Unfortunately, the particular aspects that you have chosen to comment on have been the particular points that cause so much distrust of Sharia law in the west. Whether the distrust is primarily due to media mis-interpretation or not is not generally considered. It is so easy to find extremists spouting off about stonings, how 'immoral' western society is, etc, that many people will simply follow the media line.fattboy said:...
i just wanna try and show ppl that Islam isnt what they might think it is, if just one person thinks a bit differently and reflects on it, then thats good innit.

fattboy said:and why so much emphasis on stonings, they happen once in a blue moon and to get caught committing adultery in the sharia u'd have to be somewhat of an idiot, to be brutally honest about it.
can we just drop stonings for a bit please
Because you advocated it!fattboy said:maybe, but im not gonna lie and says Islams anything other than what i believe to be the truth

invisibleplanet said:Don't be ridiculous, fattboy. Supporting a moratorium on hudud is quite rational, and nothing to do with apostatism.

Aldebaran said:Stoning is not defensable within Shari'a Law and indeed no death sentence outed by a human ever is. The only thing you need to understand that is a shred of theological understanding of Islam (or any other religon that considers God to be the Creator of All).
Anyone who thinks to have the power to end someone's life, thus placing and valueing himself at that moment above God, makes himself guilty of blasphemy by his thoughts alone.
salaam.
The trouble is religious interpretation constantly changes to suit social and political circumstances and the balances of power in society. You can pontificate all you like about the true theological understanding that one should get from a religion, but unless that understanding is one that suits the role of that religion in its social setting and fills a need for particular classes or groups of people and/or the state, you will be forever pissing in the wind (scuse my language, vicar). It really is idealism in the true sense of the word to think otherwise.Aldebaran said:Stoning is not defensable within Shari'a Law and indeed no death sentence outed by a human ever is.
