You claim sharia is only for the bad. The problem is who defines who is bad.
According to Islam, world life is temporary and an examination. The real life is the life after death.
But you prepare your endless life in world. Therefore Allah, shows the way how to make yourself ready in world for endless Hereafter life.
Well, only because you and others believe so doesn't make it a fact you can proof. No one can proof. Otherwise everyone would believe in god.
Besides that... not everyone wants to throw away his life on here in the hope of some glimmer after dead. For a materialist person this is simply foolish. Believing that all will be good after the life. No proof at all.
It was pretty good in the christian wars. God will love you when you kill muslims.
You surely agree that this is not a concept someone should follow.
Shaia is a system which organize human life.
All rules are written in Quran and an Islamic council interpret and organise to current life.
A unreligious person would ask you why should he follow rules that are written in an old book coming from dark ages where people killed each other regularly? It is only a book for them. Religious people are giving it the meaning.
When you would be born a christian you would believe in the bible the same way you believe in the quran now. Because you learned it that way, checked it for yourself and believed.
So which book to follow? God said the bible is the book, god said the quran is the book. Logically either both books are right or wrong. If they are right then they contradict each other and there would be a right thing in both that match in the other. But many things would have to be discarded.
Because every age has own new situation. Every country has own situation and according to situations laws and punishments may be flexible or softer.
That should not be possible. If the quran is the word of god then there is no interpretation. The christians have it easier. They have the new testament and can say that this is the new deal with god. All the archaic things like stoning are part of the past deal.
For example sharia has "talion" rule. This is Allah's order.
If you kill a man willfuly, you should know that you'll be executed by judgement.
Now i ask you. If one man kills your father or son willfuly, what do you do? Human nature wants to take revenge. Sharia takes your revenge instead of you.
So we have another rule in quran than in the bible. The bible says the way is to forgive and love. So both can't be truth.
What do you do when it's proven later that another man killed your father? Will you feel like a murderer too? You could have prevented it when that man still lives and can go free out of jail. Life can't be given back.
If one man steals a bread there's no punishment in Sharia because he was hungry.
If he does, it as like a profession he will be punished from soft to hardest penalty. The hardest punishment is to cut his hand .
By the way a state governed by Sharia should provide employment to all citizens and tax, rate can't be, more than %5.
If one man can't work for any reason like sickness, disability, etc., government should pay him salary for a living.
Every rules in Sharia have logical, reasonable reason.
Sure, every rule can be explained. It only doesn't mean that you have to kill a man because he killed a man. It might have some logic but makes you the same the man is.
In Islamic belief Allah wants to manage and organise human's world life before endless Hereafter.
Allah banned some bad treatments and behaviours in Quran.
You will not drink alcohol, because alcohol is bad and harmful.
You will not make adultery, because it is very bad and terminates family life.
You will not say lie.
You will not play gamble
You will not make gossip
You will not steal
You will not kill
You will not be greedy
You will not be stingy
How a religion can be bad which advices good and forbids bad?
Well, as long as people are free to harm themselfes with bad things it would be more free. It's up to them. It should be a religious rule but as punishment secular rules should apply.
And sure, every religion claims to know the truth and wants the good. The IS wants the good too... on the outside. That's where their new terrorists come from. And yes, they can show them that they are right. In the quran. It's simpel to do such things. Still... it's nothing that should be done.
I'm pretty sure all the cruel rules of the quran for punishment could be spoken away with other bigger rules like love and such. It's all up for interpretation. And it's pretty sure that such interpretations exist.
So what is a religion when it is interpreted by man and can be interpreted different ways? It's a mess.
Relgion should be something a person can follow to have faith and be a better man. As long as he does not push his opinion on others. It's the same with harming. One can harm himself if he wishes but society should step in when he harms others. And religious people unfortunately sometimes tend to harm others. There are such persons in all religions.
