Mr. B.Black , sympathetic to the concept of sharia - writes:

"One should not dispel Sharia Law out of hand..."

Why not? Most sane people do, especially anyone with any appreciation of history and/or human rights..

"----it has many good attributes such as the ability to resolve a dispute among two aggrieved parties whether civil..."

many western nations already have systems in place that do exactly that such as

http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/justice-services/dispute-resolution

which have been set up without the need for any recourse to 'sharia' - or any need for a belief that the participants recite the 'shahaddah,' face mecca 5 times a day or think that child molestation is an attribute of a prophet.

'..... or criminal among themselves and without the need for court.'

You'd like 2000 years of Western criminal law to be replaced with the pronouncements of some deluded imams - who think that Mo flew on a winged horse to Jerusalem and split the moon with his little finger??

Shoplifters getting their hands amputated, and if 4 muslims say some woman was having an affair - let's make sure she's hanged or stoned to death. And what happens if the 'offender' is Jewish?

Well, Mr 'Black' ... you're certainly a comedian.
