Mohandas Gandhi on Sharia Law
I find that those who have the biggest aversion to Shari’a law are those who haven’t studied the various schools at all or know anything about Islam. I’m saying this as an Atheist. The responses I received sound like they came straight from Western right-wing talking points. Yes, there are countries with statutes in place that claim to be based on Islamic doctrine that are rather brutish and what we would consider to be unjust. For instance, a lot of you came to me concerned about honor killings but the Qur’an doesn’t say anything about honor killings. It says not to kill.
