-you don't know what sharia law is
-the quran is only one source used in sharia law
-that's not the number of wives you can have according to the Quran
-around what regions exactly

I read that Saudi Arabia practices it in court.

Elements of sharia are present, to varying extents, in the criminal justice system of many Muslim-majority countries. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Brunei, Qatar, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan and Mauritania apply the code predominantly or entirely while it applies in some parts of Indonesia too. It's just that Saudi seems to be TRYING to let women do more stuff. They can drive now. Not without a man with them, but hey, progress. Something is better than nothing.

well the way you said it seemed like you meant all Muslim countries. Saudi Arabia is 1 country. It is the most right wing extremist government in any Muslim country, and it is home to less than 1.5% of the world's Muslim population

[redbreegull]

what's the muslim population of your country bud

[MarquisInSpades]

Lemme check real quickly.

[redbreegull]

yeah you do that

[MarquisInSpades]

According to the 2011 census, around 172 million people are Muslims. That's ~14.2% of the population.

[MarquisInSpades]

India's total population is 1.3 billion, lol.

[buzzard]

Not sure where we'd be without your input.

[Elphenor]

fuzzy would be disappointed to find that even (most) rural Texans think Alex Jones is a fucking quack as they have enough sense to know when someone's selling them a bridge

they're also deeply religious so how does that fit in with his view that religion is for suckers

[redbreegull]

it's interesting that someone living in India was unaware that there are far more Muslims in South and Southeast Asia than in the Middle East, and would refer to Muslims using Western stereotypes. In fact, South Asia and the Pacific island states house almost half of the world Muslim population, while the Middle East accounts for about 22%

[MarquisInSpades]

I am aware of that.

"Western stereotypes"?

The Readi Mask is an easy to use, multi-purpose one-piece particle mask with eye protection. Not only does it provide protection against fallout radiation particles but it can also be important protection in the event of a martial law/riot situations in which pepper spray and other air borne contaminants are used by New World Order agents.

[MarquisInSpades]

I want one of those.

[buzzard]

Yes, I've heard that Ohio can be smoggy at the best of times.

[MarquisInSpades]

This again? Goddammit.

[MarquisInSpades]

I was talking about the regions where there's a lot of conflict and shit.

[MarquisInSpades]

That doesn't even come close to proving your point. :/

Oh I must have misunderstood. So you probably are totally cool with Islam in general then.

[MarquisInSpades]

I've nothing against Muslim people, sure.
But, yeah, I don't like Islamic ideologies.

[MarquisInSpades]

I don't even like Christian ideologies, as a matter of fact. I'm not for religion in general. Why is everyone just pointing out Islam?

[MarquisInSpades]

Just because people who follow Islamic ideologies are a minority group?

[redbreegull]

You were the one who made the initial comment in a manner seemingly intended to contradict Buzzard's statement

[MarquisInSpades]

Okay, I seem to have been taken out of context. I didn't say that local Muslims, wherever he lives, aren't "rad". I was just replying to his statement about the conflicts.

[redbreegull]

what are relations like between Muslims and Hindus in Delhi

[MarquisInSpades]

oh, they're cool. like any other country, there WILL be a small majority of people against Islam, but as far as secularism is concerned, we're golden.

[MarquisInSpades]

issue like Triple Talaq and stuff are pretty controversial though. Hold on, I'll link you to something.
