Is Sharia worse than Halakah?

Recommended Posts

Some Muslims in the US submit themselves to more law than required by the state; it's called Sharia.

Some Jews in the US submit themselves to more law than required by the state; it's called Halakah.

There are varying degrees of observancy, all the way from fully integrated people, to self-isolated societies that don't even use the US court system unless absolutely required (google Kiryas Joel sometime :)
Yet somehow there are all kinds of objections to Sharia, and you never, ever, hear about objections to Halakah.

Yes, the preponderance of terrorists these days seem to come from the Middle East and Muslim Africa. 40 years ago, they came from Ireland and Germany.

So what makes them different, other than that one is "the evil Moozlim" and the other "the noble Jew."

Personally, I believe that the laws that OUR country was founded on and whatever laws are on the books wherever you are in the United States of America takes precedence. No religious sect can impose religious law and punishment that violates constitutional law.

Wasn't there a case of some Amish elders getting arrested for assault or something by cutting the beards off of people in their community that didn't follow their rules?

I'm pretty sure that most Jews who don't want to submit to Halakah are not threatened with death. Unless I'm mistaken, I haven't heard of Jews being put to death for Apostasy.

I think this is the biggest issue for most people when it comes to Sharia Law, it's the taking away of peoples rights against their will in the name if religion.

I'm pretty sure that this is not in accordance with American values. There is a difference between willingly submitting to something and having something forced upon you.

Not unlike, for example, the commonality of Catholics submitting to sub-group social pressure to seek ecumenical annulments as a means of "legitimizing" their divorce, or, conversely, the considerable pressure the clergy of the Catholic Church puts on their laity to force them to remain in broken marriages by often making annulments difficult, and in some cases, refusing them.

By further example, also see, generally, Christian Ecclesiastical Courts.

None, but mohels sucking baby dicks with open wounds are giving herpes to children during their circumcision ritual and nobody is doing anything about it because of the sanctity of the dumb ass religion*.

Well, the fun part of this it while the "Muslim Haters" scream that Sharia law is being put in place in the US, they conveniently ignore the fact that there are "Jewish Police" operating openly in NYC.

They don't seem to be running around enforcing Halakah, but they do seem to be controversial.

I think the issue is one of submitting themselves. Obviously, kids have no choice. But if an adult wants out of Halaka they can get out.

Sharia has been different. If in an area where Sharia is the rule you must submit to it. Practitioners of Sharia advocate for its imposition on people. And if a 14 year old girl speaks out against it then she risks being assassinated.

Sometimes neighborhood watch groups work well, but other times they go overboard (and unlawful) like this and should be reined back in. As I recall sometimes the Guardian Angels deserved (or at least received) similar criticism.

At least LEO agencies do psych screening to weed-out the wack jobs.
Yeah, right. Where's my sarcasm emoticon?

I don't think that would be an issue in the US, which is where Americans are objecting to the possibility of sharia.

Any self-isolated cult will have proponents who try to "save the children" (always think of the children :P) and prevent them from leaving. Or, as in the case of some Mormon groups, force the boys to leave so there are more girls for the elders.

My objection is to singling out specific groups, rather than identifying objectionable behavior.

this.. extreme religious ideologies. The belief of a higher being is not an issue with me rather than the ideologies that come along with certain beliefs that extremists of each religion have
