"The Criminal laws never fully developed and typically an Islamic Nation will use either secular criminal dodes or local customs."
No, as I have proved, quite a few Muslim countries use shariah law for criminals.
" there is no nation that actually uses Sharia criminal law although most Islamic Nations do use Sharia Civil Laws."
No, as I have proved, quite a few Muslim countries use shariah law for criminals.
Every country I listed uses shariah law for criminal law to some degree. Further:
Until 1999, Islamic law applied primarily to civil matters, but twelve of Nigeria’s thirty-six states have since extended Sharia to criminal matters.[162] Sharia courts can order amputations, and a few have been carried out.[163] The twelve sharia states are Zamfara, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Sokoto and Yobe.[164]
The court system comprises Sharia courts and civil courts. Judicial corporal punishment is a legal form of punishment in UAE due to the Sharia courts. Flogging is used in UAE as a punishment for criminal offences such as adultery, premarital sex and prostitution.[129] In most emirates, floggings of Muslims are frequent, especially for adultery, prostitution and drunkenness, with sentences ranging from 80 to 200 lashes.[168][169] Between 2007 and 2013, many people were sentenced to 100 lashes.[129][170][171][172][173][174][175][176] Moreover, in 2010 and 2012, several Muslims were sentenced to 80 lashes for alcohol consumption.[177][178] Under UAE law, premarital sex is punishable by 100 lashes.[179] Stoning is a legal form of judicial punishment in UAE. In 2006, an expatriate was sentenced to death by stoning for committing adultery.[180] Between 2009 and 2013, several people were sentenced to death by stoning.[173][181][182] In May 2014, an Asian housemaid was sentenced to death by stoning in Abu Dhabi.[183][184][185] Sharia law dictates the personal status law, which regulate matters such as marriage, divorce and child custody. The Sharia-based personal status law is applied to Muslims and sometimes non-Muslims.[186] Non-Muslim expatriates are liable to Sharia rulings on marriage, divorce and child custody.[186] Sharia courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear family disputes, including matters involving divorce, inheritances, child custody, child abuse and guardianship of minors. Sharia courts may also hear appeals of certain criminal cases including rape, robbery, and related crimes.[167] Apostasy is a crime punishable by death in the UAE. UAE incorporates hudud crimes of Sharia into its Penal Code – apostasy being one of them.[187] Article 1 and Article 66 of UAE's Penal Code requires hudud crimes to be punished with the death penalty,[187][188] therefore apostasy is punishable by death in the UAE. Emirati women must receive permission from male guardian to remarry.[189] The requirement is derived from Sharia, and has been federal law since 2005.[189] In all emirates, it is illegal for Muslim women to marry non-Muslims.[190] In the UAE, a marriage union between a Muslim woman and non-Muslim man is punishable by law, since it is considered a form of "fornication".[190]

There is not one sharia Criminal court in the world. Yes there are nations that claim to follow2 sharih criminal law, but they don't especially not any of the Mideastern Nations.
Have no fear of true Shariah as Shariah law can only be forced upon Muslims. It can not be used for non-Muslims.
I really doubt you will ever find a Muslim who would desire to force you to accept Islam. It would benefit no one and actually harm both you and Islam. Besides forced conversion is an impossibility.To revert to Islam one needs to submit fully to Allaah(swt) with sincerity and of their own free will.
While it might be possible to force you to say you are Muslim, that would not make you a Muslin, plus no one would gain a thing from doing so.
"Have no fear of true Shariah as Shariah law can only be forced upon Muslims. It can not be used for non-Muslims."
Nonsense. I find an example within 15 seconds of research:
"Banda Aceh, Indonesia - Muslims and non-Muslims alike are now subject to strict Islamic law in the conservative province of Aceh.
It is the only one of Indonesia's 34 provinces to impose Islamic law in the most populous Muslim-majority nation in the world, with a population of about 250 million people.
Aceh province implemented Islamic law in 2001, but in September the religious "penal code" was extended to everyone, now applying to some 90,000 non-Muslims who live there.
Offences not previously regulated such as adultery, homosexual acts, and sex outside marriage are now punishable with sentences handed down by Islamic courts, including public flogging. Buying or carrying alcoholic beverages could result in 10 strokes of the cane, 10 months in prison, or a maximum fine of 100 grams in gold.
Amnesty International has expressed concern over the law and has called for an end to caning in Aceh, saying it goes against international laws on torture and human rights, as well as Indonesia's own constitution."
"What Sharia law may bring for non-Muslims in Brunei
Published: May 1, 2014
Punishments such as flogging, the cutting of limbs and being stoned to death will be phased in over time."
The new Islamic penalties will be introduced over time, at least another year or two, and will eventually include severe bodily punishments, such as: flogging for adultery, cutting of limbs for theft, and stoning to death for rape and sodomy.
The first phase includes laws for offences against eating or drinking in public during Islam’s fasting month, which are punishable by fines and imprisonment.
Parts of the law also apply to non-Muslims. In February, Sharia law experts from the Ministry of Religious Affairs announced that non-Muslims could be punished for wearing indecent clothing that ‘disgraces Islam’. The offender could be jailed for up to six months, fined a maximum penalty of BN$ 2,000 (US$ 1,600), or both. Even now, it is mandatory for women of all religions—including Christians—to wear a hijab (head covering) if they work for the government or are attending official functions. However, now that the Sharia penal code is enacted, a violation against these religious instructions will be criminalized."

