Do you have any idea how many Muslims are in this world, you are still only talking about a small percentage.

how does any of that change the fact that Islam is diverse and changes from group to group? obviously all Muslims don't interpret these laws the same way. one simply needs to compare various groups of Muslims. sounds a lot like Christianity to me.
Islam has a true legal system. Christianity does not.

Reading passages from the Bible is just that.
There are no Catholic courts that decree "stoning".

All these religions REFORMED. Those Bible stories are now just stories, not the law of the land.

You cannot say the same for Islam. Their religion is their law and they carry out that law with stoning and torture and execution.

The Imams in charge need to renounce the blasphemy laws. They need to REFORM and move themselves into the 21st century.

Stoning, cutting off hands, etc. have all worked their way out of other religions.

Those laws never applied to a CHRISTIAN nation. These laws were under a HEBREW THEOCRACY. Why does everyone make this error?

So which of the 10 commandments you disagree with? I guess it's the evil "Thou shalt not kill".

I'm sorry. You are correct. I was just trying to point out that the Bible is not the law of the land for Christians and I wasn't being absolutely correct in doing it.

I'm tired of posters saying "Well the Bible says..." trying to equate Christianity with Islam and their Quran.

There is no Christian equivalent to Sharia courts doling out Roman Empire style punishments on people.

YOUR choice. Not mine. Before you move there, I'd learn a little about their human rights violations first -- especially if you stand for ANYTHING. Of course, if you don't have any values, it may not matter.

it has only been a few hundred years, not since biblical days, that the Catholic church has not controlled the legal system in many European countries. you don't know what you are talking about. and again all Muslim majority countries are not all run the same based on some Muslim code of law. Can you source this code? And here's a perfect example of a secular country with a Muslim majority , Iraq. well it was until we invaded it.
