Somehow you think that if there is a law that is "Christian" in your mind then it must be "Christian Sharia Law".
That's not how I'd phrase it, but you are close. I'd say that religious legislation of any kind is on par whether you are a Christian, Muslim, Bahai'i, or whatever. The term "sharia" is ultimately a useless. Just because Islam has a special name for a set of rules does not mean that it's special rules are somehow more cruel or unjust than Christianity or Judaism. Consider the language of this conversation minus the term "sharia" at all.

Or simple taxonomy will suffice. Two ducks in a pond. I'll agree they are different colors, but you want to argue that they aren't both ducks or that we can't compare them for your own arbitrary reasons.

It's not logical thinking. Ever hear of "magical thinking"?
I have heard of magical thinking. It's a great way to describe all religions and their claim to special entitlement or authority. Often it is used to insulate from rational thinking given a body of evidence. Since you've been introduced to a large degree of evidence directly making Christianity comparable to Islam, you've decided to engage in magical thinking vis-a-vis "not caring about history."

Here is a question for you: Is keeping marriage between a man and a woman "Chrisian Sharia Law"?
Sure. It would be an example of religious orthodoxy for multiple religions. Here's a better way to look at it: If it was the objective for conservative Muslims to enter the USA and take control of our laws, then institute their own religious sharia mandates, what would their objectives be? How would they differ from the objectives of the Christians? As the OP points out, there are differences, but for the most part, if Muslims want to curb homosexual civil rights, then it seems that many Christians in the USA are working toward their goal for them. If Muslims were to take control, they'd only have a few details left to sort out. Christians would have already done the heavy lifting in terms of breaking down secular protections.
