re: #107 Obdicut

Nobody did make that comparison.

They made the comparison to a legal system allowing a religious system to operate within it in the form of agreed-upon arbitrators.

OK, that makes sense. I see the anti-Sharia folks making the claim that Sharia arbitration courts will not operate within the civil constraints that are accepted by Jewish rabbinical courts. But the point is that Sharia courts, just like rabbinical courts, are not allowed to operate outside the constraints that civil law places on them. A Sharia court will not be allowed to carry out a death penalty, and if they should do so, they would be prosecuted for murder.
