
Let's see, to answer that question:
- the sexual revolution of the 60s would have never happened because you'd all have been kept on a tighter leash
- you'd all most likely be lashed or imprisoned for dating in the name of defending "Islamic family values"
- harsher stance on homosexuality
- more censorship
- more religious discrimination against atheists and other non-Muslims
- blasphemy laws
- apostasy laws
- generally more religion into the public sphere (kinda like Malaysia)
- more cruel punishments for thievery and other offenses (chop chop!)
- and refugees would probably be deported back to Saudi Arabia to face blasphemy charges that carry death sentences, you know, like Malaysia did to Hamza Kashgari
- goodbye gender equality
(And of course it goes without saying that they'd take an even more harsher stance on prostitution, drugs, porn, net neutrality, abortion, evolution and stem cell research. Because we know that anything the Christian right-wing nutjobs do, Islamic right can do "better".)
So yeah, if the right was Islamic, I can only say one thing: You'd be fucked.
