Actor Mark Ruffalo sparks backlash by comparing conservative policy plan Project 2025 to Sharia law

- Actor Mark Ruffalo sparked a backlash on X, formerly Twitter, after he posted a statement on Tuesday comparing Project 2025, a controversial conservative policy plan, to Islam’s Sharia law.
Hundreds of users on X accused the actor of Islamophobia for using Islamic terms to describe the policy plan.
Project 2025, developed by conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation, is a document of more than 900 pages detailing controversial policy changes that could be implemented if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. It calls for reducing climate change regulations, adding further restrictions to abortion, removing laws protecting minorities from discrimination, ending programs aimed at improving diversity and inclusion in American society, and more. Critics have described the plan as “extremist” and “nationalist”.
Some users highlighted their disappointment in Ruffalo, who had previously spoken out against Israel’s war on Gaza and called for a ceasefire at the Directors Guild of America Awards earlier this year.

Mark has taken a brave stand for Muslims in the U.S. especially Palestinians. This is hard to do in Hollywood. I have great respect for him.🇺🇸🇵🇸
the zionists control Hollywood
He has done more to the cause of Palastine than majority of muslims.. This Qatari channel is insufferable!
@@alaanasser3243This channel is good. They're pointing out the news on social media. It's their job. For those of us who don't follow Mark Ruffalo, the compIaints seem very valid. Other than wearing a red pin and maybe hinting at a few things here and there, there isn't much reason for me to think he truly supports PaIestinians and coIonized people whole-heartedly, as people seem to believe.
I could be wrong, but I've yet to see him say anything directly. It's a different story for, say, Roger Waters, who has always been *extremely* vocal about his support for the opprssed people. Not saying Mark isn't. I'm just saying that a lot of people, like myself, aren't aware of him saying or doing all that much.
Ignorant cowards think everyone is brave. Your respect doesn't mean shit.
@@TD1237 He's been very vocal. It's not a pin here or there.
I dont think he is islamophobia considering his past, i say this is getting exaggerated by the real racist. Mark is a genuine progressive who stood with the palestinina and asked for ceasefire last year when many didnt dare to say anything
It's not just "islamophobic" or "not islamophobic". He might not be very islamophobic, but he definitely is somewhat, or he wouldn't be saying what he said.
then it sounds like he very much needs to EDUCATE himself more on things....
He's a disbeliever saying disbeliever stuff. Muslims need to regain their collective self-esteem instead of being over the moon whenever these disbelieving people throw them crumbs.
@@isuriadireja91 Are you familiar with the "Tea Party", a political group in the U.S.?
@@AnActualDinosaurTbf, comparing the innsane Christo-Fasscists of America to extrmst MusIim fundamentaIists can work in conveying an idea.
The probIem is that Shaaria is literally just the law, and there are different interpretations. Has nothing to do with extremsm.
I think Mark either knew what he was saying but chose to say this in order to get a point across - that these rihgtwing Christians are the same as rihgtwing MusIims (thus swaying people away from supporting the fasscists). Or he's just ignorrant and unaware of what Shaaria truly is.
He may have said it out of ignorance, but I don't think he's Islamophobic or bigoted towards Muslims.
No, he’s just a liberal white supremacist. he specifically referring to Islam, religion associated with darker peoples in the United States, at a time when his countries committing genocide against Muslims rather than his own countries, long history of white supremacist Christian fundamentalism.
America needs more Islam!
He is. He also toned down his criticism of Israel in the past to appease his Zionist friends.

