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.

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!!!
This guy has put his career on the line to defend the rights of Palestinians. I give him a pass.
his career on the line, really..?? by putting that stoopid micro pin on his tux, at the oscars...and maybe a couple of tweets..and reposts..?? really...that's YOUR definition of putting one's career ON THE LINE...?? man, i see the standards have been lowered REALLY LOW when it comes to this cause.
if this were Susan Sarandon...or the Zone of Interest director, who gave that bold oscar speech...saying this, I MIGHT give em a pass....
@@isuriadireja91 oh really a few posts? A pin? First have you been following him? He's been super outspoken on the subject. Hollywood has ditched many celebrities for less far than that so yes that's the definition of putting his career on the line. Also being an Arab myself how many Arab celebrities did half of what he's doing? The vast majority of them are remaining silent and going on life as usual. So how about you stop your judgment and appreciate all the support because God knows we need each and every voice speaking out right now and rather than use your's to smear an ally spare it to fight real Zionists. So yes I give him a PASS
@@MRM_241 Exactly, most Arab celebrities hasn't done 1% of what Mark did in defending Palestine, plus he might've said those comments out of ignorance, after all Sharia Law is heavily condemned by western media
These selection of response tweets are more informative than accusatory, calling him out on the incorrect image he has of Sharia law is the only way he would see his comment was incorrect and unjust
@@isuriadireja91 Hollywood big shots are major players in the AIPAC lobby.
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.
@@TukwilaRed1974 False
@@abdulazizalzut8963 nope.
all the zionists need to respect Gaia.
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.
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.
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’s using the example because he knows that it will upset evangelicals and fascist Christians. He’s more outspoken for Palestinians than the Saudis.
What are you BABBLING about A*S🤡?
All he was saying is to keep religion out of government. The comparison was perfectly fine.
Ruffalo is fine. He put his career on the line all the time for Palestinians and other oppressed people.
Yeah, he should have used another word, but it was a misuse of a word, not an intentional slight.
As an American and an Arab, I agree. I dont want anyone enforcing their religion on me. Because in the end, its what they think their religion means.
Islam is the 3rd book of the Zio-Story.

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
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?
@@loonylovegood141 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.
@@loonylovegood141yes 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
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..
He could just mean the project is trying to have a Christian based rules. Don’t push him away from Islam. He’s one who had the guts to speak against Israel.
Unlike most, Mark Ruffalo seems like the kind of person who actually learns from this.
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.
Mark is pro 🍉 💜
As a Muslim I have no problem with this statement. There is no Sharia law that anyone can agree on so it's a moot point
Making fun of islam is major disbelief so that statement is wrong, but he's not a believer any way
@@Youssefmadhy what are you talking about? That's the problem, reactionary people who can't think beyond the tiny scope of their teachers.
@@ammadkhan7228 so you want us to forget the teachings of prophet mohammad(pbuh)?

@@TD1237 Stop being authoritarian. Freedom of religion, or lack thereof, is an essential pillar of a civil society.
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.
“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.
What he said is practically true. Most of the time the x-treme conservative themself will use the other x-treme conservative group just to justify themselves because deep down, they know that is the only examples they can show, their *own* x-treme way of ideology.
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.

@@egnielson not mad just exposing insincerity. He would have thought twice before saying anything regarding jionism and judaism
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.
Ok, I think I get why He compared the 2. For years, we had conservative use Sharria law as the most scariest thing coming to America. I think by doing this, he's trying to make low information voters the idea of how bad their plan is.
Bingo!
Exactly.
Ima muslim I like project 2025 however biggest issue is the zionist state they support and apart of
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.
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
He definitely didn't mean it in a bad way against muslims
What’s wrong with comparing conservative policies with Sharia? Isn’t Sharia conservative?
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.
No, it’s 2024 and perfectly fair to call out that any religious based legal framework is not acceptable. Sharia Law being the most prevalent and well known example of this in practice makes it a perfect and reasonable choice for an analogy. Thanks Mark for always being on the right side.
u dont even no what sharia is and ur commenting smh if ur not muslim dont comment
It was the extremes that he was pointing out . Leave it to media to propagate
Here he was right. He loves people, not Islamic or Jewish people. Just people. Do you get it???
Whi wants Sharia law to be implemented? I consider any theocractic rule/regime/government unacceptable. Don't see how that is islamophobic.
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
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?
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.
Yeah, westerners don't just struggIe to understand these things, but they also seem averse to learning about history and human cultures. If they weren't so biggoted, they'd be aware of this.

But you want your laws in other countries and around the globe. @@koch1467
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.
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.
Meh. Religious extremism is religious extremism.
another ignorant comment from someone who doesnt even no what sharia is
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 !!
Just because he said that, does not make him islamopobic

He stood up for Muslims and Palestine 🇵🇸🤲🏼♥️❤️
Uh oh you don't want the Hulk to be angry Abdools😂
No he is not, people should read his tweet properly.
As a Muslim, I would call this conservative phobia rather than Islamophobia.
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.
He said an ignorant thing but mark is a good man who cares about Palestinian lives ❤

I think maybe he spoke out of a misunderstanding. He is usually quite pro-Muslim. This is very confusing and makes no sense
Mark Ruffalo is for Free Palestine, he is a decent person.
The hulk speaks the truth.
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
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_ .
Whats wrong in his statement?
Wow, when they're suddenly concerned about islamophobia, you know something is being engineered.
Ofcourse it's the Anon Twitter accounts getting "offended" and accusing him of BS..
These are facts not islamophobia! Islamic sharia law is not humane
Thank you for speaking out Mark ❤🇵🇸

Challenge impossible :Hollywood actors trying not to extremely dumn
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.

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.

I'm glad people see through this. Trying to create dissent among allies.
I know what he meant and it wasn't meant as an insult to Christians. He has been pretty vocal for Palestinians so a bit of grace can be spared
I think he's completely ignorant of Islamic principles and has never really taken the time to gain knowledge.
He seems to be the kind of person that would be willing to say I made a mistake or miss spoke if he knew.
His support for Palestinians was based on ignorant grounds, just as his statements were. No one should forget, any support you get from people who don’t belong to you, is no support with true intentions.
He's an actor, why expect him to be intelligent on X? They never are & shouldn't have to be
Really had nothing to complain about today. Especially with the cleansing of Palestinians, and his outspoken support. how is this newsworthy
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.
If there is a "phobia" that makes sense, it's... 💥Islamophobia💥
Well fun fact, extreme christian theocracies are long gone, while extreme islamic theocracies still exist. Sharia law is a great example to what's being proposed: institutionalization of religious moral values-which, irrespective of which religion we're talking about, are pretty bad for civil liberties.
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.
From 911 to this bs. they never learn.
what he mentioned is not Sharia's law, we didn't have abortion and it isn't some topic at our region throughout history.
