Non-Muslims for Sharia Law?

May be...

I hate this, but my parents agree that it would be a great idea to have peoples limbs chopped for stealing so that they won't do it again. And guess what they are non-Muslim. Is there any non-Muslim who agrees with this. I am shocked my parents feel this way...

It does sound pretty harsh, but cutting off the hand of a theif, stoning rapists and adulterers, and assigning a more immediate capitol punishment to murderers would quite certainly reduce these types of crimes if enough people witnessed them and a law like this was put into effect. I mean, look at how our democratic nation works, lol. Doesn't matter what you do or how bad it is, you get free housing, clothes, three squares, t.v., internet too... it's not luxury, but you can get this all for free with manslaughter! The only things that are taken away from you is the ability to visit McDonald's or Disney whenever you like, voting, and eating hot dogs by the lake. Heck, you can even earn your Master's in prison!!



Just recently a woman in my city set her house on fire with her two children inside it... completely intentionally, btw. They showed her in court begging for a life sentence instead of the death penalty when she got her guilty verdict. Do you think she deserves it?



~~~~~~~~~~~

BTW: stoning rape victims is not sharia. Just because a country that calls itself Muslim and runs by "sharia" law doesn't mean everything they do is by-the-book. ESPECIALLY in cases like this. Forbidding women to drive, forcing them to wear the full niqab, and other such laws that are imposed by Saudi Arabia are neither Sharia nor do they have anything to do with Islam. Just like doing meth and having sex with male prostitutes has nothing to do with being a Christian or a pastor.

Oh, and just to add:

In terms of multiple offenders, some people spend their entire lives as thieves, at least until they get caught. But as soon as they're turned loose they're out doing it some more. So when you think about it, if a person is caught stealing once, he gets a hand removed. Only one hand left. If he gets caught stealing a second time, then it's certainly going to be his last time stealing, right?

i too do agree...



anybody with sense would agree if u compare rate of crimes with middle east and the west...



provide solid facts if u argue...





dn't try to mix terrorism and this...why dn't u provide facts about crime rates in west ah?



im sure u'll delete the question if u have the facts.. lol.

I know american christians who feel this way, yet express outrage at every Muslim action.



Go figure.



Give me Rule of Law/Common Law over religious law any day.

funny but you have to be muslim to accept sharia law



they would not be called on for stealing its more for people of the muslim faith to have one of there elders to settle disputes between other muslims



it will never inflict itslef upon UK law its already being used in the UK and has been in muslim areas for years



just as the jewish councils can do the same for those of the jewish faith

Why feel sorry, Every law is good in every possible way. But every good law u think might be opposed by some one in the world. So in many parts of the world the Sharia Law exsists and no one is complaining there. Now even in Britian it is acceptable

Look how great it has worked in the middle east. After 1500 years of no progress they are still fighting and killing each other.

It would deter criminals. In Islam, Muslims are given Sharia Law to preserve their society from crimes and evildoers. It's harsh but it does make a BIG difference. It makes the society a lot safer.



Edit: "Dellow" - They are fighting each other because Sharia Law is implemented there? You are nutter of the highest quality. What rubbish. The only country which implement criminal Sharia Law in the middle east is Saudi Arabia and look at them. They over there boast and brag of leaving there Jewelery shops unguarded while they go to pray. The really brag about the safe society they have their. Maybe Iran has Criminal Sharia Law as well. Not sure. Most countries only use the Civil Sharia Law.

hey Christians used to believe in an eye 4 an eye, some believes r to to with principles not faith, i hate seeing criminals now adays getting away with murder. i wish the law could be tough but i dont believe in tit 4 tat aether.

Why would someone steal when he knows that his hand would get chopped?



Think....?

Your parents are barbarians. You are right to feel shocked.

If you are hating your parents then what else is left to talk.

Are they serious? I guess some people feel like that. Good for them. I think it's inhumane and wrong. In some ways maybe effective, but not in others.

oh for the love of God, tell them chopping off limbs is just the tip of the iceberg, what about stoning a woman to death for adultery because she was raped or killing a woman because she has shamed the family? tell them you can't pick what bits of Sharia law you fancy, it's horrible and outdated and totally outrageous to even consider implementing it here, it goes against everything we believe in...democracy.



on the other hand older people are scared to go out because of the crimes on the street etc, things need to be done but not maiming and killing people..

You can't have human rights while at the same time stoning women for adultery, amputating limbs and marrying off 9 year old girls....Today muslims wants sharia....tomorrow they will want all non-muslim religions outlawed...I mean when will we draw the line.....????



I think allowing muslims to swamp all non-muslim countries (such as UK, EUrope, India, Thailand etc) we are all destroying the future of our coming generations...we will all be dead but it will be our children and grand children that will be left to deal with these barbarians....

No its barbaric and savage.



I think we do need much stiffer sentances for the Chavs and other scum that are infecting our society though.

well i agree its way too harsh that law , but with that the crime rate is very low in those countries wich makes them think twice of stealing, when i had my car stolen i said alot nasty things to the crooks lol.

Even the thought of such barbarity sickens me. I can't even find words to express how I feel about this.



[Edit]

Amazing! I've actually gotten some thumbs downs for saying that cutting off people's hands is barbaric. Some humans sicken me beyond words. Those of you who fall into that category, feel free to give me a thumbs down. Just be glad that you've got a hand to do it with.

.

No it disgusts me.

Life and personal properties are much more protected in Saudi Arabia as compared to any other part of world.

Sharia is tied into religion. You can't implement sharia without believing in the religion also.



Perhaps your parents are not so much suggesting sharia as they are suggesting stronger punishments for criminals. I agree that criminals should be more harshly punished, because look at the return rate of prisoners! People aren't scared enough of breaking the law, and i especially think it's ridiculous how unsevere the laws are concerning child molesters and sexual offenders.

Sharia won't work in many places, but harsher and more serious punishments will scare potential criminals into thinking twice.

I am a Muslim and I don't agree with this either. Infact in Islam there are complex situations for this rule to be done and it happen rarly and also it is not in main of Sharia, these kind of rules could be change with time.

Two wrongs do not make a right they make two wrongs. Sharia law is evil when practised in extreme. Cutting peoples hands of, hanging and stoning etc are just vengeful acts. These are the emotions of the devil. Rule by fear is the motto of sharia.

this country is being taken over by immigrants and asylum seekers
