Well I’m not so sure about all this. Sharia has quite a lot going for it when you think about it. Stoning adulterers …. well why not???
OK so a few early birds would get a bit battered and bruised, but the rest would get the message ‘PDQ’ and it would in time bring down the illegitimate birth rate. THAT would save us all a lot of money.
Women to wear full islamic dress in public – covering themselves from head to toe. Well in a lot of cases that would be a positive improvement. No more rolls of lard with belly button piercings on full display.
Cut the hand off thieves – wow that’s a real winner. It would stop theft overnight. Mind you, most of the male population of Liverpool would soon be on disability benefit.
Yup, Sharia law sure is the way to go.

“Falling out of love” doesn’t necessarily confer upon either party the ‘right’ to have sexual intercourse with an other person, nor should it provide an excuse to do so.
Sharia law in this particular respect makes a thoroughly good point. If you enter into a marriage contract with somebody, then you have made a commitment not to betray them by having intercourse with somebody else. I don’t see the problem with this.
Agreed the penalty, usually directed towards females, sems to be pretty severe by our (Western) standards. Public stoning is rather severe. Maybe instead we could adopt the medieval custom of putting people in the stocks and bunging rotten fruit at them.
Given that some people think that even thinking about another in a lustful way is adultery, then if stoning was introduced – and of course, in these days of equality, applied to the men as well as the women – there wouldn’t be many people left chatting in JC…. :-

Thinking about adultery is adultery … and thats from the bible not any muslim laws
The seventh of the Ten Commandments, which God spake in the long ago, “Thou shalt not commit adultery” Exodus 20:14. This has always been God’s law. We are told in I John 3:4, that sin is the transgression of God’s law, therefore, to commit adultery is to transgress God’s law, and therefore, sin. Not only has God forbidden adultery, but the son of God himself said, “Whoso looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” Matthew 5:28. If the adulterous thought is sin, surely the adulterous act is sin. The Holy Spirit through the inspired apostle has told us plainly that adultery is a sin. Peter described some sinners of his day as having “eyes full of adultery, that cannot cease from sin” II Peter 2:14. Paul warned the Corinthians to “flee fornication” I Corinthians 6:18.
Under the law of Moses the penalty was death by stoning. (Deuteronomy 22:21 ff, John 8:4,5). Again, the only ground that God gave for divorcing one’s mate was sexual immorality. He said, “Whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery. And whosoever marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery” Matthew 5:32.
