OK, under your interpretation of Sharia Law...
1. Do you support the death penalty for adultery or sodomy?
2. Do you believe that females should have ALL of the same rights as males?
3. Do you support stoning and beheading as legal forms of execution?
4. Do you support the amputation of limbs as punishments for crimes?
5. Do you believe that any man should be allowed to marry any woman, regardless of the tribe, sect, social status, or religion of either person?
6. At what age to you believe women should be allowed to get married?
7. What evidence is required to convict a man of rape? what is his punishment? Will the victim of the rape also be punished?
8. Is the light physical beating of one's wife permissible? If so, can women also lightly beat their husbands?
9. Would Jews, Christians, and non-religious persons have ALL of the exact same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as their Muslim neighbors under Sharia Law?
We'll start with those questions... trust me, I'm VERY interested in your modern interpretations of Sharia Law -- I really am! So please take the time to answer these questions.
Thanks ahead of time!
Mine is not a modern interpretion. In fact; the original interpretation.
1. Yes. Again it depends on a number of factors. It would probably come down to adultery in public that would get you stoned to death. As far as what goes inside a house; the state won't say anything because peeping inside people's houses is a crime in itself.
2. Both have different rights.
3. Yes
4. Limbs are not amputated. It's fingers. (For stealing for eg). I was in SA and did not see 1 amputated person.
5. Yes. Any women can marry any man she wants too. Except in the case of religion. When there are muslim women there is no need to marry others. If you believe in love you can go though the Islamic philosophy of love and I'm sure you will be surprised by what you find.
6. Depends. Generally after puberty.
7. Proof Which might be in the form of witnesses or otherwise. His punishment is lashes or stoning to death. No fault of the victim. She is free.
8. Depends. On paper it is but under exceptional circumstances. The can always take asylum with the judge and prove her case.
9. No. They don't. They have the exact same freedoms and opportunities. Rights differ; but they can do whatever they want within their communities. The rights that are limited often have to do with marriage with muslims.
If you think those are backward then to each his own. We look through different glasses. You can claim that I'm an uneducated, backward, illiterate idiot. I don't care. This is my last post on the subject.
