How are proponents of Christian ethics and morals different than those of Sharia law?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37345points) June 7th, 2012

In the US, at least, we have fundamentalist Christians who impose their views on society by passing laws at many different levels of government and by passing laws through the voting booth to force their moral code on the rest of society.

One example: 33 states passed bans on same-sex marriage through the voting booth after campaigns riddled with religious arguments.

How is that different than Muslim governments imposing their religious laws on their citizens?

This is not a question about same-sex marriage.

People of the Jewish faith don’t try to force all of the US to follow their dietary laws. Why can’t more religions behave like that?
