I'm reading about Islamic Law and the history of persecutian of Non- Muslims now and it's a bit troubling to say the least in certain parts.

yeah, fair enough. I just object to the insinuation, based on maybe 2 or 3 countries in the whole muslim world. And BTW, most muslim countries, do not have muslim law (sharia). They have a regular constitution, that has nothing to do with the religion. I think these are the countires that practice it!

Iran

Pakistan

Saudi Arabi

Nigeria

Sudan

Iraq (prior to 2003)

Egypt

And again, most muslim I know, dont agree with Islam as a law, And some of its cruel punishments.