From what I've seen and heard from Mark Ruffalo so far, he's no racist and certainly isn't anti-Islamic. The Habsara Trolls are probably besides themselves over this trying to split him from the Palestinian cause that he has backed at the risk of his own career.
Exactamente!!!
Yet he uses what every muslim believes in as a reference to barbarianism. Just because someone supports palestine does not mean they should get a free pass to say Islamophobic things.
@@_-FreePalestine-_ It is used mostly as a mirror to reflect Western Hypocrisy, yet without understanding the context it reveals quite a lot about the average Westerner's delusion. It is rightly criticized.
@@_-FreePalestine-_ I support Palestine while also being against religious fundamentalism, because I believe the Muslim world deserves a chance to move past legislating based on religion and secularize, the kind of secularization the west has been able to do so with Christianity at the expense of impoverishing the rest of the world, including the Muslim world.
Things are a lot more complicated, and secular people raised in Muslim backgrounds know what Ruffalo meant, and that I hope you also understand.
For instance, religious Islamic justified fanaticism exists because of Christian Islamic justified US military intervention from the Cold War and to this very day, specially in Iran and Afghanistan, which is also the reason why Zionist fanaticism is so powerful, even being backed by straight up Nazi politicians in the US and Europe (They even call Melenchon and his Jewish voting base as antisemitic, I mean, don't let the Israeli manipulation that calls anything "antisemitic" to seep onto this side, please...
Exactly my thought!!!
He was only using Sharia Law as an example because conservatives are extremely bigoted towards Muslims and obsess about Sharia Law being imposed on Americans, while also supporting their own "Christian" version of it. He was pointing out their hypocrisy. "Hey, you're doing the same thing you criticize. Making your religious beliefs law and enforcing it on everyone else".
Agreed.
Makes sense..Mark is a wise genuine guy with a heart of gold and he stands for justice and that won him a legion of admirers and fans..and new followers..Evil Zionists are tearing themselves apart trying to discredit him and sabotage his reputation and career. We all know Mark's true character he is a fine gentleman 👍💙🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This makes sense. I think you're right.
I think that's what he was trying to do. But in short text format, some nuances can be lost in translation.
He is using sharia law as an example because it’s literally the same as Christian conservative law . That’s it. Literally what is the difference ?. Both want religion in government and are very conservative.
He defends Muslims more than some Muslims.

i don't think anything he said was wrong. Religious laws are no bueno, regardless of whether they're Jewish, Christian, or Islamic.
ur not muslim stop commenting if u r ur just stupid
Thats not islamophobia. Thsts simply not knowing mych about Islam. But i think he is absolutte right in what he said. That is exactly the way things are going.
But then again, the way some Islamic countries call their laws sharia, he's wasn't really misinformed..
I know this as an ex Muslim that Saudia Arabic, the holiest country in islam Literally describes marriage as a "contract between a man and a woman where a man provides money in exchange of the women providing sex"
Which is literally the definition of prostitution...
The difference is, the escort is incharge of her own income and doesn't have to take permission of her clients to seek medical care or escape abuse...
In Saudi and many Muslim country law, a woman cannot escape abuse of the abuser if it's her Mehram..Qur'an allows husband to beat his wives and humiliate them if they disobey his whims... She's basically his property..
I don’t think he meant it like that. Ruffalo has been VERY pro Palestinian, and put his career on the line for the Palestinian cause, showing that he is not bigoted.. especially when you consider that Islam compromises 98% of the population in Palestine. 🇵🇸
So you have to support sharia law to support Palestine?
@@lovegood141 No. You don’t have to. Most of the people that support Palestine are actually Jewish, (who don’t follow Shariah). To support Palestine, is to support humanity. Because Palestine is a colonized land, with a colonized people, subjected to oppression. It’s the way Ruffalo phrased it, that made it sound like Shariah Law is something bad. When really, this is an ignorant claim. The Palestinians support Shariah Law, as this is the law that is followed by Muslims.
@@lovegood141yes sharia is meant to protect and preserve life so we have to we can't go against sharia
@Trilliman707 well, at least you're honest about being a jihadi apologist
@dudebro91-fn7rz believing in the quran and sunnah doesn't make us jihadist that's fake zionist narrative of jihad yes 2.1 billion muslims believe in jihad true jihad has principles and rules and regulations it's not ehat those zionist spies and the t words do that's not jihad jihad is a spiritual struggle internally however fighting in war against oppression and extermination of our ummah (pan Islamic community) and our brothers and sisters in faith is also jihad bit we can't attack non combatants we can't attack civilians we can't attack house of worship and we can't attack priest and religious rulers that's not fighting against us we only can attack the oppressors and the ones that try to attack us
I don’t see any Islamophobia here .
Unlike most, Mark Ruffalo seems like the kind of person who actually learns from this.
I think after everything he has done for the effort, I’m personally not upset about this. We aren’t exactly in a position to be pushing away high profile allies.
Allah Almighty is our only high profile ally.
Don't you dare compromise God's religion to pander to some privileged Hollywood actor.
He had a false view on Shariah and people are pointing it and educating him on it. Nothing wrong with that.

