i argued many times in many forums about sharia in islam .
but all of them focused on why we impose islamic laws on nonmuslims
so i want for this discussion to be quite different here
my question is , if sharia law not contradict with commands of God of other relegions , why you deny it ?
is it because it's islamic ? or because it's issues oppose your relegion ?
I would say that I am against Sharia Law as I find it inhumane.
The penalties for women are especially harsh, even more so when you consider that men get off so much easier. And there is a lot of room built into Sharia Law for men to twist it to their advantage. Stoning women? Burqas? Hanging gays? No, to me it isn't that it is Islam based or even that infidels (like myself) would probably be killed under Sharia Law, I dislike it because it is unfair and brutal.

but punishment for men and women are the same in islam , why did you think that it's for men advantage ?
buraq ? no relations between it and sharia
hanging gays ? it's sin under sharia but its punishment not determined in quran or sunna , so it leaved for the schoolars to determine it , but it isn't a death , beside it will be need four witness to excute the punishment , we didnt need for these behaviour to spread in the society of muslims .

I can appreciate a moral code. I have said before and I say again that I wish the US would scale back from all of the sex and violence satuarating our society.
What I mean by that men have it easier then women under Sharia Law (and please correct me if I'm mistaken) is that a womans word is not as good as a mans. Regardless of situation or station in life. An example would be that a woman would need 3 or 4 witnesses to her rape in order to prosecute the rapist. And if believed, she will still be punished! That is not right. Also, I don't like that under Sharia Law a man has the right to beat his wife. That is just wrong, and surely you can see where such a law could be taken to its extreme?
Perhaps this is not an example of Sharia Law and if it isn't, please correct me.....but the pictures of children having their arms crushed as punishment for stealing....
In thinking more about it, it isn't so much the actual laws that I find offensive(although there are a few that I find quite offensive), it is the brutality shown to those who break the laws. No mercy shown and no quarter given. These things together make me think that living under Sharia Law would be very stressful and frightening. How easy for a jealous neighbor to accuse your wife of adultery, or your son of stealing. Too much meaness, not enough forgiveness.
If I'm in a Muslim country and I don't want to follow Allah, I want to follow anyone but him, what happens to me?
I understand that this example is a few years old, but the mentality is still the same.
Afghanistan, August 24, 2001 - "Seven months ago, Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar declared over Radio Shariat that the death penalty would be imposed on any Afghan who converted to Christianity or Judaism, and that "any non-Muslim found trying to win converts will also be killed." A senior spokesman for the regime elaborated on the January 8 edict, alleging that "certain foreigners" in the country were trying secretly to convert Afghans to Christianity."
Has this mentality changed?
Why can't Muslim country's tolerate Christianity? What are they afraid of?
If I had an actual sharia law book I'm sure we'd see more stuff like this. If this stuff is just from wacky mis-guided type of people, please set me straight.
The reason I'm against sharia law is because it's their life and it's their right to do what they want. If they don't want to follow it, then that's their wish and someone else's views of what they should do with their life or body.

Islamic legal scholars interpret rape as a crime in the category of Hiraba. In ‘Fiqh-us-Sunnah’, hiraba is described as: ‘a single person or group of people causing public disruption, killing, forcibly taking property or money, attacking or raping women (hatk al ‘arad), killing cattle, or disrupting agriculture.’
The famous jurist, Ibn Hazm, had the widest definition of hiraba, defining a hiraba offender as: ‘One who puts people in fear on the road, whether or not with a weapon, at night or day, in urban areas or in open spaces, in the palace of a caliph or a mosque, with or without accomplices, in the desert or in the village, in a large or small city, with one or more people… making people fear that they’ll be killed, or have money taken, or be raped (hatk al ‘arad)… whether the attackers are one or many."
Rape as hiraba is a violent crime that uses sexual intercourse as a weapon. The focus in a hiraba prosecution is the accused rapist and his intent and physical actions, and not second-guessing the consent of the rape victim. Hiraba does not require four witnesses to prove the offense, circumstantial evidence, medical data and expert testimony form the evidence used to prosecute such crimes.

man hasn't right to beat his wife at all , islam respect the women and give her her rights, you must inform me an example for beating the women under sharia.
beside you must know that men have rights from women as women have rights from men , you must know the rights which islam give to women and rights which gaved to men also before judging in this issue.
about punishment of children , i don't think that childrens are being punished under sharia

as you said , brutality shown to those who break the law , it's not shown to nonmuslims and not shown to the soceity
about the mercy , it's exist in sharia . but the only one who can give this mercy is the person be harmed by the guilty one

he must have 4 witness to claim the adultery on anyone , if he havn't witnesses , so he himself will be bunished
from quran 4 - And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations), flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;

this mentality in the first place not exist in quran or sunnah (history of the prophet )
there is one hadeeth and only one , when our prophet said to his followers "who change his relegion kill him "
because of this hadeeth some muslims made conclusions that anyone apostate from islam must be die .
others said that it's not right , they said that this command was a reaction for specific situation , because in first years of islam jews were enter to islam one after another then suudenly they apostate together for spread doupts between new muslims , so that this hadeeth was a reaction for their actions

i don't know what can i say ? i excuse you because these information are spreading widely in the west
