Heya John, I read your pm which was a month past due I guess Sorry bud, been busy. Sharia law? Are you freaking kidding me. John, here are some of the rules and laws one has to follow under such a law.
Question: What is the ruling concerning celebrating birthdays?
Response: Celebrating birthdays has no source whatsoever in the pure shariah. In fact, it is an innovation, since the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
"Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours that does not belong to it shall have that action rejected."
Question: I have a brother-in-law who rarely prays. I live with my husband's family and [the female members of] his family sit with him even if the Imam is praying. What should I do? I am not one of his relatives (mahram). Is there any sin upon me since I do not have the ability to advise him?
Response: If he does not pray, then he is deserving to be boycotted. You should not greet him nor should you respond to hit greeting, until he repents. This is because not praying is a great form of kufr [that takes one out of the fold of Islam]. This is true even if the person does not deny that it is obligatory. This is according to the most correct opinion among the scholars. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
"The covenant that is between us and them [the disbelievers] is the prayer. Whoever abandons it has committed blasphemy."
Question: I sent requests asking for a maid to help my wife with her housework. I discovered, through letters, that they did not find a Muslim in the country that I wanted a maid from. Is it allowed for me to hire a non-Muslim maid?
Response: It is not allowed to have a non-Muslim maid or a non-Muslim male servant, or a worker who is non-Muslim for anyone living in the Arabian Peninsula. This is because the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered the Jews and Christians to be expelled from that land. He ordered that only Muslims should be left there. He decreed upon his death that all polytheists must be expelled from this Peninsula.
Those are just a few goodies you get with "Sharia Law"

get your facts straight......it's the sharia law <b>as interpreaed </b>by your source (which you desired to keep unknown)
<b>Question: What is the ruling concerning celebrating birthdays? </b>
Islam supports the celebration of birthdays if it is an expression of gratitude to Allah for His bounties, sustenance and blessings in man’s life, as long as that celebration does not include anything that may displease Allah, the Almighty. In this context the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about fasting on Mondays, and he answered: “It is the day on which I was born.” Muslim scholars take this hadith and the hadith of fasting on the Day of `Ashura’ (10th of Mharram) as evidence on the permissibility of celebrating good occasions, which have special significance in our religion such as occasions like the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
It is also right to say that such celebrations contain some aspects of innovation, however it is an innovation in matters of popular habits not in matters of religion. Actually innovation in habits is not prohibited. What is prohibited in this context is innovation in religion, as indicated in a well-known Prophetic hadith.

similar question >> My Husband Does Not Pray: Can I Get Divorced?
Thus, the Council sees in this case that should the woman hold hope of her husband’s repentance and that she may have a role in offering him advice that could lead him to a better state of conduct, then she ought to be tolerant, even if he does not pray or if he drinks alcohol. This tolerance becomes more of an obligation should the couple have children, who may go astray or be negatively affected by any separation.

similar question >> Should the Maid be Christian or Muslim?
When we have to choose someone to work for us, we should look for two important things in him/her: personal skills and honesty. If we find these characteristics in a Muslim, it is incumbent on us to employ him/her. If not, we may employ someone from other religions.

TO John Doe:
1. your welcome.
2. Ofcourse you wouldn't know about the meeting, there was none!
3. He fights against the Americans in Saudi Arabia, he helped Sudan alot and concidered a "national Heroe"there by feeding the Sudanese. Never claimed that he did 9/11 despite a fake video known as the "Taleban Home Video". In his interview, he didn't do the Khobar bombings of American Soldiers, but praised the attacks.
4. Well if Americans would stop bombarding and invading Islamic nations, i am sure that it would be less often, and more to the non violent Jihad.
5. No comment, i don't know the Iranian Government well.
6. What do u think the Iraqis chose? Let's see, when there was Saddam, there was no continous car bombs, or 2 Iraqi cities that is not under control. The Iraqis chose Saddam, not the Americans who "liberated" Iraq. In Iraq during Saddam's time, they couldn't spaek out against the government, but with America they can't even get married with out a gunship blowing them to pieces.
7. There is no excuse to starve a million people and bomb hundreds of thousands more. I saw Iraqis getting killed by Americans, rather than Saddam's palaces gettin bombed. I hope Sadr is president, he is a man of the people.

"I think overall nobody is happy with the current situation but I think in the long run (and it will be a while) the Iraqi people will be better off."
Dont u think the "long run" was suppose to finish by one year of Iraqi Occupation? NO!!! The sane assumption of the "long run" would be more than 10 years, Najjaf won against the occupiers.

"coalition of the willing"
more like the "coalition of the diseased" with all their plague spreading in defenceless nations.
"What did they "win" exactly ? Has it changed anything ? Did it achieve any significant goal ?"
It wasnt the point of gaining wealth or possesion, but to drive away the kufar from holy grounds, and achieved his significant goal.
" My view of Sadr is that he is not particularly intellegent, a poor leader and basically a well armed (possibly by Iran) thug fighting a proxy war possibly on behalf of the Iranian and other arab states."
Seems logical, since its in your view.....
"The best way to get the occupiers out would be to cooperate in the shorterm."
I dont think America and the "coalition of the diseased" went to iraq for charity... The nations that helped america are for the money, Spain realized that money is not worth at the expense of it's people, so they were "cured" and left Iraq. America will have a permenant base in Iraq, look at Bosnia, 10 years after the war americans are still there, now they decided to keep a permanent military base there. So america helps nations, that they see of there interests. In Rwanda, a million people slained, but the Americans didnt go to their help.

"I think you are exaggerating here."
explain....
"Well HURRRAH for Sadr !! The citizens of Najaf can be thankful for that."
The citizens are more than thankful.
"You have a different view ? Please share."
Yes, He is a man for the people, after all he would defend najjaf till his last drop of blood. He isnt a poor leader,with his leadership he managed to hold of the americans and make them leave Najjaf, despite of superior military forces, a successful leader. I also think that he was armed by Iran, but his "proxy war" Isnt for arab states or Iran.
"And certain nations (France) didn't go because of money. I don't know what the thinking behind going into Iraq was and I didn't agree with it at the time but right now I would like to see the quickest exit."
Their are no quick exits, as long as America keeps her agendas in mind.
"The UN is supposed to take care of a lot of this but doesn't. Remember, the Americans went into the Balkans without UN approval against a man who was committing genocide against Muslims. Damned if you do, damned if you don't."
Let me explain more, America has a permanent base in Bosnia, ofcourse they wouldn't need the U.N approval, they would always make up any excuse, and I dont think they cared if the Bosnians were muslims. As for the UN, They are men when it comes to talking, but babies when they threaten, Ofcourse to America.

"Josef Stalin was also a man of the people, killed millions of 'em."
True, but name me a mulim leader that killed more a than a million civilians.
"Erm, I think you will find he is still alive and well, has laid down his arms and the Americans are no nearer leaving. But that is beside the point of course. I don't really care who "wins" in that situation."
Yup he is alive, the U.S are leaving, his followers layed down their arms for al sistani, I wouldnt think that you would care about anything.

Quote:A million, half a million, a quarter million, a hundred thousand, tens of thousands, a thousand, a hundred, fifty, a dozen, how many dead people does it take before you say "Oooh, I don't know if I agree with that muslim ?" And being a muslim or non muslim is not the issue, man's inhumanity to man is not predicated on their religion.
yes, humanity is the issue, and if you see the numbers of Iraqi died in the course of US invasion.... well..let the number speak for itself....
and one more thing, Ministry of Oil and Ministry of Foreign Affair were handed too US.... in case you don't know that....
