History The Tuareg people (despite being predominantly Muslims) have a culture where men veil their faces, while women do not

Modern islam is mostly a perversion of autocratic tendencies (like the middle age christianity was)

In the US Christianity is no different. Conservatives basically believe in a Christian Sharia law here.

Look, clearly there are plenty of differences. But one cannot deny that modern American conservatism has become an authoritarian theocratic movement. They're trying to subject us all to their Christian authoritarianism and are trying to restrict liberty and force everyone to live like them. They're also becoming increasingly radicalized and violent. I had multiple conservatives threaten my life in a local politics FB group debating trans issues just yesterday. When Trump took office again I was receiving so many death threats from conservatives on Facebook that I deleted a lot of my social media accounts and deleted my ten year old reddit account that used my real name. 

My point isn't that they're exactly the same but rather that they have a lot of parallels.

No they don't. American's on all political sides of threaten each other all the time. Name one violent that was done my Christians in recent times. Give me an example of mob of Christians killing someone in the U.S ? . The fact Left leaning Americans keep comparing islam with Christianity, is just comical.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk. And dude, lynchings are still a problem in Christian dominated Southern states. There was one just a few days ago. 

Christians be violent in this country. 

Also, states the most Christian populations essentially murder women with awful healthcare policy. The most Christian states have dramatically higher deaths of mothers giving birth. Because women dying is better than giving them healthcare.

And did any Christian group claim the act ?

The assassination of Charlie Kirk

And didn't the assassin claimed he was Christian ?, the assassin was a straight up liberal .Charlie Kirk was a conservative Christian popular figure killed by a liberal activist

states the most Christian populations essentially murder women with awful healthcare policy. The most Christian states have dramatically higher deaths of mothers giving birth. Because women dying is better than giving them healthcare. 

The U.S as a whole generally doesn't have affordable healthcare and even when its offered ,it's generally mismanagement. That's not a Christian issue but a issue of governance.

Charlie Kirk's assassin was a MAGA Mormon. Multiple members of his family confirmed he was MAGA.
