I don’t see how any of that could possibly work under our constitution? What was Obama and his judges thinking?

A parallel (not to be confused with am equivalency) could certainly be made with Jewish law as found in their Bible/Christian Old Testament which is also not workable under our Constitution. Many of the proscriptions in the old Jewish law are similarly unworkable in our society. I’ve not seen anyone advocating for implementation of OT law, however. Not even in Israel, a Jewish state, follows the letter of the law.

A case can be made (as antithetical as it may sound) for cultural Islam which like cultural Christianity misses the point of the religion but keeps some of the more pleasant, social norms, activities and beliefs. Still, the problem with the Qur’an and hadith remain. A literal reading and much of the Islamic scholarship pushes adherents to at least radicalism if not terrorism.
