take yourself for example, what if you were in a similiar situation where you and your family faced persecution and/or death for standing up to your oppressors? what if they took one of your kids? or your wife? you should think about it as if you were in there shoes, have a little empathy and that might help you to better understand the situation.
and i never said i support the muslim brotherhood, that is what you assumed which is your mistake. i simply believe as dr. king stated, 'all men are created equal' and i refuse to judge anyone based on their religious beliefs

There are numerous schools of thought regarding what is and is not Sharia, with both minor and major disputes between them being common.
In a country where 82 % of muslims support stoning people for adultery and 84 % support death penalty for apostates, guess which one will it be..

how did they get the statistics? did they do a poll? and if they did, did every single person answer? odds are the answer to that question is NO. what you have is a statistic that is either made up (did you know 50 percent of all statistics are made up?) or that is inaccurate due to the fact that the vast majority of the people didn't even participate!
come on man!

Oh for crying out loud, be afraid, be very afraid, don't step outside of the box or LOOK you will be stamped down by the evil forces of Islam. This site is becoming far too politically polar, and religiously polar. So many threads just trying to work various factions against each other.
The people had a right to do what they did, if in fact they did it and not our own CIA. However if these people want Sharia law, then so be it, its none of your business, if they dont, then they can ask for help and we would then be within rights to offer it.
Christians burned millions to death over the years, where is all the outrage there? In fact I dont put it past christians do murder in the name of fear and control now either. What is the difference? Different color of the same racism?

It is allready discussed in this thread
Oh Muslims, how much longer.
This is a current event news item of the 19th of April 2011. So no you cannot derail it by saying it is discussed over there or wherever. Nice try with the nothing to see here agenda, which was predictable.

It is entirely relevant. You are being lead around by your nose by the prevailing fear mongering of the present day in order to line the pockets and back the interests of the Machiavellian "hidden interest" of today as much as many others have been in times past. Your inability to see through the shroud of your own ignorance of Machiavelli does not invalidate my response to your thread.

I am not trying to debunk your thread i was merely pointing out that in an previous thread allready was stated that egypt would go the sharia way.
but said “enforcement of Sharia punishments will need time and will only come after Islam is planted in every heart and masters the life of the people . . .”

You can read the pdf next to the title for details. They used a sample of 1000. Results are with an accuracy of +-4%.
Are you aware of the elementary fact that not everyone needs to participate to get statisticaly meaningful result?edit on 19/4/11 by Maslo because: (no reason given)edit on 19/4/11 by Maslo because: (no reason given)

You started out arguing in favor of not being against sharia law.
You tried the innocent appearing trick of "how do you define sharia"
Then moved on to the time honored favorite of marginalizing radicals role by "all muslims are taliban?" and "there are extremists in every religion".
When that didn't work you attempted, and I still can't believe how pathetic this is, "but extremists got all the guns"
And now we move on to a sort of last ditch derailer attempt, ".what if you were in a similiar situation ?"
I'll answer that,
It doesn't matter what I would do, just like it doesn't matter that the radicals got guns, or if all groups have extremists. The fact is sharia law exists, there are historical examples of it's implementation and there are live versions of sharia law out in the wild right now that anyone can go look at to see what it is like. It is backwards and oppressive.
Now we move on to the final trick in your book here. The don't judge people card. "i refuse to judge anyone based on their religious beliefs " you said.
Sharia law is being judged, not a person.
Muslim Brotherhood is being judged, an organization not a person.
So you see there are no people being judged just a system and an organization, much like judging everyones favorites around here, TPTB and the banking system.
