There are eight recognized different schools of thought regarding. They are all highly illiberal, drawing as they do from highly illiberal source material.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhhab

The only one lacking understanding is you. I highly suggest you read the Koran and the Hadiths. I also suggest you also read Qutb and the statements from IS's leader and chief spokesman as I have. Perhaps you will learn something. Perhaps you will remain so wedded to your cultural relativism you will remain blind.[/quote]

Originally you said, "The question that should be asked of Muslims is whether they support Sharia law." There is not a single agreed-upon "Sharia law". So, as a result, two people could both answer affirmatively while actually supporting much different things. The Sharia law found in Indonesia, for instance, is much different from that found in Afghanistan.

But, now you have gone a step further. Now you suggest that I "read the Koran and the Hadiths". I have read the Quran and have both English and Arabic versions on a shelf in front of me. I no longer have sufficient Arabic to read the version in that language, though I once did. However, your point now, apparently, is that the problem is not actually "Sharia law", but the "Koran and the Hadiths". So, your issue is not with Sharia law, but Islam itself. But, then you completely lose logic by referring to "IS's leader and chief spokesman" as if IS has any standing with regard to Sharia law outside the territory it controls. Do you see how your thought process went from "those who support Sharia law" to "the Quran and Hadiths" to "the leader of IS" as if they were all the same thing? That is really revealing.
