Sharia law? Islam?

Question

What do you guys think about it? Should the UN interfere if it gets too out of hand? 
I’m a Muslim. I’m originally from Indonesia and we don’t practice Sharia Law except one “special exception province” which is Aceh. They do their own thing in a way. Like a rogue province. I get hurt when people come up to me and ask “is it true your religion loves to kill and oppress women??!?!?!?11” when in reality it isn’t all like that. Indonesia, as a nation with Islam as the #1 religion, had a women president. I’ve known Muslims over there wearing hijabs and some not wearing hijabs. It’s pretty relaxed.
I’ve seen documentaries about sharia law and i can see where it gets out of hand. I believe in the separation of church and state. Opinions? What do you guys think about Islam? Particularly why people are slamming on the Middle East and I guess the religion in general? Sorry if this topic is repetitive or if I displayed any ignorance.

Answer

Sharia is just the law of the Quran. There are laws in the Bible and Torah too. Just like those, Sharia is both a product of it's time (actually, a fairly progressive product at that, Islam began with very feminist ideals for its time) and is open to interpretation by different jurists, even individual practitioners of Islam Sharia has been vastly sensationalized by Western islamophobia, and it actually has a history of progressive values when it comes to allowing secular communities within Islamic states to practice their own version of secular laws. 
In some places, of course, the imposition of extreme interpretations of Sharia has caused political unrest, and in general, I believe that secular states are more stable and ethical. But as far as ancient religious laws go, Sharia is not significantly different from the other Abrahamic religions.

Answer

I forget most of what I've read about Sharia Law so I need to do a refresher. But regardless of religion I believe inseperation of church and state as well. I also believe that we are focusing way too much on Muslims and their religion when there are extremists in ever religion. Including Christianity. Even Buddhists have extremists considering what is happening to Rohingyan Muslims.

Answer

From what I understand the problem is in the European countries. Muslim populations are arguing that some state laws don't apply to them because their true law is Sharia and they want it to supercede the state laws.

Answer

I get confused when people talk about Sharia Law but they’re fine with extreme Christianity.

Answer

The UN has yet to interfere in The fundamentalists in America taking over the government. Dearborn is one example of a large Muslim population that hasn’t implemented Sharia Law. They follow the laws of the country they live in. I don’t care how they live their lives otherwise. Why is everyone focused on Muslim extremes that are clearly fringe groups, unreflective of the majority? Yet my country is being taken over by a bunch of yahoos?

Answer
