(8,821 posts)33. Every Muslim country in the World uses Sharia law . . .
Every Muslim country in the World uses Sharia law as a starting point for it's legal code. That includes U.S. allies like Egypt, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, Morocco, Turkey, Tunisia, Indonesia, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. They all allow women some of the rights you accuse them of not providing. Even the most conservative, Saudi Arabia, has recently allowed women the vote (something we only got around to doing in 1920). In fact, the only country to practice the kind of Shria law you are so afraid of was Afghanistan, when it was under Taliban control before 2001.
