Do you think Islamic law is crazy?

Islamic law is insane. It defies things written in our very constitution about cruel and unsual punishment. However, we're taught to be tolerant of those who are not....  yeah right!!! I can't be tolerant of those who senselessly kill innocents simply because they don't subscribe to Islamic fuct up beliefs. That being said... as much as I want to continue to kick right-wing islamic terrorists @$$es, the best thing we can do is prove to them on a daily basis that we're better than them. Vote Republican because you believe in what you're voting for. Don't vote for them because they want to continue war...vote because you can!

If your Muslim, the answer, is universally YES. Now, look at how exposed I am here, someone need only say "I am Muslim and I believe human law comes first"...this would kill my argument because I make a categorical claim...I am saying all Muslims would always chose their law first in any conflict scenario. Every one.

If you mean Texans as "Waco-like" Christians then yeah, I can see your point, but I must point out, all Texans aren't crazy.  Don't know too much about Kirachi Muslims though.  I should modify this by saying that they are probably not crazy either.\n\nThese people scare me.  They take control of others (usually those who are susceptible to mind manipulation)and twist them to do acts they won't normally do.  What bothers me is they confirm a stereotype people have of the two faiths; as a Christian people accuse me of being part of those extereme fundamentalists, and I assume it's the same for Muslims.

i'm in awe....i am not a muslim...and i have never really taken the time to find out anything more about the religion than what i hear on the news or even here on 'yahoo answers"......however if this is really part of the muslim faith......then i think that it is definitely wrong and of pedophile material......CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.....

Not exactly perverse but definitely extreme IMHO. As Muslims we submit completely to Allah and we do not fall slave/servant to anything or anyone else in this world - that even means the PS3, TMX Elmo (which is going for like $5000 on ebay!), and all other kinds of material things. I know it's not like people are worshipping these things but they might as well since they pretty much slaves to their own desires.  Sure there are things I want but I'm not stupid enough to go to that extreme. It's not wrong in Islam to want things. It's when people get carried away that it becomes wrong.

Hello Hashi,\n  OK call me crazy if you wish, BUT, all I know is if I lived in a neighborhood where everyone around me has a gun (bomb?) and one of them has been in a continual gun battle with one of my religious brothers (Palestine / Israel.) Then there's the other one that invaded my next door neighbors house to steal all his valuables (oil,political freedom,will) (US / Iraq) and to add insult to injury, he's not even from around here to begin with! Yeah call me crazy! I definitely would want my own gun. Wait a minute, they DO call me crazy!\n\nAs a side note, I think we should not be so damn cozy with Pakistan either, it appears that the Musharraf's Mob is playing serious games with us, both on the capture of bin Laden and the sale of nuclear secrets to not only Iran, but also Libya and North Korea.

This absolutely not true! And I'm surprised the BBC broadcast this... I had a look on their website...and there was no trace of this story.. probably because it was baseless..\n\nSo let me tell you a little about the origins of this story..\n\nIt was first published in Canada Post on May 19th based on a story given by Anti-Iranian exiles, about a bill that has passed through the Iranian parliament about a new dress code. \nThis bill was first suggested in 2004..but then got stalled....The bill only calls for stricter regulations for the hijab..and mentions nothing about any distinctions for different religions\n\nThe Canadian post has now back tracked on it's claims..and they have been public statements from Iran (including Iranian Jewish MP's denying any truth to this rumour..\n\n\n\nOK I will add a little from personal experience. \nAs you know in Iran it is compulsory for all  women to wear a hijab. In recent years this as been very lax ..and you will see women on the street wearing tight fitting clothes, and head scarfs that show alot of law..and nobody bothers them...this bill is meant to combat it (also it mentions a men's hijab - no tee-shirts or long hair) But what is likely to happen is that there will be a periodical crack downs. Then everything goes back to normal because this law is really unpopular.\n\n It is bad because it denys women the hope that one day the hijab law will be abolished. But I really don't think the law will be sucessful in making everyone wear the same clothes. All women hate that too much!\n\nAs for freedom of religion..Iran respects that very much. There are many churches and synogogues. And every religous and national minority has a quota seats in parliament reserved for them. The Christian minority for example even has a special mixed sports club for them..and they can drink alcohol at home..and have parties with mixed dancing All these things are banned for muslims in Iran but not for religious minorities. And the police are much more tolerant of Christian girls floughting the dress code then muslim girls.

it is rather disgusting and I believe that it goes to show that Islam is a religon of evil and should be outlawed.\nAnything that spews hatred should be outlawed. Its not communism in any way. As murder and segregation is outlawed because its obviously acts of hatred; so should Islam.

The laws are barbaric and extremely unfair. Actually, islamic law is rather barbaric. Nevertheless, the reason its barbaric is not because its islamic neccesarily. The reason its barbaric to us today is because these laws are ancient, dating millenia ago. While the laws in the rest of the world evolved through revolutions and were subject to the democratic process. The islamic law being fabricated in the islamc religion was a dogma and was not open to questioning. Questioning the law in islam is questioning allah and is considered unacceptable. However questioning the law in western societies is acceptable and therefore the law is evolving. I need to stress that it was the greeks 4000 before christ that developed democracy and a system where questioning the law was encouraged not punished.   4000 years ago most northern europeans were doing human sucrifises in line with the pre islamics (zoroastrians) who were quite barbaric.  The word barbaric by the way is a Greek word for bar bar ros  meaning the person that speaks bar bar and it refered to people of ancient germany who had a language that sounded like bar bar bar to the ancient greeks. The negative connotations associated with the word were developed because of the primitive brutal and uncivilised behaviour of those pre-germanic tribes.  So Western civilisation (Greek ideals) is very much different than islamic civilisation (dogma based)  Islamic countries are like Christian countries of the 17th century where religion was law.        \n\nMany muslims have argued against their laws but are condemed as sinners and end up tortured and in jail.  In the end of the day religions can be intepreted in any way possible.

I have no idea, but the Pakistani "Shariah law" on the surface looks like Islamic law but differs quite a bit. They Islamic court admitted that the man killed the taxi driver in self defence. However they still decide to hang him because the family would not except the blood money. This would not be the case in Islam blood money is offered in case of accidents i.e. if Dick Cheney would have killed his friend on the hunting trip. And the man would have have been free.\n\nThere are many other laws in which Pakistani Islamic courts differ from what is prescribed in their religion.

My sister, please read carefully because I am an Egyptian ex-Muslim and Islam is my nightmare. Conversion is the most terrible thing for your future. You will not be able to change your religion and if you try you will be abused and threatened like you never dreamed. Killing ex-Muslims is an Islamic law. Ex-Muslims who cannot be killed are beaten, imprisoned, kidnapped, put on hit lists, or spurned by their family and friends. Most of them keep their Islamic names and religion. I must keep mine after what my parents did to me. Your rights as a Muslim woman will be very different and you will not be able to marry a non-Muslim. Ex-Muslims are in danger and this is why the world’s biggest anti-Islamic group is led not by Westerners or Zionists but ex-Muslims. You know little about Islam and you will learn good things as well as things that will shock you.  Please write me at bringdowntoearth@yahoo.com if you have questions about this. \n\n*I am a peaceful and respectful person and I have many Muslim friends. No offence. These are all facts.
