Oh man..

The op in another thread like this stated that the framers of the constitution (basically) didn't know what sharia was.....While Thomas Jefferson was in France we had that whole N. African thing going on, The Barbary Wars(their thinking was based on sharia). He was involved in the treaties and everything that went on during that time.

Back to the point. What is the difference between Sharia and displaying the 10 commandments?

p.s. Thomas Jefferson thought the bible was a joke and eventually published his own version without all the hocuspocas. It was handed out to new members of congress for many years.

You have demonstrated some surprising notions in several threads lately. (Persians being descendants of the Turks, Jesus born in the year 1200, and your comment here just to name three). I cannot help but conclude that you need to throw your current sources away and try researching elsewhere. Unless you enjoy making yourself look like a complete fool.
What? It you silly. At me is based on a science and the facts from old books.
The first Popes knew that events did not occur 2000 years ago. I have a native calendar - 600 000 years. In Israel there is no usual constitution. There religious laws. Yes. Jesus was born in 1200 (star Explosion + a comet Galilee + an eclipse. It could only , ONLY in 1200!!!!!!!!!!). At me is: old books, old bibles, old calendars, archaeological researches, linguistic researches, astronomical... At you - the Myth, myths, myths, myths...

I found this interesting tidbit. Perhaps we could be enlightened as to what the punishments are?

Hadd crimes have fixed punishments because they are set by God and are found in the Qur’an.
No judge can change or reduce the punishment for these serious crimes.
The Hadd crimes (these are the worst level of crimes) are:

1. Murder;
2. Apostasy from Islam
3. Making war upon Allah and His messengers
4. Theft
5. Adultery
6. Defamation
7. False accusation of adultery or fornication
8. Robbery
9. Alcohol-drinking [any intoxicants, drugs]

Which popes? What exactly did they say?

Which books? What exactly are the titles?

You are out there, but show some specifics to back up what you are saying.

Yeah these are the bad ones to break. I would never want to live under Muslim rule, or sharia.

Like Merleau Ponty: WE believe but WE really don't believe. The laws existed for belief because: WE WERE AFRAID OF GOD.

Nobody wants to ask me how the Sharia Law might instead be less needed not in a Secularist World, but because of the world containing the 'golden calf', the god of virtues but not the true God... from History (which is researched so Secularistically). nevetheless, that God is one of common understanding, such as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
