Honestly, I wonder why people always come up with punishment in sharia law. Sharia means much more than cutting hands and stoning people. By the way: It's almost impossible that all conditions are met to stone someone to death because of adultery.
I would be very glad, when those Islamic leaders we have with all their goods and bads, would be able to guarantee Muslims in the first place to practice their religion in freedom, without any fear and struggle. Nevertheless, before that, we need stability in Islamic countries. In the first place Syria and Irak; when the leaders could manage that, and help our brothers and sisters stop suffering over there, a huge step to sharia would be taken, I guess. But what I see is, we didn't understood the basics and try to adapt things that are irrelevant in the first place. Like someone who has no home but orders furniture. And in the long term, furniture is not important at all, even when you build your home. It's a think of respect and mercifulness. Just look at the people in non-Muslim countries they convert to Islam, even there are this attacks "in the name of Islam". Just imagine Muslims would not be in the newspapers because of these negative stuff, but because of stories of rahma, just imagine how many people would convert to Islam than, but I am deviating from the topic, sorry. :-)
