Jews can't criticise Sharia Law but  [some] Jews do even to this day. For example, in Madina, 1400 years ago, they did not want to accept Sharia Law but Muslims were happy for them to keep the Jewish law and be judged by their own Jewish law. The result has been well documented ever since.

In several cases, Qur'anic laws are much relaxed laws than the Jewish laws.

There is a lot that is common between Jews and Muslims. For example, Kosher and Halal.

Recently when one European country tried to ban Halal meat, Jews were the only other group that got together with Muslims to oppose the new law.

David Yerushalmi, author of a model law banning sharia, argues that sharia differs from halacha because of its different “threat matrix.” Sharia, he tells us, requires faithful Muslims to impose Islamic law on the world “violently,” and its adherents should be charged with sedition against the United States. Rabbi Jon Hausman, a self-styled “warrior rabbi” from Massachusetts, tells us that in Judaism, unlike Islam, the law of the state is the law (in Aramaic, dina d’malchuta dina) so you don’t have to worry about such religious “imperialism.”

>>>>>>>>>>> I think Jews can critic Islam when it is done sincerely and with some knowledge of the subject. Many of do just that. Many Jews also defend Muslims and explain good points of Sharia.

However our "David Yereushalmi" is a known hate monger and distort teachings of Islam.

Islam does NOT "Require" Muslims to establish Sharia "Violently". This is 100% untrue. As per scriptures, we can ONLY speak about Islam and people have the right to accept it or reject it. Violanece is prohobited.

Good old "Dave" works with people who are dedicated to distort message of Islam.

I do nor wish to see any Muslims or Jews like this. Hate speech is wrong. It is that simple!!

Actually Jews can criticize Sharia law, just as we can criticize Halacha. Neither are static systems. If either of you knew a damn thing about either one of these legal systems, you would know that they are continually updated based on evolving understandings and in reaction to new events, challenges and criticisms.

There go both Judaism and Islam as systems! Both Jews and Muslims should call themselves  Baha'is because Muhammad updated Judaism and Baha'u'llah updated Islam.

Judaism has been and continues to be self updating. the same is true of Islam.

 I suggest that you stick to Judaism rather than sticking your neck out about Islam.  

Islam is complete and already perfected (5:3). It does not require updating.

Ibn, How does Islam deal with new concepts such as human cloning, acquiring stem cells, etc? I'm curious as to where Islamic scholars turn to for interpretation of such matters.
