<DIV>> Sorry, this doesn't ring true. Sharia isn't just "mentioned"
here, but framed in </DIV>
<DIV>> a specific way. The kind of sharia we are presented with is far
from the kind </DIV>
<DIV>> which has gone into effect in parts of the UK. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It does seem more like that which has recently gone into effect in
Timbuktoo.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> Rather than that form, restricted </DIV>
<DIV>> to certain issues of family law and civil disputes over things like
inheritance, </DIV>
<DIV>> we are presented with sharia-as-bogeyman, where theft results in
severed limbs, </DIV>
<DIV>> and (probably) blasphemy of the prophet or adultery lead to death by
stoning. </DIV>
<DIV>> Sharia law is about much more than violent punishment, but it's not
usually </DIV>
<DIV>> presented with nuance in the West, including in this book. At
least, the part</DIV>
<DIV>> I've read thus far.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Christian fundamentalism is not usually presented with nuance either.
