Law & Justice

!

Shariah is barbaric.

✓

Islamic Response:

Quran 4:135 demands justice even against oneself; due process and equal accountability are core.

  • High evidentiary bars (e.g., four witnesses for adultery).
  • Caliph Umar suspended hand‑cutting during famine.
⚖

Biblical / Talmudic comparison:

  1. Num 15:32‑36: Stick‑gatherer stoned on Sabbath.
  2. Deut 22:20‑21: Bride stoned at her father's door.

Is it fair to call Islam 'barbaric' without applying the same to Mosaic stoning laws?
