It doesn't speak volumes Lowing, the only reason I resort to personal name-attacking is because your own methodology of proving a personal thesis in debate is to reach false conclusions and assumptions, extending small holes in other people's arguments to somehow magically prove your own correctness. Doesn't work like that.
If you had read my posts you would see that I considered the singular example of wrong judgement in the Shariah court in the same way that a bad judgement is made in the British Crown Court or American Supreme Court- bad decisions get made all the time, it doesn't imply that every Christian walking around these nations is a child-molester or an approver of such misconduct. Legally, Christianity and US law allows innocent people to burn on the electric chair, so by that fact would you extend your logic to denounce all of your co-patriot brethren?
You may not consider yourself a Christian anymore, but it would be naive to suppose that a lack of faith or participation in organised religion somehow makes you immune to the cultural morality and belief system that you are very much an integrated part of. Unless you are anything short of an American revolutionary, a posit which your political stance clearly proves as being absurd, then you're hardly exempt from the Christian influences on your everyday thought, reasoning and judgement. It's impossible to disassociate yourself from these preconceptions that are ingrained in you from a young age by whatever society and company you are raised in. Your prejudices and hasty willingness to discredit and flame Islam into oblivion are a clear indicator of your religious bullshittery. No one else cares to create some elaborate arguments or discriminations against an entire region of the world and its entire population off one fucking court-case alone.
Look, I will not buy your argument that Sharia Law made a "mis-judgement" simply because not all parties were in agreement to the selling of this girl. And if ALL parties were in agreement that this would prove Sharia Law works!!
I have read your posts, kinda sorta how I knew I was being personally attacked rather than debated.
You want to argue that this is fine because it happens in Christian countries as well. This might be true, but it does not happen with the approval of our justice system, and is not accepted morally. When this is exposed, it is dealt with, and is punishable.
You have done everything to defend Islam in this even going as far as t ocall it a mis-judgement. Talk about an understatement. Even then, you only deem it a mis-judgement because you think ALL parties should be in agreement for you to sign off on this.
SO yes, your attitude, it does speak volumes
Also this is not one court case alone. this is a judgment passed down to the entire NATION that practice is LEGAL and BINDING. Hardly an isolated incident
