    That's like reading the Sermon on the Mount and then pointing at evangelical megachurches or the Crusades and saying "the wonders of Jesus huh". Silly man. Go read the Qur'an, no more no less, and find the "if you don't wear a veil you get lashed" line. I'll agree with you if you find them, go go.

    Ah, the no true Scotsman argument. Never mind that every Islamic country pulls the same bullshit to some extent or the other. Go join the tankies over there in the denial corner.

    No, you silly goose. If you say "hey, I'm X" but actually do Y, you're just being dishonest, with others and yourself, and that can be at the personal or the societal level. If you say you're a good husband but beat up your wife, you're not one, same if you're a follower of Jesus but are all about profit and power, and ofc same if you're a follower of Muhammed and go against everything the divine message put forth (including "to you your religion and to me mine", which is again in the Qur'an).

    You just lack the intellectual capacity or courage to make the distinction between a person who says A and does A and a person who says A but beats children. But what can I expect from someone who just tagged me to "prove me wrong" or whatever. Enjoy the attention I've provided you, and remember to be wise and kind. 👋

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudud

    Scriptural basis Hudud offenses with prescribed punishments are mentioned in the Quran. The punishments for these offenses are drawn from both the Quran and the Sunnah. The Quran does not define the offenses precisely: their definitions were elaborated in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence).

    Hududullah, or the "limits of God", is a phrase found several times in the Quran, but not as a label for a particular type of crime. The Quran warns Muslims of the sin of transgressing the limits, which should not even be approached (Quran 2:187). But nowhere does the phrase appear in the clear context of labeling certain crimes (see Quran, 2:229, 4:14, 58:4, 65:1), though 4:14 is followed by discussion of sexual impropriety.[22]
