Hammer, Sharia Law in essence is simply the moral and religious code Muslims live by. There is legal basis too but that usually just involves the settling of disputes, inheritence etc.
Things like praying 5 times a day and giving to charity are Sharia Law.
Some repressive regimes have implemented various human rights abusing punishments they are calling Sharia CRIMINAL law. These countries are human rights abusers on a number of fronts.
People like you and Lambie (and a large percentage of this forum) think that those punishments are what Sharia Law entails. They are not. That is what Yassmin was trying to tell Lambie, who wasn't hearing any of it. Most Muslims in the world do not live with those punishments but ALL Muslims adhere to Sharia Law.
Would you like a link? Or do you think you uderstand?
Gandalf, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.
A Sharia Law knowall now ey?
As usual you know naff all.
Yassmin Abdels Magieds statements on Q&A were a total load of crap.
And no ... "all Muslims" do not adhere to Sharia Law.
To do so would restrict how they lived in our society.
The thing is that those radical/fundamentalists that do are pushing their influence over all Muslims .. & those that don't adhere are put under pressure .....
& you can take that as what ever you wish to describe the sorts of pressure.
