I'm all for harsher punishments for violent crimes. that's not the issue of Sharia though. the issue comes out when you have people getting their hands and heads chopped off for things like adultery, homosexuality, insulting Mohammed, desecrating the Koran, speaking out against Islam, becoming an apostate...the list goes on.

The totalitarian nature is what's the problem, not the punishment itself.

In fact I agree with the Saudi's when in a recent case they decided to behead a man who raped and killed 3 young boys. Good for them, but that doesn't excuse the Islamic totalitarianism which is going on there. Tell you friend to bring a Bible with him next time he goes and see what happens...

Now, I'm no sharia supporter but I had a friend a Canadian expat who lived in Saudi Arabia who was very much in favour of sharia law with regards to amputations. He said it was the only country where they could sleep at night with their front door open. For us westerners that is a sensation that is even hard to imagine as I can't even sit in the house with the front door open, let alone sleep in it.

I mean obviously amputating the hand of someone is a hideous thing to do, but if such drastic measures eliminate 99.99999% of crimes? Perhaps (some parts of) the world isn't ready for the blissfull peaceful, harmonious existence we'd all like.

Then again, under sharia the lashing of women over wearing trousers or the hanging of preteen children are examples where no amount of logical reasoning will make me understand or accept it.

How much Obama learned in his early years being raised as a Muslim can't be known, only he could tell us. But it appears he learned very well that it is obligatory to lie to infidels. Even so, it seems his pride and arrogance let us see glimpses of his true alliegance. I don't believe he'll say anything condeming this, another clue to his true beliefs.

Good. This might capture the attention of Obama and his sycophants. But wait. Obama already knows the tendencies and practices of the religion he takes every opportunity to extol. Still, his supporters might view him in a new light when this becomes broadcast.
