Does this "Archbishop" cock have a fucking clue what sharia law is? Sure, it covers the most mundane of things such as property disputes, etc. ~but~ it also calls for punishments EXACTLY like the ones so many people are whining and crying about here in the states. (just one example is the loss of a limb for stealing).
There are a litany of sharia laws that degrade the value of women's rights in society; rights to property,rights to file complaints against males (family, spouses or otherwise).

Plus: The Top Ten Reasons Sharia Law is bad for Any society:
1. Islam commands offensive and aggressive and unjust jihad.
2. Islam orders apostates to be killed. (Ex.In Iran an academic was condemned to death for criticizing clerical rule in Iran. The rulers assert that he was insulting Muhammad and Shi'ite laws. He was charged with apostasy.
3. Islam orders death for Muslim and possible death for non—Muslim critics of Muhammad and the Quran and even sharia itself.
4. Islam orders unmarried fornicators to be whipped and adulterers to be stoned to death.
5. Islam commands that homosexuals must be executed.
6. Islam commands that highway robbers should be crucified or mutilated.
7. Islam commands that a male and female thief must have a hand cut off.
8. Islam allows an injured plaintiff to exact legal revenge—physical eye for physical eye.
9. Islam allows husbands to hit their wives even if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives.
10. Islam commands that drinkers and gamblers should be whipped. |
The thing that's just not clicking for me is this:
Virtually everything listed here stands in direct opposition to the typical lib viewpoint on each of these issues. So, why is it that libs I talk to think there's no reason why the muslims should not be allowed to enact sharia law wherever they live.
