It's probably essential to any formation of an opinion on Sharia law to know that, despite its name, it's not a legal system.

I don't feel better, and I disagree. I think the tribunal type things are questionable, but essentially all Muslims live under sharia law (including "modern" ones) and I've met many beautiful, strong, wonderful people who count themselves as Muslims and are as liberal as the average secular non-Muslim Canadian (and many who are more-so).
Just as most Christians don't take the backwards rules in the Old Testament to be binding, most western Muslims don't take the backwards rules of Sharia to be binding. Living your life under Sharia is living the good life, being virtuous and loving each other. Banning Sharia courts might be problematic, but banning Sharia goes against freedom of religion.
Honest question: how much do you know about the religion you hate? About Sharia? You constantly get major details wrong, show a total lack of understanding, and post pretty hateful stuff... but have you actually taken the time to learn about it? Do you talk to Muslim friends and ask them questions?
As someone who isn't religious and who's way of life isn't really hugely endorsed by any religion, I've always been happy to find that the majority of people from any religion I've encountered have been wonderful, kind, and open people (even if we disagree). How do you square your friends and brothers in your organisation going out and killing people because their Muslim? Or because they defend Muslims?
