I was trying to say that. Sharia law in today's world is not very friendly to women. It's PRACTICE is the problem.

In the beginning of Sharia Law, back in the Dark Ages, the rules that were in place for women in the "Christian" world were the backward, "we own them" sort of laws.

Did you know that Sharia law forbids forcing a woman into marriage? THAT'S overlooked much of the time in practice.

Sharia Law also states that women are supposed to have their own property set aside by husband or father, to do with as they wish. Again, that's mainly ignored in most of the "Sharia Law" countries.

As I said, it's the way it's practiced that is the problem. When these laws were first used, European women were still treated as cattle.

But what you state is correct. Which is why I don't wish to live under any rule that is religious rule, be it Muslim, Jewish, or Christian.
