What questions would they be exactly?
It's still not offensive to me. The sensible thing to do is keep your belief to yourself when you know it is going to illicit such a response.
You take an extremist view and apply it to everyone in a given Faith. When you uncover the mass graves of Muslim children slaughtered by Christian Extremeist's it gives you a somewhat different view on extremism in general.
Questions? Where did I mention questions?
Well it definately matters to me me how many people are abused and even killed by Islam under Sharia Law for not adhering to its stupid medievfal beliefs and requirements.
What would you like me respond to then, if you have no questions.
You don't need a question to respond to a reply. Try looking at the quoted responses you have. They seem answerable.
So all forms of state Islam conform to the Saudi model do they?
I have responded to anything worth responding to. Rhetorical or statements of belief that I do not feel either need a response or will change a specific mindset included.

If any of those things are legal, then you arent in a Sharia state.
Yup, didnt you know that?

Im really not sure of any Sharia state where it is:
- legal to be gay
- legal to have sex outside marriage
- legal to preach any religion other than Islam to Muslims
- legal for a Muslim to leave Islam or convert to any other religion
The penalty may not be death in all of the countries, but thats only thanks to pressure / outrage from the UN / EU.
If any of those things are legal, then you arent in a Sharia state.
No, Islamism is a political ideology based on Islam. That is not the same at all.
Still waiting for your comeback on this.
Islamism turns the bits and pieces within Islam that deal with politics, economics, and military affairs into a sustained and systematic program. They are both one and the same.
Not all Muslim states practice sharia. I think you're missing the point here. I don't advocate sharia, neither do a lot of Muslims.
Which is my point, extreme and specific interpretation attributed to an entire religion be it Islam or any other gives a false picture. Many States in that list are Islamic yet Homosexuality is legal. In fact Turkey, an Islamic country have had legalised homosexuality a lot longer than most Western Democracies.
Not all Muslims advocate Islamism or practice it
I think you will find about 99% of them do, because it's their RELIGION.
No, but pretty much every muslim state has a poor record when it comes to discrimination. Sharia makes it worse, it isn't however the entire problem. The ideology at it's heart is discriminatory.
Homosexuality may well be legal, but legality is only half the issue. Even Turkey has massive discrimination against homosexuals.
The same can be said for other ideologies both religious and political. It is not exclusive to Islam.
As do most, if not all Western Democracies including our own. Again it is not exclusive to Islam.
