  • Sharia penal code, rejection,rejection through loopholes or applikation
     OP - February 26, 2015, 02:10 PM
    There are three ways that different muslims deal with the interpretation of the penal code of Islamic law(barbaric laws such as limb chopping,stoning and flogging) . The first one is rejection both in theory and in practice. The second one is acceptance in theory, but rejection through the use of loopholes in practice, either because of emotional(moral) reasons or because of interpretation. The third one is one of both acceptance in theory and in application.

    In the first case, no matter what conditions are fulfilled, rejection is clear both in theory and in practice. In the second case, a person may believe in ideal conditions that would render application practically impossible, but theoretically possible. An ideal condition could be that there's absolute certainty, or that there are no liars and sinners. It could be that those condition haven't been fulfilled for hundreds of years or since the death of the prophet anywhere in the world. This is similar to the loopholes given to avoid riba(interest or usury) in Islamic banking. In the third case the application itself is believed to produce such ideal conditions.

    "Rejection of application through use of loopholes but acceptance in theory"

    Yes, I'm afraid I used to be one of those who thought that in some 'perfect' Islamic State everything would be wonderful and the punishments were just deterrents that would never be implemented.

    I tried to avoid thinking about it too deeply and if people pointed to examples of barbaric Muslim regimes I would use the standard:

    "Oh that's not a true Islamic State" or "they are misinterpreting Islam"

    Yep, 'fraid so... <hangs head in shame>

    Yeah, funny you would mention that, Abu. I used to justify (to myself) the implementation of Sharia in an "ideal Islamic State" as well, but somehow after I apostatized I lost the ability to even understand that argument anymore. What the fuck does "ideal Islamic State" even mean and why is that a pre-requisite for applying Sharia? Islam does weird thing to the brain.

    what a simple and silly question from Naerys., I guess CEMBers are loosing their Islamic minds..  Let me give good links to answer that question..

    How would an ideal Islamic state in today's world be?


    he Ideal Islamic State

    Ideals of the Islamic State

    brainless fools talk superficial Utopian nonsense to make  1000 year old cave dwellers silly statements as rules for building modern state and 21st century life..

    My guess is that those who'd vote 'support in practice and theory'  are ex salafists, if outside of pakistani/indian/bangladeshi heritage, where it could be ex deobandi(?). Am I right?

     Reply #6 - February 27, 2015, 06:56 PM
    I certainly wasn't salafi or deobandi, and I supported them in both practice and theory, and I didn't really think they needed to wait until an "ideal Islamic state", as things that were good as a part of Islam had a moral good in and of themselves. Then again I was pretty young and naive though, so that might have played a role in that whole outlook.  Tongue

    I think that it's often salafists/deobandis,when talking about sunni Islam, that are the most likely to fit nr 3, but others may do so also.Though Im not sure if its common.

    To comment on my own position...I didn't believe in apostasy from Islam being punishable either in theory or in practice. I also found many of the laws in the penal code to be awful, though the only way to interpret them seemed to have been by setting impossible conditions to avoid application. I must say it felt like a punch in the gut every time I discovered something awful, and I wasn't even comfortable with even the impossible conditions.

    I supported it in theory, and partially in practice. I was a bit uncomfortable with accepting it, but hey, Sadaqallahul azeem, so I had to accept it. I accepted that every punishment should be practiced, but then I heard that apostates should also be killed, this was too much for me, and I was scared to look up the hadith on that, so I just shut up when people talked about that subject and hoped that they were wrong. They were not..

    Though this isn't a scientific poll, does this mean that exmuslims prior to leaving adopt either position 2 or 3, before leaving Islam. Essentially, that it comes to a point were you have to believe the text or you deliberately reject it. How many, I wonder, go from alternative 1 and 2, to alternative 3 before leaving as a consequence....

    I would choose  #1 mainly

    However, for child murderers, peodophiles, murders, rapists and heinous crimes against humanity in sorry I would agree to some sort of corporal punishment. It's sounds harsh writing it but if someone raped or murdered my child  Huh?

    How could anyone call themselves Muslim, unless it's some sort of ideological standpoint (agnostic Muslims wink wink), while rejecting shariah? I've never met one. Unless thet viewed themselves as first non-believing, eho then became religious "born again", to eventually leaving it all together. Even met thugs who do drugs and other law breaking practices, along with morally "questionable" acts, still say (very vaguely) that they think "shariah is good".

    What category? The "thugs"? They aren't an intelectual bunch, but some of them say we Muslims and shariah is just but know nothing about it. When confronted by reality, it's "not real Islam, those are lies". Etc...

    I'm still talking about nr 1. That was my point. As for nr 2, that's a large part of the Muslim world, and that is what is keeping people from progression. Clinging on to something that doesn't work.
