Ex-Muslim Abul Kasem speaking about sharia:

Yes, it is the heart and soul of Islam. Without Sharia Islam is a toothless tiger or a poisonless snake. Sharia empowers Islam with the legal power to enforce its draconian, barbaric, uncivilized, and cruel provisions. Sharia gives Islam the arms and legs to force the world to submit to Islam.

In many verses of the Koran Allah steadfastly announces that whoever deviates from Sharia is a kafir and he/they must be fought upon (i.e., killed) by the Muslims.

According to ibn Kathir, in verse 2:151, Allah declares that He had sent Muhammad (as a favor) to preach the Qur’an and to teach Sharia laws which the pagans of Mecca did not know.

According to verse 4:64 Allah had sent Muhammad to invite people to obey Allah’s orders, that is, Sharia laws.

To provide more fire power, ibn Kathir say that in verse 5:44, Allah declares that whoever does not want to abide by Allah’s law, Sharia, is a kafir. This includes the Christians ( 5:47 ). Mind you, in Islam, a kafir must be fought upon (killed) or forced to submit to Sharia laws.

In verse 9:73 Allah urges the believers (i.e., the Muslims) to make war on unbelievers and hypocrites and show firmness (be harsh) against them. The eminent exegete of the Qur’an, ibn Kathir writes that Allah has commanded the Muslims to fight with sword the disbelievers, to strive against the hypocrites with tongue and has annulled lenient treatment of them. According to ibn Kathir perform with sword jihad against the disbelievers and be harsh with the hypocrites with words; this means establishing Islamic penal laws, i.e. Sharia laws against them. Ibn Kathir further says that verse 9:73 cancels verse 2:256, the so-called verse on ‘no compulsion’ on religion.

Here are few more Qur’anic verses which unambiguously declare the supremacy of Sharia.

Allah will decide by His law (judgment, Sharia) between various sects (between the Jews and the Christians—ibn Abbas)…27:78

Allah is the Law-giver; He has appointed Muhammad to implement the only correct laws (Sharia laws)…45:18

Allah created the heavens and the earth to implement justice to all (Sharia law)…45:22

Muhammad is to strike hard against the unbelievers (fight them with weapons and armaments—ibn Kathir. Fight them with swords—Jalalyn), hypocrites (punish them according to Sharia laws—ibn Kathir) and to be firm (harsh) against them; the abode for the unbelievers and the hypocrites is hell…66:9

This is my point, that not everything comes from Qur’an and Sunnah.
if answers differ, then its very likely that the answer doesnt really come from islam, but from the opinions of different mullahs.

This is how Shari’ah is developed. It is not a single code, but much more complex. It is based on the Qur’an, Hadith, Consensus of Scholars (who think it through) and also analogical reasoning–they use analogies to come up with answers to these questions.
now the idea that sharia is modern, i’d really like to see evidences of that. can you help out?

I gave you one, the example about airplanes. It’s an issue that didn’t exist at the time of Muhammad, it’s a modern question, but the same tools are used to solve it. Another question, is it permissible to eat genetically modified foods that have been modified with materials that are haraam. Muslims are told not to select an aspirant person for public office, but in American democracy that’s why people run for office, they want to win, so should American Muslims vote or not? Another example of a modern problem.

Shari’a is flexible, it’s not a code like I said, and when the situation changes the ruling does too.

Why should anyone have to face in a specific direction to pray anyway? What you’re stating is not progressive in any way.

There are differences between the Islamic Allah,
and the Christian God.

Muslims believe that Allah is one person, the Father only, and Allah does not beget, therefore they don’t believe that Christ is God.

Of course this is contradictory to our understanding of
God as the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

There are other signifigant differences, but I can’t place them
at the moment. Pax.:signofcross:
