What's wrong with Sharia?

Okay first off don't point fingers at iran and Saudia they aren't a good representitive of Sharia because 1: Iran is Shiite and Shiites changed the rules of sharia. ( added thngs like timed marriges, changed the Quran and ECT.)

So people of off topic basically what did you hear about sharia that is so crazy?

heres one thing : from wiki "Muslim theology equates apostasy to treason, and in most interpretations of sharia, the penalty for apostasy is death"

fun.

quite a bit....

but umm.. here bro you will need this

While i'm not against Sharia in settling matters of family disputes.

the word Shariah is positvely radioactive to Westerners.

In theory? Nothing that I can identify beyond a few outdated regulations; within the context of the ummah, it makes sense. In practice as it is executed by modern, fundamentalist Muslims? Absolute fail.foxhound_fox

nothing, it just sound terroristy so it must be awful.

I disagree with it......the penalties are far too severe and the government should not be involved in personal matters.LJS9502_basic

Sometimes the governemt does not get involved. It is similiar to what we have as lynchings years ago.

@mayceV: ...And if it's a Muslim doing the desecration, or Kafir? It's not so much a toleance for those of us who are not Muslim, we habir, as it is that nothing we do is of import until we come to Islam, or are made Dhimmi.

Well first off, if you look at oh.. all of human history, when religion becomes and integral part of government bad s#$% happens. ferrari2001

"You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love." Sri Chinmoy "You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." Anne Lamott "Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire." Kurt Tucholsky "When we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves." Chuck Palahniuk "We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another." Jonathan Swift

Yeah, just like one could argue the message of Christ and the bible weren't the problem in the times of the Inquisition, but that's not the point.

Whatever the "true" message or intention of a religious doctrine may be is irrelevant when the people in charge of said doctrine (be it the Catholic Church or in this case extremist Immahms or whatever they're called) abuse their power and tell everyone under their control that it's ok to treat women like animals and kill homosexuals and apostates on sight.

In my case, the biggest problem I have with Sharia is that I'm not religious, and therefore do not wish to be governed by religious laws.

nothing

what's wrong with it? How about the fact that it influences people's and government's every day lives, whether they want it to or not.

At its core, I am sure it is like any religion; it is perfectly fine practiced by the individual and among like-minded people. Religion is only a problem when thrust onto others or incorporated into government, i.e. cutting off a thieve's hands, stoning an unfaithful wife, etc.

I apply this to all religious, though; in short, keep it to yourself and your place of worship, dont bring it out into the world.

[QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"][QUOTE="mayceV"] so tell me why the islamic empire was a massive super power durring the dark ages. and how countless scientific advancments were made durring that time- many of which where built upon durring the enlightenment period. Islam didn't slow anything down infact when people stopped following it in the region, the advancments and general strength of the people stopped. so if i look at history its because Shrai stopped that the Middle east collpased into itslef.mayceV

Theres nothing at all wrong with Shaia. Its all in how its interpreted

There are absolutley brutal punishments for the smallest of things, plus women are screwed out of any rights they may have had.

I'm curious guys, what rights are women being screwed out of? It's always insteresting to see when a

Sharia is a dictatorial and oppressive system where there is no freedom to do anything. That's what wrong with it.
