What you are kidding me, no did not know all of that but not sure really. We don't have sharia here. Hey did you see my post on sharia law, maybe the answers are there. Here is what I know. Adultery, stoned to death, thief, cut off the hand, courts judged by the way of the quran requiring 4 witness. Rape is not stoned to death. Yes, it does bring dishonor to family. women may not be able to drive as in Saudia, I don't drive cause it is too dang dangerous. I take the bus for real cheap. 30 cents.

Remember Laura, a lot of things are propaganda, so this is to please the country of Swat only. Why so the jihadist won't attack and keep the US happy. Well you know I just don't know enough to comment. I would be wrong to state otherwise. Really I have to read the piece to know more.

Education is a must for women, I hope that is not true. Why are you a pagan. Does that mean Athiest?

Muslims don't judge people either way. I don't care what religion anyone is. It is not my business. Our business is to love everyone and spread the message. We are not mothers and cannot make anyone adhere to our beliefs. It is a hope that people will look at Islam in a different light. But what can I do. No religion is perfect but I was baptist for 30 years, na did not like that one, I was 4 square church before coming Muslim, I lived with a group of Mormons when I was 18, Girls. So I try to keep an open mind. My best friend in America is Budist. So I am open to discussing this subject but will try to learn more and get back with you. I took the pieces from Al jazera as they are the most accurate. I wouldn' trust CNN with a rock.
