When news broke that the Supreme Court was poised to strike down Roe v. Wade, critics on social media, at rallies and on talk shows called Republicans the "American Taliban" and griped that they wanted to bring Sharia, or Islamic law, to the U.S. 

“It is a bit amazing. After all these years of the right screaming about the threat of Sharia law, it turns out they were just jealous,” "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah said in one such barb on May 4.

The comparisons are not only offensive but also inaccurate, say Muslims.