This is a position of the secular country and frankly it is my position. Neither Sharia nor Christian laws should EVER become state laws. Use religious rules for members of your religion, but don’t impose them on all people of your countries.

Ima muslim I like project 2025 however biggest issue is the zionist state they support and apart of

@@ammadkhan7228 are you stupid? There are thousands of sahih hadith and one example is: buraida reported god's messanger as saying, " the covenant between us and them is prayer, so if anyone abandons it he has become an infidel." Ahmad, tirmidhi, nasa'i and ibn majah transmitted it.
“Sharia” means codex or laws in Arabic. So describing “Project 2025” as “Sharia for Christians” is not a wrong statement. It’s just American Muslims are Americans at the end of the day….dramatic as usual.
After Mark's pro-Palestine stance, I find it hard to believe that this was actually malicious. It's more likely that he just screwed up with his words and then the whole thing blew up out of proportion.
I think third parties are tring to make a bigger fuss about the issue. Nothing too serious said against Islam. We Muslims can see what's actually islamophobic and what's just a simple lack of understanding.
The word sharia means “law” in Arabic, so when they say sharia law is like saying law law! Just shows the level of ignorance.
Yeah we dont want that law here in the West, practice it in the desert please.

many muslims are really emotional like bro relax the guy is not against you or against your religion man just chill i am muslim also
you're showing some true ignorance on their religion
I'm sure he meant well. The Christian extremists are probably far more offended, haha. Really, there is no one set of Sharia laws. It is all the resources we have to govern our lives. Some is solid Quranic reference and some is... discussion worthy, when brothers in a religion argue about what is most fair in fearing the Lord and the Afterlife.
What’s wrong with comparing conservative policies with Sharia? Isn’t Sharia conservative?
Just because he said that, does not make him islamopobic
He's just comparing the idea of mixing religion into goverment and law. Calling it islamaphobia is a huge stretch. Everyone is looking for something to complain about these days. One of the reasons our government has been used as a model all over the world is because of that separation between church and state. It was an idea born out of experience and wisdom. We had had enough of crazy peoples interpretations of religion and their use of it to control the masses unfairly. The idea of putting them back together is born out of ignorance to this basic concept.
Love ruffalo,the person,the actor and his principles. ❤
Its not "phobic" to criticise any religion or any system of law. Shari'a is a legal system and everyone is free to criticise it. Doesnt make them islamophobic. And us Muslims need to be less sensitive and use our God given brains more rather than crying and making enemy out of everyone all the time.
man he is better than most people in the industry. He should apologise as professor Hulk.
This man is not Islamophobic he respects everyone equally and also why're they acting like abortion ain't common, he just mentioned that u can get an abortion after 40 days and most of the people who got offended ain't even Muslim so respectfully if u offended for our religion shut up, same for black people, my black friend couldn't care less if people say the N-word but these are the same people who would get offended FOR HIM
We are not God to judge him and assume what he said as Islamophobia!! The sad truth is that he had to use a language only the States and the West would understand !!
People need to start giving others the benefit of the doubt. This guy has been an ardent supporter of Palestinians from the very beginning and risked his career over it, and suddenly because he said something that may have been purely out of sheer ignorance of what 'sharia law' entails, all of a sudden he's the bad guy now? C'mon people, this is ridiculous.
He definitely didn't mean it in a bad way against muslims
It was the extremes that he was pointing out . Leave it to media to propagate
People need to calm down, he’s a staunch pro Palestine ally. Also, as a Muslim, I wouldn’t want to live under a theocracy with sharia law. We Muslims like to believe it would usher in some kind of utopia but then you look at Muslim countries that have sharia law and it’s the opposite.
Muslim sharia law poor economy nations need to improve their economy first then might implement sharia law but incorporate compassionate factors in the law too for it to be a fair legal system. Andrew Tate said he feels safer walking and wearing expensive watches in Dubai than in UK or other western cities. He meant because of the good law there
@@Damngoodcoffee_n_cherrypie thank you! Wish more Muslims would be more vocal about it. When I make the point as a non Muslim, you always worry coming off as a Islamophobe. But for from it! We must stand for a more liberal open form of Islam. The world needs it. Muslims need it. Just ask the Iranians. Just like I don’t want the west to be over run by Christian evangelicals or Israel to be overrun by overzealous Jews or India to be overrun by overzealous Hindus.

