^^ Thats exactly the thing

If the justification at the end of the day is that X,Y,Z is going to happen/be law - because the Quran/Hadees say so - PERIOD, I think thats what puts people off. If it changes to lets do this because this would bring A,B,C beneficial changes in society - and well the Quran/Sunnah say it as well - I think that would be fine.

And in most cases that I think it has to do with hudd punishments - witness testimony - womens rights - inheritance. Not stuff like economic policies, profit sharing is pretty popular I think, not the other stuff.

And for many things that you in your earlier post said that most sects would agree on. Lets take something other than homosexuality - fornication - rape - adultery - because they more or less seem consistent on those (except Hero Ghamdi of course). How about purdah? Is that something personal? In an Islamic State that all sects are okay with - would women be required/forced to observe pardah (hijab? abaya? shuttlecock burka?) I think some would say yes - some would say no.

And how about freedom of speech in an Islamic State that all sects agree on. In an IslState would there be a blasphemy law? I myself wouldn’t say anything derogatory about the Prophet. But I would like others to have the right to say it.

For Pardah, First of all one have to understand why it is obligatory on male and female muslims to observe Pardah? by a simple cloth, which covers feminine part of female body, it saves her from lots of evils for sure… if you want to learn in detail then you have to google it…

Anyway, every society have its laws, Muslim society, orders women and men to observe Hijab, so that they society remains clean from the evil practices which may emerge if women and men walk naked or in clothes which is equivalent to it… Islam have nothing to do with Burqa or this kind of stuff, all it orders to wear decent cloths which hide the beauty of the body ( i am sorry if this is not as per French Fashion Shows) and is extremely against the notion that women or men wear or get involve in any act which is against decency in open.

The Blasphemy law has it roots deep down in human civilization and have been implemented in the society from the very human nature who idolizes his religious or national personalities. Basically such law are there to protect one simple thing, refrain people to abuse the religious sentiment of any religion whatsoever, as it may spark riots and many innocents would die just because some stupid person… This law has nothing to do with Islam and has been in practice just to avoid something which can create unrest, if society is mature enough then they won’t be burning Quran and neither they will be holding contest to draw some religious personalities of some other reason in the name of freedom of expression…
