Why Islamic Law is Intolerable

Spell it Sharia,  spell it Shari’ah or call it Fiqh, it is Islamic law,
based on the Qur’an & hadith which are the primary sources of
Islam.  Islam conflates spiritual & temporal authority and
imposes its law on the entire society.

The fact that Shari’ah imposes corporal punishments
including amputation, decapitation, lashing & lapidation is common
knowledge.  We recognize that such punishments are incompatible
with our Constitutions.  Many people assume that incompatibility
to impose a total exclusion on Shari’ah, but it does not. In the last
three decades, there have been fifty cases and appeals involving Islamic Laws in
American courts.

Unfortunately, Islam is not an a la carte menu  from which you can select the items you like; it
is all or nothing; a package deal.

2:85.
After this, it is you who kill one another and drive out a party of you
from their homes, assist (their enemies) against them, in sin and
transgression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them,
although their expulsion was forbidden to you. Then
do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then
what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in
the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be
consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allâh is not unaware
of what you do.

If Muslims reject part of the Qur’an, they will be disgraced in this
world and damned in the next.  Muslims can not reject jihad,
corporal punishment inequality, indignity or the disgusting fiqh of
marriage, divorce & child custody.

I have compiled screen shots of some crucial rulings
into  gifs for your reading displeasure.  The first gif is
entirely sourced from Reliance of the Traveller, which is the most
widely accepted codification of Shari’ah.  These rulings impact
issues of equality, dignity, justice and ‘family law’.  They come
from books M, N & O of Reliance of the Traveller.

The following table includes links to the three main
codifications of Islamic law which you can purchase at Amazon in two
cases or read on line in pdf format. Risala is the shortest and easiest
to read but less detailed than the others. Hedaya uses arcane &
archaic vocabulary & type face and is rather dense.  Reliance
set the standard, and is accepted as authentic and accurate by sheikhs
of Al-Azhar University in Cairo.

The second gif follows; it displays the Qur’anic
ejunctions of jihad, the confirming ahadith from Sahih Bukhari &
Sunan Abu Dawud and their codification in Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX,
Chapters 1 &2, and Risala. The subset of the law displayed here
covers the following vital  issues:

• Allah’s commands to fight
  • Moe’s confirmation of those commands
• Islamic jurist’s interpretation of those original sources
  • legal definition of jihad
  • obligation to perform jihad
    • communal
    • individual
      • in every year
      • continuously until Judgment Day
  • jihad is primarily offensive, not defensive
    • undertaken on Islam’s initiative
      • proceeded by Dawah
        • involves killing men
      • involves enslaving women and children
  • jihad is undertaken by the caliph as the regular order of
    business
    • against Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians until they are
      subjugated and pay jizya
      • jizya is a punitive tax in lieu of execution
        • according to the Hanifi school, collected in a punitive
          & humiliating manner
    • against all other people until they become Muslims.
