    What exactly is so bad? Our own justice system has incarcerated more people than any other nation, all based on legalized slavery through the 13th Amendment.

    Who are you to act superior?

      The killing mostly? Death for leaving Islam, death for adultry, etc. Btw the US system being shit is not a defense of sharia.

        These are only two laws imported from judaism into islam but nobody would criticise judaism. And besides sharia also include laws that forbid climate destruction that actually kills more people today, it also mandates wealth tax that directly affect wealth inequality.

        Regarding death penalty, it is forbiden in sharia to snoop on people. Like you don’t go around looking for people to kill, and all the scholars agree it is better to leave someone guilty than to punish an innocent one. So only repeated offenders are caught and even then they are supposed to be given guidance first, and let go. They can also flee the society after that and they shouldn’t be pursued. Only the people who stay firm in their disobedience are punished.

        And I completely understand you may think even that is unjustifiable. But understand that it is because of how our modern society is today. Roughly 2 out of 3 people in germany commit adultery at least once similar numbers in france. Lying and cheating are not only accepted but justified if its not against the law.

        Ofcourse, those laws in sharia can not be applied today but it is way more than just “sharia law wants to kill people”

          Who said anything about creeping sharia? Don’t put words in my mouth, nobody with any brains is worried about sharia in the US. But no, honor killings are fake news, you’re so right!

                It’s not whataboutism, it’s rhetoric. I’m pointing out that you are picking and choosing.

                  Wrong. I responded to the question “what’s so bad about sharia”. I didn’t pick the topic of this thread.

          sorry dude, people get all edgy on these topics. it happens to those who have never confronted their own biases and are unaware of them.

            People who capitalize the word “atheist” and make it their entire identity always seem to be massive islamaphobes. When Richard Dawkins said he was a “Cultural Christian” I threw up a little in my mouth.

              Yeah. A hard core atheist is no different than a tankie, evangelical, angry vegan, sovereign citizen or PETA activist. There are people who never develop an identity and take on an external locus instead.

                  I’ve never heard anyone call themselves that before. I probably should have qualified it with something instead of leaving it as a generalization.
