Please note that this event is being held on the 25th anniversary of the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut which killed 241 servicemen. Hezbollah carried out that attack. Hezbollah seeks to impose sharia on the "modern" country of Lebanon and has as its goal the establishment of an Islamic caliphate, which is one of the express objectives of sharia.

re: Is There a Role for Sharia in Modern States?

In a word, no. If you want me to expound then, HELL NO!

Everything about that religion is distasteful to me. Wish I could be more tolerant, but I'm out of patience in dealing with the 7th Century way of life.

No. Because a two-tier system of justice is not only discrimanatory but fundamentally unjust.

Britain just gave five sharia courts full powers in the last few days. IMO, that is tantamount to surrendering to a system that is different than your own.

Why should nations like Britain pander to the demands for Muslim rule in their nation? It’s pure suicide and nothing less IMO.

Five courts today, 300 tomorrow. No way in hell!

Only if you consider hell to be a modern state.

Sharia in any modern state?

NO! Absolutely not. There is not a shred of logic that supports implementing a barbaric, antiquated, religiously driven judicial system on ANY modern day state, anywhere.

Islam is a cancer on humanity.

Simple answer ... no. Why should there be? You want Sharia, stay in your own country.

Now that Sharia law applies in the caliphate's newest country: Britanistan(now they have to face Mecca during tea); it won't be long before they try to implement it here. I can see them arguing some twisted logic that this is allowed under the 1st amendment. Be aware America, once that happens owning dogs as pets, drinking beer, eating spare ribs, bacon and checking out chicks wearing bikinis will be forbidden under Sharia law. All porn will require that women are in burqas...goats can still be naked though.

Amazing how "separation of Church and State" only applies to Christianity.

What’s so modern about a 7th century murdering, child-molesting, illiterate, wife-beating cult?

Sure. It’s a great example of a set of primitive, proto-human practices and beliefs from about a thousand years ago that belong in the shameful dustbin of human historical failures.

Just as much room for Sharia as there is for Jim Crow and Judge Lynch law.

Sharia law denies individual liberty and freedom of religious expression and thus is perfectly suited for a governing a totalitarian theocracy.

Does Sharia law allow slavery?

It should be a very easy question for Islamic scholars to answer.

If it does then it has no place in the modern world.

Sherman Jackson, "Can Shari'ah be Reformed?"

I think under Sharia, you can be killed for even asking that.

Should be an interesting conference.

They can take their sharia law, and shove it.
