Unfortunately mainstream undercurrents of islamaphobia/orientalism have hijacked the english use of an arabic word "Sharia" and made it into a knee-jerk scare word.

It seems weird to pronounce that you detest it in general since it's not a monolithic thing and is more of a general concept encompassing a law tradition informed by a moral/religious framework.
