Of course an Imam doesnt have to follow all of these. |
Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan and Mauritania all follow the strict doctrine of Sharia. that's over 400 million people brainwashed into this "law"
There's also plenty more countries that have regional variations of this sick and twisted word of "god"

3. Not only does an Imam "not have to follow all of these rules," they're not even rules that need to be interpreted and followed verbatim at all. The problem is that some people still do, not that these words exist. Again, Christianity has done a pretty good job ignoring the ridiculous and poisonous instructions in the Bible, and Western Muslims are doing that very same thing more and more as they're introduced to modern liberal cultures, so that's a good thing.
I'm not sure what your solution to "holy books say bad things" is, because you're not banning them and the education that can actually be implemented by western cultures is already happening. Again, the modern interpretation of Sharia is one that is loving and peaceful, as rejecting corporal punishment and embracing equality is becoming increasingly common. I don't think there's any issue with someone who believes in equal rights and liberal values observing Ramadan, do you? Outside of the end game of eliminating all religion, what forward movement (that isn't already happening in the West) do you actually propose from a Western perspective?

Sharia law cannot and will not ever mix with western society, Islam needs a reformation away from this garbage or this segregation and violence will never end.
Anyone who wants to practice this trash needs to move back to the middle east.
