I am highly versatile indeed!

That isn't true, you really need to read proper history and no go by sweeping sterotypes.. read about the history of visigoths.. many people considered Muslims to be liberators not the oppressors!
Sure, and again, I think most, besides crazy right wing nuts, would admit that religious minorities under Islamic law generally had a much better time than under Christian theocracies.
However, Religious minorities, as I understand it, are still not equals. For instance not being able to testify aghinst Muslims in court, as always I am perfectly willing to be proven wrong.
Turkey isn't an Islamic state, and Islam isn't responsible for how a mainly viking like turkey understood Islam to be, any more than it is responsible for how the Mongols understood Islam to be..
:?
I never said Turkey was, I think most people would consider the Ottoman empire as an Islamic state, however.
The Muslim world was seized by genghis khan and later his grandson converted to Islam.. we can't help it if savagery and barbarism is in their blood.. You can only hope when they do convert they become the best Muslims, often times people aren't..
I don't know what this relates to:?
Let's say, you've had a heroin addiction before you became Muslim, and plainly doing drugs goes against Islamic teaching, but, you find it hard to kick your habit, or do for the sake of your religion find it difficult and then revert to your old ways, on the account it is something your body has grown accustomed to.. Should Islam and Muslims take credit for how you are as an individual?
alright
Show me one law in Islam that legalizes inferiority then!
:?
I don't know of one set body of doctrin that IS shariah law, in most places that have had it however, we see inferiority of woman, non-muslims not being allowed to testify aghinst Muslims in court, not allowed to cary weapons, not allowed to ride atop a horse, etc
Saudi Arabia is a monarchy, I don't know if you have noticed.. true khilafah runs on a shura system.. there is a counsel and people vote yes even women!
:?
alright
If the people of South Dakota want to live under Shariah law that's fine with me so long as people are free to leave and they don't force it on others
You are painting with wide brush strokes, I have no idea how to attempt a reply to that.. merely since it doesn't actually merit one!
I think we both are.
Look, name an Islamic State that you would say embodies Shariah law, and we'll look at it.
You'd be a fool if you averted your eyes to a very real and existing cast system..
Cast system is a bit strong, I would agrea that there is de facto inequality in American society, that is significantly different from institutionalized, legal inequality.
It doesn't have to be Indian style pariahs or brahmins.. but one really does exist.. and not just in term of religion/race/creed but even between the sexes.. and on the highest levels.. You apply for a job as a female Intensivist for an ICU in any affluent hospital and see if you rake up the same salary as your male counterpart.. which they often justify under the guise of, women simply don't work as many hours, taking time for childbirth, breastfeeding etc[/QUOTE]
Sure, however that is something that can, and likely in the future, will be corrected, much different than the state mandating that employers MUST pay women less.
