Ever hear of Sharia Law?

Please read my edits as well as the post just before the one you referenced in your post. Ignorance may be bliss, but it isn't helping you here. It'd also be nice if you actually addressed the issues and questions raised in my post.

Evidently the prospect of actually reading what I've posted and addressing issues and questions raised is too taxing for you. Why bother when it's so much easier to not have to think?

They're waiting for you to move into town.

I actually lived there when I was a child.

Would you be willing to accept Sharia Law as the law of the land where you live? Would you support its enforcement as apposed to what you now have?

Do you think the people of Islamic countries would?

I don't live too far from Dearborn, MI, and I can tell you that there is no sharia law in force there.

You don't know what goes on behind closed doors.

You think it might have anything to do with the fact that "more than one poster" seems to have neglected to actually read what I've been posting before going off half-cocked?[/b]

It does seem a little evasive of you to behave like this. I mean you repeatedly make some pretty scathing comments about the author of the OP and when challenged to clarify by more than one poster, you claim you have not been understood and that people should re read your other posts and look through some links in an effort to gain insight into why you made those comments. Really, I think you ought to try a little harder.

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

I meant in real life, GB. What do we do with knowledge about Sharia law in real life?

Surely conversations that we have here and articles that we read online can/will/must influence us in the real world?

Clever. Except that I was born in Kansas.

Nor do I care what goes on behind closed doors. I'm only interested in what happens in the public sphere.

Well, you're not in Kansas anymore!

Then you can't possibly say that there is or isn't Sharia law being practiced in that area.

'Law', by definition, is a public phenomenon. What happens behind closed doors is a 'custom'.
