I don't believe you. If that was the case, you wouldn't be so ignorant about religion in general, claiming it's used as an excuse for hate. Anything's used as an excuse for hate.

So, as I understand it, Sufis reject Sharia law?
SUFISM EMANATES FROM THE SHARIA
I find that the word Sharia seems to scare non-Muslims for they associate it with medieval laws. ... Little wonder that most people simply do not relate the rigidity of Sharia with Sufism, which is perceived as a compassionate ideology.
Suffis strictly follow the Sharia, Islamic laws based on the Quaran, Hadith and Imla, consensus of the Muslim community.
...
The Sufi philosophy is classified into three stages: Sharia, the outward law, Tareeqa, the Way and Haqeeqa, the Truth. Prophet Muhhamed said, 'The Sharia law is my word, Tareeqa my actions and Haqeeqa my inner state'.

Taken from Sufism: Heart of Islam by Sadia Dehlvi.
In short, Sufis embrace the Sharia.

Ehh. Christians twist the Bible to accept homosexuality when they should be stoning gays according to Leviticus. Obviously Muslims do the same. That's the thing about religion. It's all in the subjective interpretation.

Do you believe that all 1.3 billion Muslims of the world are fundamentalists?

Surely I'm mistaken though because it sounds like this guy had plans to kill a lot more people and it was a gun that stopped him. Surely this is false and he was defeated via hand to hand combat.
Who are these loony liberals you are talking to who say this wasn't terrorism and that the terrorist shouldn't have been shot?

Leviticus was already discussed in other thread. In short, it does not hold binding for Christians. 👆 I am too lazy to find the thread.Obviously not. 👆 But a very large part is, according to research studies such as Pew or CNN.
"does not hold binding"= subjective interpretation

So you're using this attack to vent your rage at gun control?
Wait didn't you use Orlando to vent rage about Christians?
But I'm not actually enraged, I'm just pointing out typical liberal responses to this. They need to ban some shit dude, and dag nabbit they gonna ban it.
But on a serious note yeah, a horrible loss of life and only further loss was prevented by a well timed gun shot. Thank you to whoever fired that shot.

That almost never holds true for anything other than the 10 commandments and even those have books of explanations. For someone who claims to have a Muslim father and christian mother, you know next to nothing about either religions.

You misunderstand, some want to ban literally all guns.
Now as for the other thing, if I type in "Let's Ban Muslims presidential rally" into google I will find these so called rallies, right? No I do not mean a rally where it is merely mentioned, but rallies specifically just dedicated to banning Muslims.
