Well Boaz, sharia is hardly a "gay friendly" legal system. So from your perspective sharia might have a few benefits.

Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs during a private meeting at a peace conference, The Times has learned.

Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged.

StevenMeyer really knows what he's talking about. When I want serious news, I always go straight to FoxNews. They report and I get to decide.

Of course, in Steve's religion, they love homosexuals. I wonder what the Old Testament law says about homosexuals. Obviously, the Torah encourages people to explore their sexuality, doesn't it?

Christianity and Judaism are, on the whole, both unfriendly towards homosexuality.

And that raises an important point.

It is essential that we maintain a firm division between religion and the state. Secular democracy is our best guarantor of freedom. Otherwise we really shall be back to the point where people are persecuted for saying or doing things the religios don't like.

So when the head of a partially state funded Church advocates giving special recognition to religious courts, or when a Muslim pundit tells us that sharia is not so bad after all, we should smell a great big rat.

Or, perhaps, we should see a great big Trojan horse.

What's next? Special courts for Sikhs, Hindus and Satanists. The reinstatement of Ecclesiastical courts?

Some other points.

--As a matter of plain fact, the mainstream of neither Christianity nor Judaism advocates the criminlisation of homosexual acts anymore.

--Foxnews was actually quoting a story that appeared in the Times of London. Here is a link to the original story.

If you have any reason to doubt the accuracy of the Times' report let's see it.

In case you consider Amnesty International a reliable source you may wish to consider the case of Zohreh and Azar.

See:

http://www.amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=17638

I have written to Amnesty International telling them I shall not join a petition calling for the sentences of Zohreh and Azar to be "commuted."

The pair should be released immediately and unconditionally.

After all, what is a "reasonable" punishment for adultery?

How about life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 20 years?

Zohreh and Azar are sharia in action.

BOAZ,

Thomas Jefferson also said –

“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.”

“Every generation needs a new revolution.”

“I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.”

“The way to silence religious disputes is to take no notice of them.”

In addition it seems that most people still can’t tell the difference between a religion and the national culture of a small minority of that religion. For example, some Muslim women have even been oppressed into becoming Prime Minister and the majority denied the opportunity to be forced to wear burkhas.

With all the rabid nonsense that keeps springing up almost daily, it’s no surprise that secularism is increasing.

I also suspect that BOZO-DAGWOOD may be your evil twin (or your conscience?)

So what do we do as Western Civilization, against the barbarian, Islamo-facists, racists, supremicists, who want to conquer and submit or kill all that are not submissive to islam. Do we take it(I don't think so) or do we retaliate. A first strike, a continuous, ever going offensive, until the arabs and moslems are put out of commission. A threat to Western Civilization is a threat to all civilization, the world would be a very different and disorganized place without America and our allies. As for our allies, we have many, the lefties hate America, the rest of the world loves us. That is why America is the destination of all the worlds people, whom wish to leave their native countries and migrate. America is the preferred destination.

The Gospel took away the sharia laws. Sins of course remain sins however they can be dealt with in better ways that stoneings, floggings, amputations and so on.
Jesus Our Lord took away the sharia of both the Jewsish kind and of the Islamic kind.
Look no further than the Gospels.
Those who bad mouth the Catholic Church need to be reminded that all of your pre politically correct university brainwashing and media brainwashing ( ie real history) shows that universities, science, education etc all came about because of Catholics primarily.
Wake up and be grateful for the benefits you have even in theis post Christian age. The problems in the Western world today are the result of turning one's back against Chrsit and His One True Church.
Chrsit dealt with sharia. Read the Gospel and wake up. No need to reinvent the wheel nor to replace sharia with pagan positive law- all are a crock of poop; positive law does not help Muslims jst as sharia doesn;t help them either. They need the traditional Catholic teachings and so does the rest of the paganised Western world who provoke the Muslims.
