"Sharia law makes a lot of sense" - Linda Sarsour

[CapnAwesome]

Sharia is still shit. Also thats just until they can replace those laws. The bible says something similar. Why a feminist or an atheist would defend sharia law is beyond me.

The opening post of this was incorrect about sex with prepubescent girls or female genital mutilation being part of sharia, but capital punishment and things like the cutting off of hands are part of it.

Sharia law sucks. There is no good defense for it. Pointing out a tiny part of it that doesn't suck doesn't make it good any more than putting chocolate in a shit sandwich makes it delicious.

The Bible may say something similar, and yet plenty of Christian still nevertheless have varying interpretations of Biblical/Mosaic law. It's the same thing with Muslims and Sharia. For some Muslims, it simply means nothing more than justice.

So what? Millions of people have to live under shitty sharia law, where you can be executed for minor offenses and for being an atheist, by the way. So it does exisit, in reality, not hypothetically like mosaic law, which isn't used anywhere any more.

So whether or not some Muslims ignore that for a more moderate interpretation is irrelevant. They would get their hands chopped off for stealing in Iran the same as everyone else. As long as it gets even a modicum of respect from anyone, the fundamentalist version will always be able to pop up again. Also defending it to me, an atheist, by saying 'oh yeah, the bible does the same!' Makes no sense. Biblical law is shitty too! I would be in literal physical revolt if the government tried to implement it. Just because other people want to try to feed me one shit sandwich doesn't make sharia any less of a shit sandwich.

How can any atheist defend sharia? It's a religious law code!! What the fuck?