Thank you for speaking out Mark ❤🇵🇸
Alot of Americans don't understand what is supposed to be 'Shariah' law. It's further complicated how countries that claim to have it have not implemented Shariah in legitimate ways. Ruffalo has gone on a limb to advocate for Palestinians AND he is expressing a legitimate concern about Project 2025 that is real.
People could equally politely point out to him what constitutes 'Shariah' law is in itself problematic and best to just use 'fanatic' -- we all get that notion regardless of our religions. Fanatics exist in every religion and we really need to focus on stemming fanaticism, not getting hung up on this which is distracting from resolution that's sorely needed.
Whi wants Sharia law to be implemented? I consider any theocractic rule/regime/government unacceptable. Don't see how that is islamophobic.
The hulk speaks the truth.
I am 100% for the Palestinians. But I am also 100% against Jewish fundamentalism. And Islamic fundamentalism. And Hindu fundamentalism. And Christian fundamentalism too! And hence I agree with Mark Ruffalo. All those who want to implement Sharia law or talk about it positively are no different from the ones in the US who want to impose the Bible on the US which is a secular country and separation of church and state is one of the founding principles. He may be repeating something that Islamophobic people may say but it is the truth and the faster moderate Muslims come to their senses and oppose it the better. There is zero positive consequence of Sharia law. In any part of the world. Secular laws for all are the way to go. Separation of Church and state is why the West prospered. And that is why half the non-western world wants to flock to the west via immigration. Just admit it.
You do realize Sharia isn't just governmental law and neither is it set in stone. It is something rather fluid that scholars interpret. It sets out basic principles that should be followed (e.g. don't kill someone) and the rest is up to Muslim scholars to interpret and back up with evidence either from the Quran itself or the Sunnah. One country's Sharia can and will theoretically be different from another.
Sharia, as one of the posters in the video said, is something that explains to Muslims how we pray, what we eat, who and how we marry, what we wear, etc. It's not a "law" as in legal terms. Yes, Sharia does have laws constituting legality and how one should govern but it is only a part of what Sharia truly is. Sharia is a lifestyle above anything else. It is a teaching on how one should live their life.
Yes 🙌 I’m a Muslim against sharia law. People can dress it up all they want but look at countries that do have sharia law. Sure, their interpretations are all different - Iran is a different kind of crazy to Saudi Arabia - but they’re all dogmatically conservative and impervious to reason. Some people like to say that Sharia law is often applied alongside the customary law of the people - but religion shouldn’t be part of then government anyway. And calling Sharia Law a way of life doesn’t make it any better - it’s basically the same as following Leviticus to the letter. No thanks.
@@iamagirl9938 - spare me please! Tell that to the Afghan women and girls and Iranian women. Hard pass on the Sharia law and the Ten Commandments or the Hindu scriptures or the Torah dictating any civil laws. Viva la France I say! Long live the secular republics of the world!
@@Damngoodcoffee_n_cherrypie - superb! Completely agree.
@@andyskywalker1979 Personally I can't even call what Iran does an implementation of Sharia, same with Saudi and the Taliban. They do so many things that are against Islam and claim it to be in the name of Islam.
Again your comment boils down to you, and many others like you, not knowing anything about what Sharia is truly meant to be. None of those countries implement Sharia correctly only twisting and using aspects that suit the people in charge while completely ignoring other fundamentals that don't suit their interest (In other words, corruption). It's utterly disgusting what they claim to do in the name of our religion. I have problems with them too in that regard.
Our religion doesn't allow killing girls who don't wear hijab, nor does it allow the right to deny women education. Aisha (RA), the wife of the Prophet (PBUH), was one of the greatest scholars in Islam. Not to mention Khadija (RA) was a lucrative businesswoman.
If there was a country in this world that implemented Sharia in the correct way I would happily live there. As it stands all those who pretend to practice Sharia have morphed it to suit their own interests.
Not to mention the many many crimes of so-called secular countries.
Being critical of Islam is not the same as Islamophobia. In a secular, democratic country, we don't want any Religious Law to be integrated into the Law of the Land. Whether it's Islamic law, Christian law, Jewish law, Hindu law, etc ... none of them have a place in the Law of the Land of a secular country.
The state should protect both freedom of religion _and_ freedom from religion. In France, a woman should be able to wear a hijab if she wishes. In Iran, a woman should be able to walk in public with her face uncovered.
Practice your religions (I see many positives in Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, etc), but do not expect religious _HEGEMONY_ .
So, there is no humanly possible way to criticise anything Muslim or Islamic ever?
Every single idea, creed, ideology on this earth is fallible, subject to criticism... but not Islam?
I don’t think he is racist what I’ve seen and read he isn’t racist he stands up for Palestine and Muslims everywhere may Jesus protect him for this evil world
He said an ignorant thing but mark is a good man who cares about Palestinian lives ❤

