Far from it Tribesman. I cannot say that I have the same amount of knowledge on Islam as Skybird or someone else has, yet the articles I've read in order to write my latest essay clearly spoke of what Skybird has said. Mind you, they were written by Muslims themselves, not by some "crackpot" western who thinks he knows a thing or two about Islam. As Skybird has written in the first post of the essay topic, Shari'ah is necessary in order to comprehend Islam, as it is interwoven into the very fabric of the religion. The same thing is claimed by female Muslim academics in the west (so that you won't just say that I'm talking about hardcore Iranian scholars or the like), that Shari'ah is a part of their religion and that you cannot remove it. They argue, as Skybird has pointed out, that a different interpretation of the text must take place, not that the text itself would be removed.
Please, do not take this as an offence of any sort Tribesman, yet some sort of an academic standard is demanded in any discussion when presenting arguments for someone's case. You calling Skybird over and over again a person with Islamophobia, without offering a different interpretation based on fact, both in scripture and empirical research, is nothing short of an attack on Skybird's academic integrity, one that he has proven, at least to me, over and over again.
