Do you even know what Shari'ah is for you to Slander it as Radical and Terror-inducing?
I would Love...I mean this seriously, I would love Love LOVE to see a "non-sharia" Mosque/Islamic Community Center....
Why?
So I can sit on a bench and eat my popcorn while{both Shi'a and Sunni} Scholars tear the places rep. to shred VERBALLY.
You cannot have Islam w/o Sharia...
Again, why?
Easy...
Sharia is G-ds Law.
Mind you, there are, as in most Religions, various Degrees of Interpretation, and Schools of Thought on such Interpretations.
Some countries piously follow One interpretation, Some cultures even within those countries follow a different interpretation, but they ALL agree that in the end, the bottom Line, the Holy Quran is the the Absolute Sharia.
Followed Closely by the Sunnah {The practices of the Prophet himself & those before him}, & Fiqh {it compliments Both the Qu'ran and Sunnah, aiding further the Rulings on ritual, morals, social legislation} In Sunni there are 4 Madhabs with their own varying degrees of adherence to certain Rulings, within Shi'a there are 2...
That there are insane Fanatic Radicals and/or Fundamentalists that enjoy Twisting things to their sick benefit, ok..Those are the exception..Those are the ones the Rest of the Islamic world Shun..
That's where the saying "a few bad apples" fits very well...
I'll explain this easier before I get too Preachy....
To say a Mosque / Islamic Center /Community Center etc.. is w/o Sharia, is to say a Synagogue is without Talmud/Torah.
That a Catholic Church is w/o their 10 Commandments or their Apostles' Creed..
That there are Laws that seem borderline Archaic to Western Societies delicate nature?
Yup..
But, do u Really wanna go there?
I mean, with all the selling daughters into sexual slavery {Exodus 21:7-11}, literally Death to Adulterers {Deuteronomy 22:21, John 8:4,5., Ephesians 5:5 }
And please don't give me that "Old Testament doesn't apply" Bunk...
If it didn't, the Bible wouldn't have it.
Yes, Jesus did say "He who is w/o sin cast the first Stone" and they didn't...But..
If memory serves, a lil bit later, they did.
I have a lot of respect for it, I'm not attacking the Bible, I will say however, that the "allowed" Books in the bible have their own Faults, and there are Christian Fundamentalists/Radicals.
U are no better or Worse
btw, I loved "My Faith - My Voice"
