Is Sharia Law vs British Law - Which is more moral?

But it's the rich that currently finance these, if it cost the rich more and were optional, they simply would not pay, making those services unviable or a lot more expensive to the common man

Please read my other posts before coming into the convo. I cant be asked to explain this again.

you have said that the rich already don't use services such as transports or the health care system because they prefer private solutions - so, nothing would be lost

however, the main point is that free public services encourage waste

You've misunderstood. Currently the rich fund these, and the poor recieve the benefit, allowing them to get to work etc. Were we to move to your model, the price of these services would sky-rocket to the benefit of noone, as the rich would no longer pay the majoritry of the fee.

Not even a competition, Shariah is based on objective morals, whereas British Law is something that is legislated by man, prone to continues change [every 10 years or so] based on social pressure and various other factors.



You don't get executed for simply being gay in Sharia either.

Like 99% of the people replying to this thread would never have picked up a book on Shariah.

no

it all depends on how the rate system would be organized, at which level the prices would be set etc

there is a logic in having some services free for the poorest, but not for the better off

a bit like the University system in many countries

shariah had stopped being implemented in the Ottoman Caliphate long before its abolition in 1924

the tanzimat reforms in the 19th century - starting from about 1830 - were an effort at modernizing the failing Caliphate (already in deep crisis since at least 100 years) in order to try and catch up with the "infidel" West.

The jizyah was abolished, elections were held, homosexuality was decriminalized, universal conscription was introduced, civil and penal codes were adopted etc eventually, even slavery was abolished... but reforms didn't stop the decay. If possible, the rate even accelerated.

By the time Ataturk abolished the Caliphate, it was just an empty shell - and, most surely, it hadn't been an "Islamic State" for quite some time.

"Objective" refering to those morals believed by people in the 7th century? Very easy to be objective when you have no concept of other cultures/beliefs.

"British Law" refering to the legal system that has filtered through a predominantly Christian society (arguably another source of 'objective' truths) and that has been tweaked and changed to best incorporate the beliefs, feelings and sociably acceptable behaviour of countries within an empire that spanned 1/3 of the globe? A legal system that is still seen fit for usage by a large number of highly developed countries - as opposed to the system prevalent in some of the worlds most volatile areas?

You don't really need to pick up a book on Sharia Law... common sense works just fine.

I have read your posts

you are just restating a mix of leftist/anticapitalist/hizb-ut tahrir standard fare

as I say : nothing to write home about

I'm sure most people have misconceptions about Sharia Law as we will probably see from some posts here. Did you know that under Sharia Law citizens are given free water,gas and electricity?

Also to add, anyone that wants this custom, why not just move to a country that enforces this law. Why make another culture slave to your customs? This is the place we call home, and you guys wish to breach that, enforces foreign laws and customs. Well i say no more!

Their excuse is that there is no other Sharia Law country (they love the freedom & democracy here in Britain really).

Death for apostasy. Rape victims punished. Only an idiot would support sharia law. It would also make the system collapse.

Many Muslim women support Shariah so please stop speaking on their behalf.

Muslim women enjoy being looked down on, almost bullied by men and having no sense of fashion or makeup and going out in a burka, going to work in a burka, sleeping in a burka?

Cool, okay!
