I suppose the subject that is most relevant to the discussion is criminal punishments within Shariah law, so I recommend the following article for a comprehensive view: Crime and Punishment in Islam

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Surely I was sent to perfect the qualities of righteous character" [Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Mâlik]
Asallama Alaikum may Allah forgive the 2 people that died.If Islamic Law was established in Britian and America no doubt it would be thriving in every way possible.Jazakallah Ansar for the links bro czgibson hope it's useful.Best regards my bad salams.
salams brothers , all praise is due to allah and the peace and blessings be upon the prophet of all mankind,as to what follows, dear brothers in islam allah the most high says in the glourious quran{wa man lam yahkum bimaa anzala allahu fa ulaaaika humul kafiirun} translated {and whom soever
does not rule with what allah has reaveled for verily thay are the disbelivers} these brothers that have done these attacks insha allah may allah except them in the highest of paradises, and if any of your family got enjuird in the attacks thay insha allah will be with the martyrs on the day of judgment.
and the govenment of bangladsh are helping the americans to kill the mujahideen in iraq, these brothers are trying to help the brothers in iraq by trying to stop the govenment from killing our beloved brothers.so i ask allah to make us all from the patient .wa jazakumu ullahu khyran,wa salamu alykum wa rahmatu ukllahi wa barakatuh
I would very much like to discuss Shariah law with you. Since it is off-topic on this thread, perhaps we could start a new one, or if one already exists you could move this post to it. Thank you for the links as well.

Don't you think it's a little premature to assume that I haven't studied Shariah law? Admittedly, my knowledge of it is not as extensive as yours (or others' on the forum), but I know enough about it to know that I would oppose such a system being introduced in Britain.
Briefly, here are my reasons for this view:
1. Capital punishment. Either killing is wrong, or it isn't. To say that it is wrong for a member of the public to kill, but that it is permissible for the state to kill that person seems to me to be hypocritical.
2. Punishment for theft. I believe that cutting off someone's hand is barbaric. Simple as that.
3. Banning of all intoxicants. I believe that everyone should have the right to use any intoxicant at all, if that is their wish. Contrary to current British law, I believe that all drugs should be legalised forthwith.
These are the main reasons why I would oppose the introduction of Shariah law in Britain. While I think the current British legal system is far from perfect, I do not think Shariah law would be a valid solution.
I have one question:
What would be the legal status of music and other art forms under Shariah law? Would music be banned, as it was (is?) in Iran? How about artworks which are perceived to be contrary or insulting to Islam, such as Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses"?
I believe this could be a most interesting discussion, but, as I said, perhaps on another thread.
