Re: Why Not Shariah?
how secular law gaurantee! how can some one comes with a better idea then what Allah says to do.
Because the people should decide what's best for the people. Your beliefs should never rule over another simply because you think it's best. "Might is right, " is never morally justifiable, nor is it correct.
Secular laws guarantee the best possibility for equality under the law because they make no distinction based on religion. Religious law/theocracy does exactly that, thus segregating it's people and creating separate laws. That is the very opposite of equality.
And yes, your religious beliefs are your convictions. As such, they should remain private, as they do not pertain to anyone elses' religious convictions, just as mine should hold no power over anyone else.
I believe in equality for everyone under the law, not just the majority religious group.
