You don't even have a good grasp on what Shari'ah is.

It's quite simply Islamic jurisprudence. However you like to characterize it, it's a practice of law that unwisely merges religon and law. You can be as techical as you like with me, nitpick aspects of your law. But, frankly, I'd rather prefer my civil liberties over being dictated on what I should eat or wear.

But, hey. It's your view man, just as much as I have a right to my view. And, as far as I kmow, I think humanity is coming at the stage where religion has no role in any state function.

I honestly really don't care what you eat or wear. Shariah will still exist even if it's seperate from the state. I don't care if you automatically associate Shari'ah with "Ooga Booga muh Stone age legalism!" It's just not the case. It's Just Gods laws and codes. Every major religion is like that.


Someone is quite upset.

Well, Shariah seems to care. otherwise, i'd be allowed to drink alcohol and eat Pork in both Iran, Saudi Arabia and any country with Shariah.

You are right. Every major religion is like that, no one is saying otherwise right now. But we are talking about Islam, and frankly, Shariah law is no different from the laws that the Catholic Church would impose on "Christendom." It is backwards, and has no place in Liberal Democracies.

I frankly don't see why you're trying to humanise it. It is an old law, and it needs to be replaced with a new, modern and secular law based on humanist, liberal principles.

Not religious ones.

iranians don't follow Wahabbi schools of thought, and their government is considered to extremist. So what's your point? Wahhabi Islam isn't the only form of extremism in Islamic ideology. All sects have hardliners and these sects have become radically politicised in the Middle East. Its getting better in some places (e.g: iran, Jordan), albeit with slow progress.

Religion and its sects need to be kept separate from politics and state matters. That is the only way you gurrauntue liberalism and better freedoms. Religion has a role in private worship and even charitable works, but that should be it.

Otherwise, it will lead to dogmatism and supremacist views on Religion.

Islamic Fundamentalism in general.

Salafism is not a sect.

I use them most often because they are the most prominent at this point in time. Khomeinists and Qutbists are just as bad, but much smaller in number and, to be frank, influence.

No, its a sect within a sect, albeit a movement that promotes mysticism and has a more liberal alignment to science. Nevertheless, its not secular or liberal socially.

Now, i am not liberalism is ultimately the best. It has its flaws, but it allows civil liberties. The right to choose who you want to marry, love, worship, vote for, report on, dress as, etc.

As far as i am aware, no other form of Islam does that....they don't have to, but ideologically, its backwards and very Conservative to the point where it curtails civil liberties.

Sufi or not, i'm quite sure they'd still kill someone for being Gay or committing apostasy.

Sorry. Got confused. Salafism is the worst of the worst when it comes to Islamic sects (or sect within a sect).

Sufism is a more refined, learned idea, but nevertheless backward.

Just because you are morally opposed to a thing and are socially conservative doesn't mean you want to kill people for it.

And theres very few people from non Salafi/Khomeinist movements that want to kill for apostasy.

Well, in the case of Shariah law, which is what most sects in islam do follow, you will get killed for crimes such as apostasy and violating their 'moral' code.

All sects in Islam follow Shari'ah. As Shari'ah is just...God's commandments. You can follow gods commandments from whatever direction you will.
According to what school, creed and movement you take, you have a different way of Islamic law.

In Traditional Islam and Liberal alike, there have been loads of explanations for the subject and lack of worldly punishment for apostasy.

Agreed. But you do not start to yell "Islamaphobia ! The west is intolerant" either without first looking at the figures.

If for instance there are 2 counts of violent hatecrimes committed against muslims in a country this year, and 37.000 counts committed by muslims - such cries only cause the general population to be annoyed.
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease.
It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

Agreed. But you do not start to yell "Islamaphobia ! The west is intolerant" either without first looking at the figures.

If for instance there are 2 counts of violent hatecrimes committed against muslims in a country this year, and 37.000 counts committed by muslims - such cries only cause the general population to be annoyed.

And blaming the attacks on Muslims in general instead of getting to the root of the problem is going to help, how?

Every time theres a Nazi Rally or shooting or attempted coup I don't demand all right wing people to be viewed as absolute burdens on the progress of the human species.

You may want to say the country, and give a source, as otherwise it looks like your lying and pulling numbers out of your ass.
