As it turns out, Shariah law doesn’t look that fun.

A London-based radical Islamic cleric took to Twitter to get people excited about his dream for a world ruled by Shariah law, but ended up giving social media a long list of reasons to avoid radical Islam altogether.

According to Anjem Choudary, the time is fast approaching when Islam will rule the world, and it is the job of “true believers” to make it happen.

One day the whole world will be under the authority of the Muslims (Izhar ud-Deen). Muslims must believe in this & struggle to see it happen

Of course, he was quick to point out that there is still a lot of work to do, a lot of countries to overrun, and a lot of freedoms to wipe out before that day comes.

Many prophecies of the Prophet have yet to be fulfilled such as conquering Rome, removing Israel & Ruling over Russia/China/US/UK/India etc. — Anjem Choudary (@anjemchoudary) July 16, 2015

It must be hard listing all the countries that aren’t Islamic in 140 characters or less.

Bracing his followers for the limitations of Shariah, Choudary explained that radical Islam is “superior” to any other way of life.

Islam is a DEEN – meaning a comprehensive & compete way of life. A better & superior alternative to the decadence of Communism & Capitalism!

When Choudary describes communism as being “decadent,” it’s pretty obvious what’s coming next isn’t going to thrill too many people.

Social media users didn’t seem too excited about the prospect of outlawing half of the Western world’s weekend activities, and the backlash was brutal. (And probably outlawed by Shariah.)

Choudary is probably adding “Twitter” and “sarcasm” to the list right now.
