Hii thread ni futile!
Imeanzishwa kwa nia nzuri kabisa, kujadili sheria versus sharia.

Do not criticize anybody and especially a religious ruling / cultural behaviour if you do not fully comprehend the subtle blend of the matter under discussion or basic principle behind the ruling.
Beware and do not forget that not everything reported appear as it is reported and your logic may be in contrast to the other "LOGIC" (capital letters intentional!).
You appear to be biased against islam but be informed that the so called islamic nations have:
1. the lowest crime rates (all types of crime) compared to "western civilised" nations
2. lowest or non existent prostitution, problems with alcoholism, drugs, killings.
3. governments really care about their citizens health and not pretend to care e.g. by encouraging smoking cigarrettes on one hand and at the same time say that this causes cancer which in turn kills the same citizens.
Now, everything comes at a price. If you want freedom of unlimited choices as against restrictions that are in the end beneficial to yourself and society as a whole.
Human soul and human desires are not perfect and always tends to corrupt ideas, corrupt and frivolous behaviour. Check your scriptures, whatever religion you believe for proof of this last sentence!
in the beginning there was Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God..by Him everything was made and without Him nothing was made that was made
