Well your example is a no brainier since there were no cars in the 6th century and they are now the main transportation for humans that is simply forced adaptation to technology. However the fundamental issues are still 6th century as they are unchangeable are they not ? Example would be punishments and also gender rights. Above all the system is also based on religious ideology which is a faith based viewpoint and minority rights in turn not represented equally. We also need to look at this in reality i think that is very important. I keep hearing a lot of "this or that isn't really sharia law or the right way to apply it" To me it very clearly looks like every country that has applied the system(in some form or another with different levels) has in turn been very unsuccessful. Remember the Ottoman empire(said by mainly islamists to have the only workable system) tried to reform heavily but most of this failed both because the religious backing for them was not there and there was also the Janissary revolts so by the time WW1 rolled in the empire economically,militarily and politically was far behind that of European systems and of course horrible woman's rights and a 80% illiteracy rate overall did not help along with outright corruption and the formation of classes almost akin to the caste system. Since this no other country has been successful without adopting a western system of governance. Even the communist systems had to adept to the changing times look at China has a prime example in western economical reforming.
Firstly, please leave little childish comment about "no brainier" to yourself, if you want to discuss something lets be reasonable, I could see this as nothing more then another Democratic style living rudeness, abundent in you way of life.....so lets not go there.....
Yes, many things, like punishment for death if death, that is not different then your championof Democracy the USA, then why the double standards....
There are many rights for minorities and they are fully protected, if that was not the case, then many living descendents of Coptic Christians and Jews, and others alike would not be alive today in the Middle East and elsewhere, they would have been long dead......Yes there are differences in the fact that they cannot take part in the Shariah processing and fatwa deliverence in order to maintain the status quo of the ultimate Statute being Shariah and no chance of foul play being used.
You may wish to use the "Jizya" which many critics of Islam like using, yes it is there however, unlike the Muslims, the Jizya is for non-Muslims and far less then the Zakat that Muslims have to pay also......so that is out of the window....
Women have rights in Islam and this thread does not have the time or space to go through it, but in short, they can work, educate and go out, however Islam does not allow pornography or females dressing in a way which would naturally attract the oppposite sex, as is human instinct, and cause or bring unwelcome behaviour towards her.
Every year, in the US approximately 132,000 women report that they have been victims of rape or attempted rape, and more than half of them knew their attackers. It's estimated that two to six times that many women are raped, but do not report it. Every year 1.2 million women are forcibly raped by their current or former male partners, some more than once.
This is what the Democratic system also brings with it......
Along with
Each year 100,000 women seek treatment in London for violent injuries caused in their homes in 1989
Quite a few women were raped just whilst I was writing this on this forum........
MORE TO COME
