Hitler was obviously a dictator. And he was Christian. And I think that he persecuted the Jews, there's no doubt about that. And he did that for nationalistic reasons, which would be prohibited in Islam.

The problem that we have is some of the more vocal countries, which parade themselves as Islamic countries, are, in fact, brutal dictatorial regimes. We don't accept them as being Sharia at all, because, what they tend to do, is they tend to just implement several aspects of the penal code and one or two morsels of the social system, but the rest of the system, like providing the basic needs and the social aspects of society and an education system, is completely ousted.

Sharia is derived from Arabic, and it means an "oasis." In the desert, man needs the oasis to survive. Sharia is not like any other religion or law, because Sharia is an entire system of life.

Whoever insults the message of Mohammed is going to be subject to capital punishment.

What engenders hatred towards the Sharia? When people find their basic needs are not being met, then people just see it as unfair.

The sensibilities and the emotions of Muslims must be taken into consideration in the context in which we live today.

All law is from God, not from man. So, all laws are derived from the divine text, or the Koran.
