Here are the 10 laws/principles of Sharia that are incompatible with Western laws and democracy, in English:
* Apostasy and Capital Punishment: Leaving Islam is punishable by death in traditional Islamic law, violating the freedom of religion and conscience guaranteed in the West.
* Punitive Blasphemy: Severe punishment (often death) for criticizing Islam or Prophet Muhammad is incompatible with freedom of speech and the press.
* Legal Gender Inequality: In matters of inheritance, court testimony, and family law (such as divorce), a woman's rights or testimony carry half the weight of a man's.
* Permissibility of Male Polygamy: Allowing men to have up to four wives violates the Western principle of monogamous marriage and gender equality.
* Hudud Corporal Punishments: Punishments such as amputation of limbs for theft, flogging, and stoning for adultery violate Western bans on cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.
* Dhimmi Status (Subordination of Non-Muslims): Under strict Sharia, religious minorities do not hold the same civil, political, or legal rights as the Muslim majority.
* Criminalization of Homosexuality: Same-sex relations are criminalized and severely punished (up to capital punishment), violating laws against discrimination and equal rights.
* Union of Religion and State (Theocracy): Sharia rejects secularism (the separation of religion and state), enforcing religious scripture as civil and criminal law.
* Male Guardianship and Restrictions on Women: Laws requiring a male guardian's permission for women to travel, work, or marry violate women's personal autonomy and civil rights.
* Supremacy of Divine Law over Popular Sovereignty: In Islamic jurisprudence, revealed divine law supersedes the will of the people or parliament, contradicting the Western democratic principle that political power derives from the people.
