There is much evidence that a push for the implementation of the draconian laws of Islam that are based solely on an interpretation of a century and a half old religious text, supposedly the direct written words of the god of the muslims, is well into is final stages. The reasoning behind this push is because of what is being taught to muslims in the mosques, that western laws are somehow flawed because they are man-made laws and so they are inferior to the instructions given to their prophet by their god. That is OK, if that is how you see it!! The people of the world outside of Islam have really just gone about doing things in a logical manner. That is, the religion that was most prominement in the society that founded the communities in the west also had a religious text to go by, but, clearly the tenents of that text did not update itself as time went on so as to keep up with modern knowledge and understanding of how people in this day and age interact and how rights of the people that are affected by the laws needed to be protected by those that made them. Since the gods that are talked about in these two very different texts have never really come back to verify anything, written or otherwise, that pertain to a modern a world and how to make these texts apply to us today, I beleive that man-made is the best way to go until there is clarification from up above. I'm just not holding my breathe. If a muslim wants to claim that they would rather adhear to century old thinking that is fine, but they don't! they pick and choose these ignorant teachings from their crazy assed documents and apply them at will to make talking point or to intimidate others into thinking that they are more religious, and then go right back to doing as they please behind our backs. If islam wants Sharia? which I really don't beleive they do, let them go back to Arabia and make it work there all day long!!!
