Delusional!!!
Reader comment on item: Once considered anti-Islam, senior scholar says he's now in the middle
in response to reader comment: Who is afraid of Islam?
Submitted by Jaladhi (United States), Aug 23, 2010 at 09:59
Ghulam says:"In fact Islamic sharia does not bring anything new other than highlighting and prioritizing certain ideas of justice and fairplay."
Yes Ghulam,you must be dreaming or worse delusional!!!
Stoning of women and men as it happened last week in Afghanistan and a fairly common occurence in Iran by their fellow Muslim neighbors following the sharia laws does bring nothing new to Muslims but it is not prioritizing "justice and fairness". You can keep your "sharia fairness", we don't need it here!!!
