As far as marriage, a woman can have only one husband, but a man can have up to four wives. As for worship, a Muslim who leaves the faith is to be killed, and as far as finance, a female heir inherits only half of what a male inherits. These are just a few examples of orthodox Sharia law.
For certain crimes, such as theft, blasphemy, and adultery, traditional interpretations of Islamic law prescribe punishments that are considered draconian compared to those in most modern legal systems. Among them are the hudud punishments, which include stoning, lashing, and amputation.
women are property of the man. the man can beat and maim her and nothing is done. i've seen pictures of the "melted" faces of wives who the husbands threw acid on.
No and we want to keep it that way. There should not be two sets of rules for two sets of people. For example in India, there are religion-specific civil codes that separately govern adherents of different religions. There are separate codes of law for Muslims, Christians, and Hindus that deal with divorce, inheritance, and other civil matters. You may think this is fair, but it is very antithetical to western viewpoints to impose separate sets of laws on people living in the same country.
We don't have separate laws for separate people. That's the issue.
Nowhere in the US is it legal to do any of the things that's been mentioned here.
It's like people hear the word "law" in Sharia law, and they think it's actually legally accepted or required here. It's not.
It's like saying "Jewish law" or "Christian law". It's just some standard cultural practices that people of a given religion generally live by. And it's not a universal belief. All Christians don't believe the same thing, do they? It also doesn't mean people won't expect to follow the laws of the land they live in. It just means they have to decide if their religious beliefs outrank their freedom and/or life.
For an example, there have been Christians who have shot and killed abortion doctors because they think it went against God. Did they expect to get a free pass because it was a religious killing?
How does sharia law view religious conversion? Conversion by Muslims to other faiths is forbidden under most interpretations of sharia and converts are considered apostates (non-Muslims, however, are allowed to convert into Islam). Some Muslim clerics equate this apostasy to treason, a crime punishable by death.
I know what it is.
I'm asking you what you think it is.

what more do you want from me??
Ok, where is any of that legal in the US?

Ok, so where is it legal for them to kill anyone in the US?
Everything you've listed here is already illegal.
You are missing all the points.
It’s not legal now, and it was codified that it can’t become legal later.
Go check how many masjids are in some area to see why anyone might be concerned about it.
If they're not going to respect the law where it is already illegal, why would they respect it being codified as well?
not if certain places within the USA allow them to have Sharia Law.
acc'd to the headline, Texas is banning Islamic Sharia law throughout the state. so muslims want to bring Sharia law here.
what is it that either you or I am not getting? they cannot have Sharia law in this country.
What do you not get about it being nonsensical to make new bills to ban things that are already illegal?
Where in the US do you know that is planning to make murder and polygamy and assault legal?
