Incorrect. The term alt left is used to create a false equivalency to the alt right, who call themselves the alt right by their own accord. As such, it doesn't exist.It does!

Oh good. Sorry I over reacted. Going to go back and start this over.
You're ruining the joke.

OK, I see where I blew it. Sorry.
I "think" some of the heaviest extremism is in the American south, particularly Texas, and one of the Carolinas. I tried to survive in radical Evangelical Christianity for 33 years, but when I got sick, they were unhelpful and merciless. For me, the worst was the "bait and switch" of the Mormons, I'll never fully trust Christians again. Thankfully, I never did disavow Islam, so have just kept being Muslim, one who has some reservations about Jesus the Christ, or Isa PBUH.
Hopefully, someone in Texas will come to their senses ???
You must return to your private avatar.Indeed I am.
I miss that smiling face.
About half of the world's Muslim want Sharia.
I am troubled by Christian extremists AND Islam, and I try to place blame as is appropriate.

Could have fooled me. I would go with 75% dead off.

But "Sharia" is as flexible a construct as, say, "justice", it means different things to different people and in different places. Taking your uncited claimed 50% of Muslims wanting Sharia law as accurate for the sake of argument, that doesn't mean 50% of Muslims want the beheading-people-in-the-streets-for-parking-infractions-and-library-fines strawman version that the Usual Suspects believe it to mean. People wanting Sharia law doesn't necessarily suggest they want it applied to anyone not already a Muslim, either, despite the other strawman myth the Usual Suspects love to put about, that the evil Muslims are trying to impose Sharia on non Muslims in Western countries.
But that's really not the point of the thread, or Stonekettle's tweet. Since so many people seem to be having difficulty, I'll spell it out;
Here's an example of the sort of people who clutch their pearls in a panic and terror at the idea that they are about to have Sharia law imposed on them, trying to implement laws that are at least as bad as anything Sharia law would actually involve.
As usual, I am pointing out hypocrisy. I hope this clarifies the matter for everyone.
See, I've seen you say this before, yet you seem to complain about Islamic extremism a lot more than you do Christian. Indeed, here we have an example of a Christian extremist wanting to kill people based on his religious beliefs, and rather than criticise him, you seem to be jockeying into position to take a swipe at sharia.

Muslims and Islam: Key findings in the U.S. and around the world
About halfway scrolling down you will find the percentage of Muslims supporting Sharia law.

Nope. Still close, as it's still excessive, religious based repression. The right often bellows the loudest about loving liberty, yet they seem to do a ****-poor job of actually trying to protect and uphold it.

'k? So what was the issue with the OP again?
Well, I guess it could also be argued that the rapist should get the death penalty.
In fact, they might even propose a death penalty for everything. Just like that planet in Star Trek TNG where even the smallest violations are punished by death. (The episode ended on a sour note, because they lost their chance to do away with Wesley Crusher right then and there.)

I think the closest thing to an "alt left" would be "SJWs", by which I mean those who have more radical views and use excessive and/or questionable methods and tactics.
Not SJWs.....more of the violent wing....the Antifa & Occupy crowds.

I would still consider them SJWs, albeit more fringe/extreme ones.
A subset of SJWs then.
I'd rather not paint most of them with the actions of the "alt left".

I would consider SJWs "alt left" because they certainly don't represent the average liberal. I would be considered liberal by most and I don't consider myself a SJW. Of course I'm sure many conservatives would, but they consider anyone left of Mussolini "SJW"s, "socialists", etc.
Sure it does. It's your identitatrian zealots on the left
