Shariah: Is it "barbaric"?

[Zen Badger]

...Don't you ever just have a sliver of doubt about that "peaceful" religion you so defend???

No this religion is perfect.

No system is perfect, because the minute people are involved it is immediately fucked.

Let me give you an example....

if you read the book "One second after"

You'll find that after a certain disaster hits a small community, the mayor implements marshal law to keep the community safe once the food shortages occurs.

So basically they implement food rationing and give certain people in the community more rations than others. They implemented death sentences to punish thieves! Essentially 4-5 people wasting time in the mayor's office to think long and hard to come up with the right laws that can protect the community. And to be honest I think much of the laws they implemented was flawed. For example, many citizens just couldn't take it and they killed themselves. Others became cannibalistic...etc.

"Shariah law" however has the perfect balance of laws that will protect the community during both the rough times and the good times.

I fail to see the point of this book in relation to what you're trying to say.
