The defence in favour of Sharia law illustrate why religion has no place in politics. It is a clear violation of the principles of the separation of church and state and of the independence of the judiciary.
Is Sharia law barbaric?
Not a complicated question:
(1)Do women have equal rights under Sharia law, such as say custody rights in divorce?
(2) Does Sharia law allow for capital punishment for say adultery and apostasy? Does it allow for the maiming of people for any crime? Are such penalties still EVER carried out?
It is my understanding that the answer to (1) is 'no' and to (2) is 'yes' .IF that is the case then in my opinion,Sharia law is unjust,barbaric and cruel.
However,I have no right to tell another country what legal system it should use and frankly don't care. Nor does another have any right to impose their beliefs on others. Militant Muslims who want Sharia law for everyone, believer and kafir, scare and infuriate me, just as would that skid mark on the underpants of society, Fred Phelps, if he ever got any power.
