Sorry, Sharia law is not just "marriage guidance " as you have previoulsy posted.
Following your link:

[quote=Tunicates are Mad;912271]
Sharia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I found a few examples:

a)the European Court of Human Rights* determined that sharia is incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy

* I'm assuming that they have more experience and knowledge than you or I.

b) Sharia law may be considered as the world's most homophobic legal system. It has completely criminalized homosexuality with laws that include executions as punishment


c) In accordance with the Qur'an and several hadith, theft is punished by imprisonment or amputation of hands or feet,


I won't go into womens rights, or their "legal" standing under sharia law.


if you want to see sharia law in practice, come and live/work where I do. Speak to the people whose lives are fully dictated by it, and then tell me that it's just marriage guidance.
