Shari'a Law for Europe

Submitted by Jay Van Camp (United States), Nov 26, 2006 at 00:48

I think it only proper that since Muslims are so eager to subject the entire human race to Shari'a law, that not only Europe, but every country in the world should pass legislation so that Muslims could enjoy their own system of jurusprudence. A thief, as a first time offender would lose his right hand, and with the second offense, his left foot. A murderer would have his head lopped off if killing another, and his eye removed if causing the loss of an eye of another person. But, I still haven't figured out how to get around the part of Shari'a which permits a relative to murder a woman because she had sex or was suspected of having had sex with someone, or had an infidel friend, or talked back to daddy, or watched MTV, or smoked a cigarette, for which some Muslim women have been killed.

I've written all the major cigarette companies, including the manufacturer of Virginia Slims, that an additional warning should be placed on all packs destined to the Arab World, something like: "Danger; If a Muslim Female, Smoking Can Be Dangerous to Your Health", or something like, "We Hope You Like Our Product, But Don't Lose Your Head Over Them".
