It is irresponsible and an insult to women to even consider it.

>The issue is there are many implementations of the sharia and in most countries it is just a sub law while the whole country still is secular. did you read the article on the whole and read what it does handle and does not? the variations of implementation? Just yelling sharia is not going to tell you anything unless you talk about which implementation.
>
>
>And agian, I'm not a forstander of the sharia, just because of human rights. I would hate to see somthing backward replacing our current laws. Did you read the implementation in Ontario ?? Not that I'm a forestander of that, but by no means it is going to undermine the current government.
>
>And the statment donner made was just making a case for how democracy works. If 2/3rd of the country wants something to be implemented, then it can be implemented unless it violates the current laws. Taking the example of the sharia was not a wise choice as the underbelly feelings about discrimination took over. People generally are over-sensative and don't read or try to understand issues before they raise their voice. Sad but true.

>>
>>According to most interpretations, authorization for the husband to physically discipline disobedient wives is given in the Qur'an. First, admonishment is verbal, and secondly a period of refraining from intimate relations. Finally, if the husband deems the situation appropriate, he may hit her.
>>
>>In most interpretations of Shariah, conversion by Muslims to other religions is forbidden and is termed apostasy. Muslim theology equates apostasy to treason, and in most interpretations of shariah, the penalty for apostasy is death.>>
>>In most interpretations of Sharia, the death penalty is applied for homosexual acts. According to the opinions of scholars, acceptable means of performing the execution included burning, throwing from tall buildings, and stoning.
>>
>>Sunni Islamic law allows husbands to divorce their wives at will, by clearly saying talaq ("I divorce you"). The divorce becomes permanent if the couple has been divorced three times.
>>
>>In accordance with the Qur'an and several hadith, theft is punished by imprisonment or amputation of hands or feet, depending on the number of times it was committed.

>>>>>It might also not hurt to have some background to what the sharia means and what it does and does not cover and how it coexists with the regular laws. You also have to keep in mind that there are as many flavours of the sharia as there are countries having this installed.

>>>>Why Sharia Law must be Opposed
>>>>
>>>>The Sharia should be opposed for its imposition of theocracy over democracy, its abuse of human rights, its institutionalized discrimination, its denial of human dignity and individual autonomy, its punishment of alternative lifestyle choices, and for the severity of its punishments.
>>>>
