Sharia law is nothing like canon law. Canon law is the Church's internal laws governing its structure and functions. It is explicitly distinguished from civil law. Sharia law is Islamic theocratic law —a form of government, essentially— that is imposed on all of society. https://t.co/FUXGZ1Qahm— James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) 29 December 2017
Ask the following question: Jewish halacha explicitly states that the law of each country is binding on the Jews living in it ("dina demalchuta dina"). What is the Islamic legal equivalent? (Real question: I don't know the answer.) https://t.co/3pzAbXpiru— Yoram Hazony (@yhazony) 30 December 2017
The point of an Islamic theocracy is that its laws would be binding on all citizens and residents, but, if you read the Koran, it envisages a diversity of citizenry including Jews, Christians and even pagans and guarantees freedom of belief with https://t.co/R585jqogaE— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) 30 December 2017
You will see from https://t.co/yhPQYjP9Op that Ecclesiastical/canon law was basically designed to protect the corrupt clergy from the consequences of their actions. Thankfully, this has now been abolished.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) 30 December 2017
The most notable feature about Islam is that it promotes the logic of theocracy in that it accepts the principle that your laws should conform to the morality of your chosen religion because this is what happens anyway just as water takes on the shape of the vessel containing it.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) 30 December 2017
Diaspora Jews rely on rabbis to maintain the morality of Judaism and Islam relies on sharia AKA theocracy to maintain Islamic morality. One would expect Israel of all places to be a theocracy, but I think informed people already know it is really an American colonial outpost.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) 30 December 2017
We know that Israel is but an American colonial outpost because the Jews in Israel behave as if they are still diaspora Jews, because it is rabbis who maintain the morality of these Israeli Jews rather than the laws of Israel. The laws of Israel are of course liberal.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) 30 December 2017
https://t.co/43NP7P5l0C demonstrates there is more than a little confusion about what is Liberalism and what is Conservatism. You will see from https://t.co/PuultByaL1 that these terms are just a conflation of what should be called "Westernism" which has morphed over the ages.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) 30 December 2017

If you agree that Conservatism was created to be "Theocracy Lite" in a defensive response to the ideas of the French Revolution, then we can see Liberalism as the desire for innovation and the desire to be free of the religious principles of the time.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) 30 December 2017
