I don’t think sharia would ever work, OR SHOULD BE INTRODUCED, in countries like the US. Doesn’t work in societies where people are from various backgrounds.
But I think in a country like Pakistan, if they aligned their laws with the Quran, and they actually did it properly, it could work. Issue is which sharia do you pick?
And I think that’s where the fallacy lies. What is sharia?
Honestly, the Quran has fairly generalized basic rules. It doesn’t get into specifics, and if we recall the story of the calf, if we get into such nitty gritty specifics and fight each other we are doomed.
So if “sharia” could simply be just the big picture rules: i.e. no usury, no murdering, no stealing, etc, it wouldn’t be so threatening.
Then you have “sharias” that are doctored with corruption. Like rules from the Taliban. Many of their rules are considered by THEM to be religion based, but they’re not. Like burning down girls’ schools, really?
Similarly, Saudi has various crimes for which they behead, except the Quran hasn’t ever assigned these punishments, and there is no evidence for these in the hadith either.
They beheaded a guy for smuggling heroin into the country.
Really now? The country where the saudi royals are boozing it up? Is there any evidence that people who have drug problems should be beheaded?
No.
So, muslims are where they are now, because we have actually drifted AWAY from Islam. We make up things that don’t exist.
ex. the niqaab.
ex. mandatory beards
ex. punishments that never existed in the first place - ex. beheadings for drug smuggling
ex. banning education for girls
etc etc.
And it’s because these types of rules get doctored in, and stupid jaahil people end up believing them with total DOGMA to the point they’re willing to kill to protect these backward ideas they think are part of Islam, THAT’s why “sharia” should not be allowed.
Because people don’t understand real Sharia, or how to implement it responsibly.
To implement sharia, pehle, musalmaan bana parta hai. Musalmaan pehle musalmaan ban jaye, then these idiots can talk about sharia.