Why is it that Greta Thunberg gets accused of antisemitism for having an octo-plushie (which many people on the autism spectrum use to express their emotions), but people seem very forgiving on Mark Ruffalo for making Sharia Law sound like fascism? Even if his words were unintentional, they were still Islamophobic. He should apologize.
absolutely.
He may not have made that statement intentionally but it still sounds terrible. If he truly is sincere about what his intentions were he should come out, apologize, and offer an explanation.
I disagree. Firstly, the two cases are distinct. I would say most people thought the criticisms of Greta Thunberg were unhinged and clearly designed to defend the genocidal state of Israel against Palestinians.
I understand why Ruffalo's comments may appear ignorant and phobic since Sharia means custom or law and thus seems a redundancy/tautology (law law) but actually the term Sharia law does make sense if one differentiates religious laws/customs from law as that which is enforced by the(/a) modern state. As such, "Sharia law" tends to designate not religious customs or divine law but the enforcement of religious customs by what ought to be a secular state. His whole point actually does make sense in this regard. Even conservatives values are tolerable if not enforced on others by the state. In this respect, I agree with Ruffalo though I think the choice of words was unfortunate since it does tend to reinforce a common misconception that Sharia refers to theocratic rule.
No you are bind to the situation what has caused many in the western world to fear Islam. Is sharia law saying we are just Islamophobic.
Is just wrong.
No he is not, people should read his tweet properly.
Mark is 100% correct with this comparison. As an atheist, I agree that Project2025 and Shiria Law are equally absurd because nations should never be governed by religious doctrine. I believe in self determining democracy, by the people, not theocratic rule by self righteous religious elites.

