Look, it’s real simple. You know my position, and I’m not going to repeat. I know you aren’t asking me to. But it is possible for different people to have different values, and each has their reasons for it. That’s not even the issue. We keep going back and forth because you want everyone, absolutely everyone to come out and conform which is not possible; not even in a homogenous set up where people superficially believe the same things but still differ on their views on certain matters.

On this specific instance, sure ask everyone to share their views. But to start with “you intolerant people; especially you all come and say how you feel”. How is that a start to something that is hoped to be fruitful in the form of a discussion?

To issue a blanket statement on the whole of Shariah is not possible, because as mentioned earlier it’s only Shariah if it is from the Quran and Sunnah, if it’s not from there then it’s something else. Just because XYZ Government calls it that doesn’t make it so. “Children must follow the religion of their father” is a clause that is purely Sudanese, and I have not come across any references that make this an Islamic requirement by any means because so many people that become muslim have non-muslim fathers. Critique Sudan for THAT law and why it’s being applied to Meriam, but don’t associate that law and bundle it as Shariah, it is not Shariah as far as I know, unless someone who knows otherwise can correct me.

I’ll say no more because OP got her response in what she quoted me for. And I have already presented how I feel towards whatever has been discussed so far. I fear the slippery slope may keep going and turn this into dissection of Shariah from some of us who are not even equipped to perfect our dealings with people, let alone start to pose as experts in divine wisdoms and knowledge.

Bella only called out those who are in support of this death for apostasy law. What you gloss over is this is personal for her. She is in this situation. I would actually expect you to agree with her on this. You can maintain ur position that sharia law as prescribed by the Qur’an is fair. And that this law is barbaric.

One aspect I differ from you - you want to treat intolerance with moderation. I dont. You ask one person’s intolerance is a others faith. I have an easy litmus test - when a person’s faith interferes with another person’s human rights, as in this case, always go with human rights. No ifs ands or buts.
