I totally agree that in most countries currently enacting Sharia law, there are huge injustices, especially for women. I'm just not sure that there has to be. A lot of the injustice in judicial systems (the US is a good example) comes from cultural factors, rather than the letter or spirit of the law, and I'm willing to be that this is what comes into play in many countries under Sharia law.
I'm just curious and open to the idea of allowing Sharia law to come into "democratic" systems of government. I don't know that it would actually be just in its institutionalization, but I'd like to think that it's possible.
