To even equate Sharia Law with the long-time foundations of Western law and history is a nonsensical equation or comparison. We don't, and never did, prohibit women from talking to a man in public. We NEVER, prohibited women from being in the presence of a man absent of their husband or relative. NEVER, in modern days, prohibit women from driving cars, or getting an education. We, as a country, did not permit slaves or women from voting, but we, as a society, corrected that via the Constitutional Amendment process, (not judicial caveat or the likes). This case, HB2 , is an open, common sense solution. What you surmise (though misplaced) is that they are the same, and they are NOT. Do we execute people of homosexuality or transgender in this country - NO? Do we deny employment from homosexuals in this country - NO! For you to allude that the US is the same as Sharia law is a ludicrous comparison and bares no justification is history or US law.
