Thread Name: BS: Religious law
Subject: RE: BS: Religious law
The whole mess is a connundrum!
How can ignorant people be enlightened when they are taught by ignorant people?
Democracy is not a way of life there and conformity to religious beliefs from the dark ages is often the only way to survive. The mullahs insist on educating the young with their narrow views and it is very difficult to break that chain.
   The UN should help by passing resolutions that shari'a violates international human rights and should not be a part of criminal law anywhere on Earth, and that every living soul should be entitled to a secular schooling. That at least would be a starting point!
In Canada we send troops around the world to try and help the oppressed, but at home we have groups of mullahs who petition our democratic government to be able to apply shari'a law to muslems. This was not allowed but the fact that it was even requested was an insult to fair minded people.
