I would say any and all religious law, hell, religion in general needs to die and go away entirely. That being say we dont really have a say over what happens in other countries. But i do know that there are little sharia councils and consultation centers in the US. They have zero legal authority, but they need to be shut down. The problem is that these councils can pop up in peoples private homes. Theyre informal. So its really impossible to get rid of all of them. Side: I'm an American.

I dare say there's a difference between the right to Free Speech and a legal system which mandates stoning to death homosexuals, women who've engaged in sexual activity (voluntary or not) outside of strict patriarchal customs, gypsies, and other "deviants", not to mention amputations as punishment for some crimes.

Hello L: The question ISN'T whether I LIKE sharia law.. It's whether it should be abolished. We don't practice shariah law in this country, so on my list of things that SHOULD be abolished, sharia law is WAY down there... But, I'm not sure if I'd hold up right wing views as those that would PROTECT gays, gypsies, and other deviants.. Oh, I know.. You don't wanna KILL the gays, but you SURLY don't want 'em to get married. excon Side: No.
