Not at all snarky. Billionaires indeed only care about money. Our money is imbued with any number of occult symbolism, mean the worship of money translates into worship of the occult. See my latest reply in the indoctrination tread. Trump similarly worships mammon, which is why it's surprising you're not totally skeptical of him, especially with his support of Israel.

It's a huge stretch to call self imposed rules "laws" since they cannot be enforced. Who in the US is issuing fatwas? Don't conflate Sharia with Sharia law. Do we have Christian law since Christians also have the 10 Commandments?

Muslims have far more in common with the right wing extremist Christians than with the left. The idea that the enemy of your enemy is your friend really doesn't work with Muslims.

To believers, it is law. In any society which is not theocratic, "spiritual law" describes rules consensually binding the in-group.
So do they jail and punish their members based on this law? Do they have courts that interpret these laws and issue fines and sentences to offenders?
Law, in the "legal sense" is not the same as rules and rituals in the religious sense.
Still waiting for you to point out the legal ramifications for violating Sharia law in the US.

What's hilarious is watching you tap dance around this assertion you made and refuse to address the implications were it true.
Yeah, you're such an expert on what Muslims are.

Your question alone makes it obvious that there are multiple definitions. If you find one fits what I said, use it.

Unless you can show me that followers of Sharia law in the US can impose punishments otherwise illegal in the US, you're simply wrong. Muslims in the US may believe Sharia should be practiced, but they cannot impose these punishments on others legally.
You want to exclude that part though and pretend their beliefs and commandments constitute "law". It doesn't do that any more than the Bible's commandments constitute law.

the minority rides roughshod over the supermajority:
We are told that America is divided and polarized as never before. Yet when it comes to many important areas of policy, that simply isn’t true.
About 75 percent of Americans favor higher taxes (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/04/democrats-taxes-economy-policy-2020-1144874) for the ultrawealthy. The idea of a federal law that would guarantee paid maternity leave (https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2015/02/08/majority-support-requiring-paid-leave)attracts 67 percent support. Eighty-three percent favor strong net neutrality rules (https://thehill.com/policy/technology/364528-poll-83-percent-of-voters-support-keeping-fccs-net-neutrality-rules) for broadband, and more than 60 percent want stronger privacy laws (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/03/27/americans-complicated-feelings-about-social-media-in-an-era-of-privacy-concerns/). Seventy-one percent think we should be able to buy drugs (https://www.kff.org/health-costs/press-release/poll-majorities-of-democrats-republicans-and-independents-support-actions-to-lower-drug-costs-including-allowing-americans-to-buy-drugs-from-canada/) imported from Canada, and 92 percent want Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices. The list goes on.
The defining political fact of our time is not polarization. It’s the inability of even large bipartisan majorities to get what they want on issues like these. Call it the oppression of the supermajority. Ignoring what most of the country wants — as much as demagogy and political divisiveness — is what is making the public so angry.

Entire categories of public policy options are effectively off-limits because of the combined influence of industry groups and donor interests.
It is not a concession to populism, but rather a respect for democracy, to suggest that two-thirds of the population should usually get what they ask for."

Ever heard of the "Establishment clause"?
By your usage of the word "law", I can say any form of law exists if it's practiced by anyone. But we know it's not really a law if it doesn't apply to others.
the establishment clause places limitations on congress and congress alone.
you cant apply it to religious institutions in the same manner you cant apply it to private businesses

The fact that Islamic law is a legal system and this "Sharia law in the US" isn't. That's all I needed to know. You want to redefine "law" to mean "code of conduct" but there are almost endless codes of conduct including Judaic ones that aren't laws.

if by "laws" you are only referring to state/government enacted laws that all people in their jurisdiction are bound to, then no those arent laws in that context, obviously.
as a lawyer, i can only practice based on laws that are codified by the state (i dont regularly practice federal law). thats the purpose of the legal profession in the US. when i was admitted to the CA state bar, i became licensed to practice in all california state courts. so that would obviously exclude laws of religion, which do not have the same reach as laws passed by legislatures

It does more than tell them what they should do. It tells others what they should do when followers don't obey. Stop watering the shit down to make it palatable, Philo. Since they cannot dish out the prescribed punishments, the law is moot ergo non-existent. Otherwise you can say any group of two or more people who adhere to a code have a law and that law is in effect.

i'm not making it palatable. i personally disagree with the content of sharia and along with everybody on this board, never want the US or any state therein to recognize, codify, or enforce it. this type of religious mumbo jumbo is backwards thinking stuff and holds us back as a species, and thats not limited to the muslim faith.
you posted a definition of law and now dont like that definition of law.
sharia isn't now nor has it even been a law of the US or any state therein. that doesnt mean sharia isn't practiced here by willing participants. its not an all or nothing endeavor. just because they aren't stoning gays to death on the streets of minneapolis doesnt mean they aren't practicing it.

The definition clearly states that the law may impose penalties for violation. Having a code doesn't give you any legal right to impose penalties. It certainly doesn't give Sharia law believers the right to impose penalties that Sharia law prescribes ergo they cannot practice that law. Law that cannot be practiced isn't in effect.

yeah, you're taking it as an all or nothing. either they can stone gays in the street or its not sharia. they can observe their laws however they want. the community/house of worship dictates it
"Is it true that Sharia does prescribe harsh punishment for acts such as adultery?"
"I want to caution against reducing Sharia to just one or two legal principles and picking out certain punishments as being characteristic of Sharia. It is much more fruitful to start with Sharia’s fundamental objectives."
This kind of misdirection and sidestepping questions like this is part and parcel of the Muslim religion and apologists for Sharia law. It doesn't fucking matter how fruitful they make your life, if they kill you for fucking your neighbor then that's a non starter. They always shy away from addressing the elephant in the room.

Then it's not a law.

its observed in the manner the community and its members see fit. its not a state or federal law that binds any unwilling participant
It says nothing about "it's members see fit".
It says "the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members".
You are using the term "community" here to mean any group of people with common beliefs. Since the statement also uses "country" then the term "community" would most likely mean a city, state or jurisdiction.
If people can do whatever they want, then it's not Sharia, unless you also think they can call it whatever they want. The point of a "law" is that you are not allowed to do whatever you want, because by law you have to walk a certain path (Sharia).

I already said why - "Since the statement also uses 'country'"...
Did you just ignore that?
So unless you want to consider "country" to mean anywhere but the city, then you need to accept that the definition is using a geographical land mass occupied by people and "community" means subsections of that country. So federal laws or local laws, but religious laws are merely codes and seemingly very malleable since you think people can do whatever they want.
That's narrative.

Neither does any individual since Americans are protected from such by law.
Since it's not part of the US code or any state code, it's not law. It's just a code of conduct, like the Boy Scout honor pledge.In principle, not so different.
Religious code being the civil law and neighborhood Promise Keepers being the local constabulary might not be the best idea, but societies choose for themselves.
If you think 1.2 percent of the US population is theatening to make Sharia the civil code in the US, you're cracked.
