is that 'sharia law" in this context is a framework for arbitration. A tradition in the middle east is to use middlemen (who are not directly and emotionally involved) to negotiate a solution to a problem.

A rather mature and peaceful approach instead of "git yer gun and shoot 'em up!".

1strongblackman just posted - he's watching him and he's insane. Totally not surprised by him pushing this lie.

Anyone pushed back on him or are they letting him get away with trying to start a genocide?
