Debate:What should be America's policy toward Islam (view source)
Revision as of 21:21, March 13, 2007

::Of course tolerance is needed. But when a theological idea becomes a threat to the foundation of American Society, then something obviously needs to be done. It's stated in the Qu'ran that Muslims shouldn't stop their struggle until all of the world is under Sharia (Islamic Law, the kind where adultery gets you stoned to death and women can't show a square inch of skin). I don't want to live like that, and neither does the 98.4%-98.6% of the US population which isn't Muslim. --[[User:Hojimachong|Hojimachong]] 18:57, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

:::Wow, Hojimachong -- way to misunderstand. Sharia is not actually a part of Islam proper, but rather an interpretation of Islamic law that has been created since Islam's beginning, because of the need to apply Muhammad's injunctions to changing historical contexts. It is not a part of the Quran. Sharia does not, in fact, require the concealment of women; rather, that is a cultural precept held by ''some'' Muslim cultures. Muslims do not have to abide by Sharia, as it is merely one interpretation of the religion; many countries choose not to.
Thank you for your racist straw-man fallacy. Next time, do some research before you flame, please.
