Muslim in Tennessee screws up, and hints they do support the worst of sharia
WBIR reported about the protests staged by Muslims in Tennessee against the legislation to ban sharia in US courts, and one person certainly didn't help matters there (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):
In the Koran, this is certainly taught in the following: "As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise." -- Sura 5:38 Is that something we want in a civilized country? The Tennessee legislation would do well to make clear that this kind of savagery is simply unacceptable in any society.
"People have this idea that Shariah is just chopping people's hands, but Shariah is a way of life for us," said Arshia Shah, a lawyer originally from Britain who now lives in Sparta and came to the Capitol with her husband and two daughters. "It's prayer. It's how we deal with our spouses. And to tell people that they can't practice this - that they're doing something wrong - is a great concern."Notice how she didn't say that sharia didn't involve chopping. Nobody said it was only about that, but if it does involve amputation, that's definitely one thing that must be made illegal.
