Islamic people are governed by a theocratic government in which God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler, the God's or deity's laws being interpreted by the ecclesiastical authorities. Shariah law is enforced when laws are broken. It is extremely harsh and unforgiving. Here are the top ten reasons why sharia or Islamic law is bad for all societies.
10. Islam commands that drinkers and gamblers should be whipped. In 2001, Iranian officials sentenced three men to flogging not only for illicit sex (see reason no. nine), but also for drinking alcohol.
9. Islam allows husbands to hit their wives even if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives.
8. Islam allows an injured plaintiff to exact legal revenge—physical eye for physical eye. 2003, in Saudi Arabia a man had two teeth extracted under the law of retaliation.
7. Islam commands that a male and female thief must have a hand cut off. The reader should never lose sight of the fact that this punishment is prescribed in the Quran, the eternal word of Allah.
6. Islam commands that highway robbers should be crucified or mutilated. Remember Allah is all-merciful.
5. Islam commands that homosexuals must be executed. In February 1998, the Taliban, who once ruled in Afghanistan, ordered a stone wall to be pushed over three men convicted of sodomy.
4. Islam orders unmarried fornicators to be whipped and adulterers to be stoned to death.
Adultery:In December 2004, Amnesty International reports:An Iranian woman charged with adultery faces death by stoning. . She is to be buried up to her chest and stoned to death.
3. Islam orders death for Muslim and possible death for non—Muslim critics of Muhammad and the Quran and even sharia itself.
2. Islam orders apostates to be killed.
1. Islam commands offensive and aggressive and unjust jihad. Islam is violent—unjustly and aggressively. Sharia oppresses the citizens of Islamic countries. In contrast, the West has undergone the Enlightenment or the Age of Reason (c. 1600—1800+), so western law has been injected with a heavy dose of reason. Could or would you want this become law in the U,S.? Also check these videos about the effect of Islamification of Europe.
On the other hand, democratic societies are characterized by the principle of political or social equality for all: democratic treatment.
Socialist or socialism, any of various economic and political theories advocate collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.
Also, infractions or breaking of laws are dealt with in a less harsh punishment than Shariah law. Beheading and stoning no longer occur or tolerated.

I'm certain Ghazalli's Tahafut al-Falasifah (Incoherence of the Philosophers) was once instrumental in that. He believed persons like Ibn Sina and al-Farabi to be non-believers for the reason that in their ideals. He relatively didn't like Philosophy and propelled that each one solutions got here from tawasuf, sufism. He prompt that the mutakallimun have been at the beginning earnest and precise however have been later plagued via innovation and heresy.
