Islam is a barbaric religion that has no place in modern, civilized countries.

Here is some quick and concise reasons I believe Sharia Law to be unfit for the civilized world 1. Sharia Law does not allow itself to be reformed People who argue for Sharia Law all agree that Sharia Law is perfect, infallible and downright uninterpretable. This is because most muslims think that sharia law is passed down from Allah himself and as such cannot be changed or reformed. Think about if the US or the UK were to pass a law outlawing homosexuality (as Sharia Law does) . People would be naturally upset and want the law repealed or reformed. With Sharia Law the law cannot be repealed or reformed because it is the supposed word of "allah" himself. Sharia Law does not allow those who are governed by it to request reformation as muslims can in turn argue that it goes against there religious principles to reform it. 2. Sharia law considers any extramarital sex a crime, including the victim in a rape case. Here is proof http://www.digitaljournal.com... http://aina.org... http://pamelageller.com... 3. Those who are not muslim are still judged under Sharia Law in the countries where it takes effect. These countries are Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Gambia, Libya, Morocco, Somalia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Gaza Strip, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, and Syria. Think about if you, a muslim, were forced to live by Christian laws. You would feel upset, many people are in the same position under Sharia law. In these countries non-muslims still have to live under the oppressive nature of Sharia Law. In some areas Sharia Law bans the sale of alcohol, well get to the economic ramifications of this later but for now I want you to put yourself in a non-muslims living under sharia laws shoes. Maybe you open a bar only for Sharia law to be instituted in the next week. You would be out of business in days and theres nothing you could do because its impossible for anyone to "reform" Sharia Law. 4. Stoning of adulterers While adultery is a sinful act to be sure, under sharia law if there is four witnesses to the adultery the accused are stoned to death. Imagine if that happened in the US or the UK, a woman cheats on her husband and is publicly stoned to death the next day. For the non-religious this is an absurd punishment for such a crime, and the nature that the death penalty is carried out is equally barbaric. Stoning someone to death in view of everyone else is completely barbaric, and punishments like these are quite common in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Syria, and governments in Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Aceh state in Indonesia. Do you really think that any civilized country would benefit from such a law, or does the stoning of another human being in public not strike you as a little monstrous. Again Sharia Law cannot be reformed because its very nature is "infallible" to muslims, that is my main problem with it. 5. Sharia Law is a fundamentally religious law, making it unfit for the modern world. Many people today are not religious and most are not muslim. In any country we should base our laws for the entirety of all people, not just a particular group. Ill try to talk more about topics beside Sharia Law when discussing why Islam is unfit for civilized countries in the next couple rounds.