Just remember guys - actors arent necessarily the best advocates/spokespeople despite their good intentions... Dont expect so much from them - lots of them were waiting tables before they made it. At least this guy's Pro-palestinian.
Palestinians caused is easier to fight for because its purely black and white but on the subject that is more detailed than just called 'sharia law', if it takes learn folks years to understand the purpose behind it, then it certainly takes more for those who are ignorant to learn about it... Its not an easy subject, its also multidimensional..
Perhaps its a matter of his perspective of what shariah law actually is, thats misunderstood by him because this seems very out of character considering his past stances. A scholar needs to interview and educate him. I highly doubt this man is islamophobic, hopefully he proves to be true to this point. Because that statement is completely inaccurate and does not make sense.
These are facts not islamophobia! Islamic sharia law is not humane
He needs to educate himself about sharia law, as with many others.
He is a wonderful actor and great human being ❤
Uh oh you don't want the Hulk to be angry Abdools😂
Well hes absolutely right 🤷🏻♂️
He, like many Americans including myself, have absolutely no earthly idea as to what Sharia law is. We hear it thrown around to justify not allowing women to be seen in public without a male family member with her. We hear it thrown around about not allowing women to have careers or go to school. We hear all kinds of things that leads to ignorance on our part and a fear of it. Like the fear of the unknown.
Its complicated a bit but the gist of it is that a full style sharia is the stuff u would find in saudi arabia, aghanistan, iran etc. the preference now in the levantine and Maghreb region to only use the modern compatible stuff about it and forego archaic outdated stuff that would be treated as too unjust, oppresive and/or problematic
Under Sharia, a woman really cannot leave her home or join a career if her mahram (male guardian) does not allow it. You were not misled.
Just because most Muslims don't practice this anymore because it seems over-controlling does not mean that it's not part of Sharia (Islamic law).
Islam is a patriarchal religion.
@@psychopassisamasterpiece1997 u dont no what it is stop copying stuff off google and commenting
@@haelotny6523 another non Muslim who doesnt even know what sharia is and ur commenting smh
some people always make excuses to save their favourite celebrity even if everything is straight & clear. He made islamophobic comments for which he should atleast apologise to all muslims.
Ofcourse it's the Anon Twitter accounts getting "offended" and accusing him of BS..
He has the Sharia Pass, so no problem.
I can’t see anything wrong.
Coz sharia law is so progressive yea
Wow, when they're suddenly concerned about islamophobia, you know something is being engineered.
Challenge impossible :Hollywood actors trying not to extremely dumn
He is ignorant on the matter. Hopefully someone helps him learn what Islam actually is.
No because western countries do not want sharia law, nor do they want a Christian version of it.
He is correct
Great man❤
As a British Muslim, I find the implication that 'Shariah law' is in any way negative deeply ignorant and disrespectful. However, I do not think he was aware of that. It is therefore forgivable.
It's okay. Respect to Mark despite disagreement.
He's defended a lot more Muslims, than muslims themselves. And at risk of losing his job.
Youre wrong this time middle east eye. Sheria law has extremist rules. Im muslim but i admit it. Yes mark couldve used other examples but that doesnt mean that hes completely wrong. Stop friendly fire.
Hypocrite by Disney. Remember Gina Carano was fired by Disney for doing the same thing as Mark Ruffalo.
Change starts somewhere. I will still support him
No way this can't be true. No mannnnn. He always supported Muslims before. WTH is going on
Wasn’t he the guy clapping for the Palestinian protest. Maybe poor chose of words/ignorance.
Mar Ruffalo isn't Islamophobic, and if we fall for this, then we also fall for calling anything antisemitic.
I don't know why people can't see this.
Mark Ruffalo the actor who pretends he's "The Incredible Hulk?' I always take what he says seriously
But Sharia _is_ a bunch of conservative religious laws. He did nothing wrong by calling conservative laws motivated by Christians' religion as Christian Sharia, especially since those Christians spread fear of Islamic Sharia being applied on everyone while hypocritically being okay with Christian laws being applied on everyone.
Well, my knowledge of Sharia is very limited; but from what I've read and heard so far, it includes procedures for things like resolving financial disputes, slaughtering and dividing livestock, going through divorce, etc. Most of it is not the sort of thing that could realistically be "imposed" on anyone. Project 2025 would probably not survive a court challenge; but it's clearly based on far-right ideology, including Dominionist and Seven Mountains theology, both of which are bad news for anyone who wants to live in a free, democratic society...
In a way he's just lowering the level of his speech to make himself clear to stupid people who only understand stupid analogies
OMG he absolutely is not being Islamophobic and he is so supportive of minorities, and of Palestine. He put his neck
Out for Palestinians, where even Arab leaders and leaders of other muslim countries have not. He is our hero. Mark we love you ❤❤❤
