Talk:Sharia

Islamic justice

There were no prisons in Mohammad's day, so rather than incarceration, certain haram offenses were dealt with rather swiftly, either through amputation, beheading, or enslavement. Taxation is for non-believers, so a devout Muslim is not burdened with the cost of maintaining prisoners. This appears to be the position of modern salafists, so which page would be appropriate, this one, Islam, or the Salafi page? nobs^{It all depends what ISIS is.} 01:47, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

I'd say both this page and the Salafi page. 32℉uzzy; 0℃atPotato (talk/stalk) 02:01, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

The face of Islam

It should be stated that the majority of Muslim men support violence against women, gays, Jews and non-Muslims. It is undoubtedly the face of Islam and slavery and violence is what Muslims stand for.--101.177.126.33 (talk) 08:30, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Evidence? There are frequent surveys of attitudes about these issues both in the west and Islamic World, so you should be able to prove this claim if true. Annquin (talk) 09:47, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Using the quantifier "the majority of" means you've got statistics to back up your claims (assuming you're not just making numbers up). Please provide said source(s). Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:32, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

www.jihadwatch.org, https://muslimstatistics.wordpress.com, www.independent.co.uk, http://www.pewforum.org/ and http://www.pewforum.org/ to name a few.--101.177.112.236 (talk) 09:47, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

You can be more specific than that. Link me to the studies that these sites link to. Surely you're not asking me to do my own research, even though you provide the claims? Thanks! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 14:20, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

'Men', implying adults, would be roughly one quarter of 1.3 billion Muslims, or approx 325+ million adult male Muslims. How would you find a representative sample of that group?nobs^{Gary Johnson for Rehab!} 15:45, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Sharia Basis

It is based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah which include the ahadith but also the sirah (biographical material), and even on the tafsir (Qur'an commentary). I am rather new so I will let someone else edit that bit because I do not want to break the link in place. ^{— Unsigned, by: RationalRex / talk / contribs}

Article bias.

This article appears to be written by a non-Muslim apologian for Sharia.

When assessing Sharia, however, it is important to remember that it is not a single thing. Every country that implements some form of "Sharia" does so differently, in terms of the strictness of the laws, the specifics of the laws, and whether or not the laws apply to non-Muslims.

This is patently absurd. There is Sharia, then there is not Sharia. It is in black and white for you to read. There is no 'form' of Sharia, either you obey the Sharia or you do not. Countries that enforce the Sharia do so from the book, not differently. Sure there may be some very slight cultural differences if they practice a different form of Islam but the Sharia is in black and white, good or bad, it is what it is. Don't try and apologize for a religion you know nothing about. You call yourselves rational wiki, and then tread all over our faith watering it down to try and make it sound more sterilized and edible for your audience? To try and make it sound more what? Enlightened? Well fuck you. It's written in black and white and followed in black and white, it always has and always will be. Stick your apologetica in your arse. ^{— Unsigned, by: 124.190.207.57 / talk / contribs}

And every Christian sect will insist that their sect is the only version that gets Jesus's words absolutely correct. Doesn't mean that there is only one version of Christianity. CorruptUser (talk) 19:48, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Sharia isn't all encompassing

"Sharia (Arabic شريعة, lit. "the way") is Islamic law covering conduct in all aspects of life, though nowadays it is primarily applied in commercial and personal relationships." - This isn't true, at least historically. Sharia only applied to certain aspects of life throughout all of Islamic history, other, more secular kind of laws existed in conjunction with it, as Sharia doesn't cover huge chunks of society.^{— Unsigned, by: 82.33.172.234 / talk}

I wouldn't know, feel free to correct anything you think is a mistake (although you'll need to add references for things not common knowledge). Christopher (talk) 14:43, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
