It is apalling that muslims try to defend aancient, medieval and outdated sharia law as a scientific text and by bringing bogus figures of crime rate in countries where it is implemented. BTW the heiniest and the worst crime were perpetuated by Taliban against women and society when they were in power. Make no mistake that once US forces entered Afghanistan there was a rejoice among masses and a mad rush to shave beards.Even in Saudi Arabia their is rampant hangings on charges of rape, robberies etc. Recent is the public hangning of 7 in Iran. So Sharia has failed in terms of stopping crimes, inspite of Saudi being one of the most wealthiest nation. Every thrusday there is a mad rush for Saudi cars crossing the border to Dubai for merry making(boozing and prostitution)jsut to show how much vice has been controlled by their holy Sharia law.
Further, most of the muslim nations have worst records in terms of Human development indices and human rights for not only minorities but also their own brethern. Darfur in Sudan is another glaring example where arabs are killing black muslims.
It will be good if Muslims of the world stop preaching democratic societies in the world and do a serious introspect or else they will spend rest of their lives defending/justifying their faith or killing others and their own people.
