| Fmeh.. it might be worth actually reading up on Sharia law... its not a singular thing, and varies wildly between country's.. granted, the gay thing is pretty much across the board, but believe me.. if the Fundies stateside had their way, you wouldn't be openly gay yourself. infact I'm willing to bet if they had their way things would be pretty similar...
Actually Fmeh... read up on Islam in general... Democracy for example was (and in the unbastardized version of Islam still should be) a basic tenet of Islam. also, oddly enough, Freedom of speech is an other tenet of the Koran. (I'll get the passages a bit later, I'm dashing off for now) a quick look yourself you'll find it pretty quickly.
Sadly, the crazys got hold of power.. as they have everywhere.. and used obscure lines from it to justify all these repressive rules...
another thing: Unjust killing is not rewarded by Allah and suicide bombings are unjust in the eyes of the vast majority of Muslims on the planet..
it Doesnt take long to find these truths.
