SHARIA THROUGH PEACEFUL MEANS ?Reader comment on item: Lawful Islamism on the Ascent in Majority-Muslim Countries Submitted by victor (Israel), Sep 27, 2006 at 01:35 THE VERY IDEA OF SHARIA EXCLUDES PEACEFUL MEANS . IT IS BY DEFINITION A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS. THERE IS NO COMMON GROUND BETWEEN A LEGAL SYSTEM BASED ON THE IDEA OF HUMANITY PROGRESSING AND THE RETURN TO SHARIA. THE STRIKING PROOF FOR THIS ARE THOSE MUSLIM COUNTRIES WHERE THIS THEOCRATIC SYSTEM HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED . THEY ARE DEFINITELY TURNING THEIR BACKS ON BETTERING HUMAN SOCIETY AND IMPROVING LIVES. IN FACT THEY ARE REJECTING THE FUTURE FOR A ' DARK AGES' PAST, THUS ENCOURAGING INEVITABLY A STATE OF PERMANENT VIOLENCE . SHARIA THEREFORE IS THE ESSENCE OF VIOLENCE, AND AS SUCH WILL BE OPPOSED BY ALL FORWARD MOVING SOCIETIES , INCLUDING SOME MUSLIM MAJORITY COUNTRIES.
