    The last time we were entirely ruled by those books, it was known as the Dark Ages

    But that’s a Europe thing you know.
    EDIT: actually western Europe.

      I thought that by always referring to books in the plural, calling it the desert trilogy, and mentioning the Dark Ages, it was obvious that I’m not singling out the burning of the Qur’an as good… in my country, it’s not Muslims who have infected politics and try to push religious law, but a sect of fundamentalist Christians… yet, the laws they want pale in comparison to sharia, so I feel sorry for countries with people on the streets calling for sharia.

        only things that I know of “sharia” from Qur’an are:

        • one hundred lashes for adultery,
        • eighty lashes for accusing chaste women of adultery and failing to produce four witnesses,
        • Qisas,
        • cutting the hand of the thieves (when very specific conditions are met),
        • total prohibition of interest in debt,
        • hiraba

        I wish you criticize them only if the laws of your country solved these problems efficiently (unless you don’t consider them problems),
        And it is kinda strange that you’re hurt when you didn’t have contact with Islam?
