The name Mohammad is given to sons to show respect. Why is t

Like its almost like you cant read.

We all just explained to you that he IS honored by not having his name blasphemed.

But that he is also honored by having kids named after him in the Spanish speaking world.

I can read that you think that to give the name Jesus is both blasphemy and an honor yet traditionally
a name is given out of respect in the West.

Just because Anglos don't do it doesn't mean Christians don't do it.

True, but it does say that the many do not as many compared to the many Muslims using the name of Mohammad.

It is the same with theistic law. Many Muslims promote and advocate for Sharia law while almost no Christian wants to live by Yahweh's laws.

That seems like a bit of an exaggeration, while most Christians don't want to live by a strict and literal interpretation of biblical law, that doesn't mean that many Christian (especially conservative Christians in the US and the middle east) don't wish to live by some form of biblical-based law.

Further, when one discusses Sharia law, it's not at though there's a consistent interpretation of what exactly that means. Daesh and Saudi Arabia and Iran all have significant differences in their legal codes, and that's ignoring Muslim majority states that are less theocratic in nature (they're all theocratic by the definition levelled at American Christian conservatives when pushing back against 'biblical morality' as a basis for law).

Further, some sympathy to Sharia may come from viewing it as 'theirs' and more liberal/secular/rights based approaches to law appear to be 'outsiders' since often it was either Western backed groups or Soviet backed groups pushing for more "modern", secular legal codes.

Even when Christianity had political power they gave power to Cesar to make laws for them.

What do you have that shows Christians advocating for biblical law to be the law of the land, anywhere.

I will grant that some cults like Mormons would like the right to have as many wives as they can afford.



Daesh is not a country. That aside. All belief systems/religions have factions that see things differently even from reading the same words.

Do you think secular forces should be pushing back against 'biblical morality' as a basis for law.

As they should because Islam is basically a slave owning ideology while slavery is outlawed world wide.

Do you agree that Islam and Sharia needs a lot of reform before it can be palatable to Western stomachs?

Have I ever suggested anything to suggest otherwise?

Sharia Law just doesn't apply to the present day. It might apply to people living in the 7th-8th century in the Arabian area.

similar to how the Biblical laws don't apply today.

No.

I just wanted confirmation buddy so that all lurkers can see our exact position.
