"Sharia Law is the law of Islam. Sharia [also spelled 'Shariah'] is cast from the Quran, the actions and words of Muhammad, and the collective reasoning and deductions of Muslim imams. As a legal system, Islam's Sharia law covers a wide range of subjects. The stipulations of the Sharia law, however, are unlike any other legal system in the world. According to the Sharia law:

• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand (above).

• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.

• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.

• Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.

• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.

• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death."

Do you believe this summary is an accurate representation of the Sharia Law? As to the western hemisphere demographics of the belief, I'd welcome your help in clarifying the profile. As stated in the original post, the thread's intended as a point of reference... to stimulate insightful conversation. With this topic, I'm here to learn. No agenda. Thanks.

Is there a significant Muslim Population in the Dearborn area?

Yes, there is. Wikipedia says that Dearborn has a 40% Arabic population, but they're not all Muslims. Many of them are Christians - Maronites and Chaldeans.

The mayor is Democrat John B. O'Reilly, who, I'm guessing, is neither a Muslim nor an advocate of sharia law.

The topic and related activities frequently punctuate the media news; I hoped for some informed perspectives. Period. lol

That confirms my impressions. Thank you. By the way, I once vacationed in Grand Haven, MI while living near Glen Ellyn, IL.

So you came to a chess website forum frequented entirely by non Muslims for a perspective on Sharia Law?

Horrendous as Sharia law is, let us not forget what the Bible also has to offer that is repugnant:


*God kills Aaron's sons for offering "strange fire before the Lord." Leviticus 10:1-2

*Hares are unclean since they chew the cud.Leviticus 11:6

*Bats are just unclean birds. Leviticus 11:13,19

*Four-legged birds are an abomination to God. Leviticus 11:20

*Insects have four legs. Leviticus 1:21, 23

*Baby girls are twice as dirty as baby boys. Leviticus 12:1-8

*What to do if "he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean." Leviticus 15:8

*What to do "if any man's seed of copulation go out from him." Leviticus 15:16-18

*Menstruating women are unclean to God. Leviticus 15:19-30

*God's law for wet dreams. Leviticus 15:16-17, 32

*Don't look at any naked menstruating women. Leviticus 18:19

*Homosexuality is an abomination to God. Leviticus 18:22

*Don't mix seeds when sowing a field or wear a garment with mixed fibers. Leviticus 19:19

*If you have sex with a slave woman, you must then scourge her. Leviticus 19:20

*Don't round the corners of your head or mar the corners of your beard. Leviticus 19:27

*Children who curse their parents, adulterers, and homosexuals must be killed. Leviticus 20:9-12

*Woman with "familiar spirits" must be stoned to death. Leviticus 20:27

*The unchaste daughters of priests must be burnt to death. Leviticus 21:9

*Handicapped people must not approach the altar. Leviticus 21:16-23

*A man curses and blasphemes while disputing with another man. Moses asks God what to do about it. God says that the whole community must stone him to death. "And the children of Israel did as the Lord and Moses commanded." Leviticus 24:10-23

*God's instructions for buying slaves. Leviticus 25:45-46

*"Ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it." Leviticus 26:16

*God will "send wild beasts among you, which shall rob your of your children." Leviticus 26:22

*"And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." Leviticus 26:29

*God places a dollar value on human life; women are worth less (50 - 60😵 than men. Leviticus 27:3-7

Those Sharia laws are indeed pretty awful, GB. What should we do with this knowledge, you think?

Do you approve of the accuracy of this report?

Did you even read what I've posted thus far? If you did, it's evident from your subsequent posts that you either didn't comprehend it or are completely disingenuous.

Do you approve of the accuracy of this report?

Why do you choose to phrase this question as if the only problem with your previous report was that "[I don't] approve of the accuracy of [that] report?". A report that was not only proven to be completely false, but based upon a piece of satire originally posted in the National Report which is a satirical website much like The Onion. In your zeal to promote your bigoted tripe, that obvious fact some how escaped you.

National Report (nationalreport.net) is a satirical website devoted to often subtle parodies of real news which convince the unwary.

Your OP was also largely bigoted tripe as evidenced by my response to it. Your claim to be looking to "stimulate insightful conversation", can only be taken as disingenuous as evidenced by your insistence on doing little more than repeatedly post bigoted tripe and your refusal to engage in conversation with myself and others. HINT: To have a conversation you must be willing to address the issues and questions brought up by others which you have refused to do.

What do you hope to gain by repeatedly posting blatantly bigoted tripe and your continued disingenuousness? Anything besides fear mongering?

Yes, but they are both totalitarian, oppressive, divisive and sexist.

Sure. During the past six years knowledgeable people have always contributed to the many topics introduced to this forum.

Excellent Counterpoint: Pianoman1, what is your level of awareness of the social customs of ancient Egypt and Canaan?

Let's do what we always do on this online public forum: individually objectively contribute to a constructive conversation.
