    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    If a muslim country is to apply any rules it must first have freedom as the foundation for its society. (2:256) Any society needs laws that protect its citizens and allow them to live in harmony. All of us who claim to be muslims are individually answerable to God on the Day of Judgment...

    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    Sunstone what an irony; as if there is such choice when people are under the application of sharia. They can't "drive at any speed" they want they are limited by the regulations put upon them. As for accidents happening speed regulations and morality are different bags! I know what you meant...

    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    Thank you All religious injunctions are stated in the Quran. Most of them are personal (between you and God) and some would involve members of the community getting involved where the acts affect someone other than oneself. However. even with the latter the guidelines are clear.

    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    If you pay heed to my posts you would know that I have never blamed Islam (the faith) for anything. If I found Islam at fault I would not be a practicing muslim. All the examples I have used of current sharia law practiced in the muslim world go against the spirit of Islam and God's laws. If...

    Sharia Law in the UK

    I disagree with the banning of the headscarf; even though I have my personal opinions regarding the obligation of them in Islam. Women should have the right to choice whether they want or do not want to wear them and they certainly should not be excluded if they do the former.

    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    I had thought this for many years; and it didn't affect me as I had my nice little life until I started to study Islam, thanks to my family (and God) who always encouraged reflection, and from that I observed how muslims conducted themselves. The shariah is far from the teachings of the Quran...

    Does God have Favorites?

    According to the Quran we are only one better/closer to God than the rest of creation by righteous deeds. Therefore regardless of race, religion or cultural differences we are asked to learn from each other and compete in righteousness.

    Muslims I admire

    Of course discoveries have been made. As well as Nehustan's stated example on optics. Muslim scholars had already discovered information about the Earth well before Galileo - all this based on information found in the Quran. Most modern day discoveries are 'after the facts(theories)' but what...

    Why Would Anyone Choose to be Willfully Ignorant?

    I really like what Quagmire wrote. If I may add that one may choose to be ignorant to make a stand against stepping out of the comfort zone.

    Islam and Honor Killings

    Islam gives women their full civil and human rights; and that was over 1400 years ago when in most parts of the World, in that era, they were treated apallingly. Even now women have those same rights but most are unaware of them allowing men to take full advantage.

    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    Perhaps the Jewish do not under value their women like many muslims do. Within the muslim World a woman is the property of her father, then her husband and finally her son - no identity and no autonomy. Non of this is line with Quranic principles. This is most apparent when you compare the...

    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    Any muslim immigrant or muslim English man/woman should leave the UK if they feel they can't practice their faith here. I'm waiting for a contradiction between the British law system and Islam that undermines a muslim being able to practice their faith. As to your kind education on what the...

    What's wrong with Sharia Law?

    The shariah is man made. So yes, the rules & laws practiced (in the guise of a god-given shariah) in some muslim countries is way off the mark from Quranic principles No we don't need a UK shariah court all British citizens muslim & non-muslims should follow the law of the land. Give me an...
