In the Koran: "O ye Obey Allah, and obey His messenger and those who are in authority among you" [Koran 4:59].
Not only is Shariah a barbaric autocratic and theocratic law, its principles are completely against democracy. Do you wonder why all Muslim countries are brutality ruled by dictators and or other barbaric regimes??? Shariah is why!
Shariah is in Islam the law which Muslims must follow and force upon non-Muslims. An Islamic state is one with the Shariah "regime". Muslims must make this the supreme authority in every non-Muslim country in which they live. If you are living in a officially non-Islamic country with lots of Muslims, except this law to been soon the constitution of your country!
A very good example of it is the case of Aminah Lawal.This Nigerian mother made headlines when an Islamic court sentenced her to death for having sex with a man that wasn't her husband. According to Shariah, that is a crime and thus, the Islamic court decided to burry her until her neck and stone her till death. Isn't Shariah a great law? don't you think?
The Taliban was not just a regime made up by some people, it was a regime based on Shariah law. Just like all Muslim countries have a regime that based on Shariah law.
Here are a number of barbaric practices enforced by Islamic law, apart from those already discussed in the Quran verses above :
* Adulterous couples are stoned to death, prostitutes are hanged in public, and women in the company of men who are not blood relatives are executed. * Rape victims are punished. * "Zina laws" prohibit adultery, prostitution, and rape. Punishment is execution or amputation of the hands. This is done to the victims as well. * Women cannot vote or get elected. * Husbands can beat up their wives at their heart's content. * Women cannot do anything outside of the house without the father or husband's consent. * Women cannot get custody of their children. * Women are banned from a number of fields of education. * Women must wear the hijab when outside of the house. * In more extremist countries like Iran, a woman arrested for wearing make-up is forced to clean up with cotton balls rolled in broken glass. * In Pakistan, insulting Mohammed is punished by death (Contempt of Prophet's Act)
