What's the difference between people who want Sharia law and what some want to do with allowing Religion to invade the Constitution?

Question

So I was thinking about it and found that while many who are religious are amazing people. Many also want the separation of church and state to become non existent. Specifically in the US many quote The Bible as means to say that a law is immoral, such as abortion, gay marriage, etc. So at this point I began to wonder how is this any different than what Sharian Law is which by definition is "religious law forming part of the Islamic tradition." So now I know people will start saying "But Sharian Law is horrific because of all the brutal punishments etc!" Which I'd like to respond with, have you read the Bible? So I feel like this might be a great discussion to have on CC. What are your thoughts?

EDIT: I am not for Sharia Law, now was I implying anyone was trying to implement it in the US. However I was pointing out the hypocrisy of those who use the Bible as a reason to keep certain laws from being set in place or to shame other from exercising their 14th Amendment right (amendment that protects abortion). This was in NO WAY me saying I'm for church and state being joined.

Accepted Answer

There isn't a difference. Religion ruling a country should not happen in the USA.

Answer

As a Muslim let me assure you, aside from the Saudi government, majority don't believe in the punishments highlighted in our holy books. Btw the Quran is a continuation of the Torah and the Bible. All the stories and everything is same. Except we have additional chapters with the stories of prophet Muhammad pbuh. 
For modern Muslims, Sharia law is a simple list of commandments such as rules on marriage and divorce. Rules on what's permissible to eat, the way we are supposed to do banking (Muslims are not allowed to give or take interest). Although it's hard to avoid it in today's world. This is a prime example. The Sharia law has basically been so watered down at this point that most practicing Muslims don't even know the entire contents of it. Majority of Muslims are only taught simple things such as be friends with good people, stay in touch with family and neighbors, give charity (this one is mandatory, without which our prayers are not accepted), wash ourselves after going to the restroom, eat with the right hand, and even as specific as keeping our pubic and underarm hair trimmed. It is considered offensive in Islam to have a bad breath and to go out smelling stinky. If someone is offended by that, it is considered a sin for us. That's why you will always find Muslims bathed in perfumes and colognes. Lol that aside, these are the kind of rules majority today think are included in Sharia law. 
Fox news has really done a number on Americans scaring them from a list of household rules.

Now in response to your question, I do think that there should be separation of church and state, and that religion should be a private thing. And the people who think Muslims want to impose Sharia law,, Islam commands us to live by the rules of our country. Nowhere does it say to go out and change a country lol

Answer

I'd prefer both be kept out of my government. The Christian religious right is far more of a threat currently though.

Answer

I'm a Catholic and I completely agree with keeping Church and state separate. I can follow my own beliefs without it being turned into a law. I personally wouldn't want to be forced to follow religious laws (I lived overseas as a kid and I had to follow rules I didn't agree with religiously) so why should my religion rule over someone else? We have too many religions in one country in today's society to incorporate everyone's rules and beliefs without having contradictions. I believe that we have state laws and if you do chose to follow a religion then follow that too (as long as your religion doesn't go against the state law- for example if a religion told you to kill people then you should abide by the law of the land, but if your religion tells you to go to church every Sunday or to cover your hair, etc then go right ahead and do that).

Answer

From what I've read about Shariah law, at its core, is supposed to be a personal relationship with God. The tenets that rule it are supposed used to help guide your daily life and there is no religious coercion in the law. So, you can't (or shouldn't) force it onto others. Those countries that punish in the name of Shariah law are not really following the basics of it. Just like radical Christians who discriminate and kill in the name of religion. The world's perception of Shariah law is not truly what it is.

Answer

Why are Americans so concerned about sharia? Just curious. Countries need to keep religion and law separate and stop the media causing such hate, especially towards those who follow Islam at the moment!

Answer

Well I'll just answer how my mom would answer lol. She would say that the United States was founded on Christian values (🙄) and so we should keep Christianity in the homes and schools of America.

Answer

There's no difference. None.

Answer

There's no difference between wanting one or the other to rule our government. Neither should; religion should be kept out of it.

Answer

You have to be kidding.
This has to be a joke.
