Islamophobia is alive and well. The phrase "creeping Sharia law" - which is a theory that Muslims want to take over the world by spreading Islamic laws - is just one example of the intensity of the hate.
Twitter user @BarryStanton64 recently proved this very fact, with a tweet.
"If all these Muslims want there Shakira law in this country ... why don't they f**k off back to India [sic]," the user, which seems to be a parody account, wrote in a tweet.
Of course, people couldn't help but respond. A flood of jokes soon followed.
First, Shakira is from Columbia. Not India.
