And since honest-to-goodness real live Muslim actually do believe that If the Shariah is enforced in a way to appear brutal to the present-day conscience, then to the present-day conscience judges it to be brutal. As I said, it is only when some try to make one time and places SOCIAL laws BE another time and place's social laws that problems arise.
My present-day conscience considers maiming to be brutal - and to fall under the aegis of a criminal punishment NOT appropriate to this time and place. If the Shariah were replaced by the Baha`i form of jurisprudence, I would not consider it inappropriate to this time and place.
I simply don't know how to make it plainer.
