Back to my original point that Islam is incompatible with democracy and societal advancement, regardless of the fact that not all Muslims agree with all of it:
Quote:
"Where an explicit command of God or His Prophet already exists, no Muslim leader or legislature, or any religious scholar can form an independent judgment Quote: | not even all the Muslims of the world put together, have any right to make least alteration to it". | Source: Islamic Law and Constitution - Maolana Mawdudi.
Believing so is regarded as alliance to Islam itself. All books on Sharia law unequivocally maintain this dictum.
Yet Sharia is not merely a codification of laws. It is the main pillar of Islamic theocracy. To its followers it is God's divine command to establish a global Islamic State in order to apply Sharia. In that sense, Sharia is the constitution of the institution of Political Islam, which is defined by its founding father, Maolana Mawdudi (1903-1971) as: -
"Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere in the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam�.. If the Muslim Party commands adequate resources it will eliminate un-Islamic governments and establish the power of Islamic governments in their stead." -

Can Sharia (Islamic Law) work in the 21st Century?: Free Muslims Coalition
I used to defend Islam on many grounds - primarily being that it is ingrained in some of us that to do otherwise is racist or intolerant or whatever. But I'm not going to be held back by political correctness any longer.
Islam is a threat, to its own people and to others. So is radical Christianity, but I don't seem them anywhere close to the threat of a religion that is ruling so much of the world, and is the fastest growing.