What you are showing is not Shariah. To be Shariah it must adhere to one of the 4 Madhabs and to impose Shariah is not in accordance with any of the 4 Madhabs. I will agree they are calling it sharia, but it is Wahhabi, not Sharia.
Quote:
Shariah Law: The Five Things Every Non-Muslim (and Muslim) Should Know
1. What does Shariah mean?
Shariah is the law of the Qur'an and literally means "A path to life giving water." In fact, the word Yarrah (i.e. the root of the Hebrew word Torah) means precisely the same thing. Therefore, Shariah is actually ingrained in Abrahamic tradition.
Shariah is comprised of five main branches: adab (behavior, morals and manners), ibadah (ritual worship), i'tiqadat (beliefs), mu'amalat (transactions and contracts) and 'uqubat (punishments). These branches combine to create a society based on justice, pluralism and equity for every member of that society. Furthermore, Shariah forbids that it be imposed on any unwilling person. Islam's founder, Prophet Muhammad, demonstrated that Shariah may only be applied if people willingly apply it to themselves--never through forced government implementation.
Look, first you say: "The Criminal laws never fully developed and typically an Islamic Nation will use either secular criminal dodes or local customs."
I prove you wrong.... quite a few Muslim countries use shariah law for criminals. I give the examples.
Then you say: " there is no nation that actually uses Sharia criminal law although most Islamic Nations do use Sharia Civil Laws."
Still wrong. Quite a few Muslim countries use shariah law for criminals.
Then you say : "Have no fear of true Shariah as Shariah law can only be forced upon Muslims. It can not be used for non-Muslims."
My wish, if everyone was a Muslim or not, has no effect on anything.
If God wanted, he would have made everyone a Muslim or a Hindu or a Christian or a Jew or whatever, but God didn't. So I am good with God's plan where everyone has a free choice and free will to follow or not to follow any faith. And in the end, we will be responsible for our choice.
If someone is genuinely interested in finding more information about Islam, and asks me a question in this regard, I will most definitely answer him to my knowledge and in my heart I pray to God, to show the righteous path to such a person but I have absolutely no interest in enforcing my faith upon anyone. It's simply a fruitless endeavor, IMO.
So, I don't really wish if everyone was a Muslim or not a Muslim. It's not for me to worry about; however, I personally believe that this is Allah's biggest favor to me and all my family that he made us from the group of those who believe in the oneness of Allah and his last and final prophet Muhammad (saw), and all the prophets before him (saw) including Jesus, Moses, Abraham. They were all the most righteous men who are placed at the highest echelon of humanity.
There is no bigger favor than that, I truly can't thank Allah enough.
I am firm that my belief in the teaching of Islam has only gone stronger after I travelled around the world, and watched folks of different backgrounds following different faiths or no faith. After examining various other faiths, I came to the conclusion that PERSONALLY, the message of Islam talks the best to ME!

because I find Islam to be really fake. The Qurans Claims - - that Islamic Gospels have already come and already eXisted and that The Old testament / Gospels - Confirms the Quran.
And islam Demands that the Message of Islam - BEFORE MOHAMMUD. - Had been ALREADY been given to All people of all Languages all around the World. BEFORE MOHAMMUD. Came.
But we do not find any evidence of this.
A person is best understanding truth - if they can conclude that since the Quran Lies and Tells Untruths and Contradicts the Bible and World history itself. We Put all the pieces together and see that Islam has no Truth..
Every single available source on earth says that Abraham was not a Muslim .. There were no Muslims or islamic Teachings. The Bible is clear. The Covenant was not For ishmael nor his Seed.
And there are no Known ishmaelites who have ever followed the God of Abraham. Before 700 AD.
The ishmaelites are Gone just as God Promised in His Word / Scriptures. The Bible is saying that God would Destroy the Ishmaelites.
Today there is no Historical Evidence of any Ishmaelites Ever present on earth * ( Outside the bible. While the Quran is basing its claims on the Idea that God restored His message through ishmaelites. There is no Proof that Mohammud was from ishmael. Everything Mohammud taught was Prophecy, Spiritual Revelations and messages given by a spirit. With No SCRIPTURES and no HISTORY before Him to Confirm His REVELATIONS>.
The Gospels and the Torah do not even know about any Muslims
Remember Muslims would teach the Message of the Quran and of Mohammud. But the Scriptures do not teach this message. It Denies the message of the Quran....= - there have never been any Scriptures anywhere on earth that are Islamic Gospels or Texts.
My good friend - I know eXactly what Islam Teaches and Claims.
I am finding muslims to be somewhat fake and always Unreliable. The muslims insists that because Jesus Christ Never Stated the Phraze *( I am God ) This is evidence that he was not God. ... However Mohammud never stated the Phraze. *( I am a Prophet )\
Jesus Christ himself, *( In His OWN WORDS ) Declared in many, many Ways to be God Almighty.
Just as Mohhamud declared Himself to be a Prophet. Without saying *( I am a Prophet.)
I am finding muslims to be somewhat fake and Unreliable and the wish that all people were muslims is not my wish.
