Shariah: Is it "barbaric"?

[Zen Badger]

As I mentioned earlier, anyone can pick out the most negative evidence to prove a point. What you choose to do is to select incidents in poverty-stricken nations where the people are living under extreme tyranny.

Why don't you take a look at the republic of Congo with secular laws, a caravan of 200 men travel to nearby cities and rape any human they find:

And this proves that Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance and equality how???

Similarly, there is absolutely nothing you can say that can ever justify the punishments that the children and women of Waco, Texas felt in 1993.

Yet another example of religious fundie whackjobs.
Not much of an argument R, we're atheists here> we don't care for any sort of religion.

Once again, stoning is a rare occurrence........ in fact such a punishment is not really mentioned in the Quran.

Amnesty International and similar organisations think otherwise, and I'll believe what they say over you.

When it occurs, it is usually in nations/cultures that are living under tyranny. These people are suppressed and take it out on one another. This kind of stuff happens in any nation/culture that is suffering economically and socially.

No, actually, it is happening under theocratic tyrannies.
And whilst the koran might not mention stoning, it is a hadith.

Isn't it........
