Re: Religion of Peace?

Remember that the actions of the gunmen in Paris are perfectly legal in any country with Sharia Law.

Actually - no. Even there you have to have a fatwa and/or a religious court decision if you follow the book by the book.

Shariah does not allow you to go and shoot someone just because they do not believe or are blasphemous. However, it establishes an exact order in how you get an entitlement to shoot 'em. It is _NOT_ unique in that respect. Nearly any holy book contains similar verses and nearly any religion has had people killing "blasphemers" in the past. Christians, Sikhs, even buddhists - you name 'em - all have killed "blasphemers" for centuries.
