OK.

Muslim law is only partly based on the Qu'ran.

Please prove your point.

Contemporary religious leaders have their influence in both religion.

I contend that Christianities leader are much more flexible because of the fact that there is very limited amounts of god's word compared to Judaism and Islam.

On the other hand, Islamic leaders are doing nothing more than preaching original Quranic based Islam when referring to Jihad, Sha'aria, Dhimmitude, infidels and dawa.

And I included the paranthesis (and less) exactly because most laws never have been followed.

Which was my point. Can you say the same about Islamic Sheiks and Imams?

And as for the pope's word, well, by papal decree, the Pope is infallible. The question about the divinity of the pope's word is open for speculation.

However, Christian law is no longer practised (possible exception: the Vatican State), while Sharia is. That is the major problem. Don't get me wrong, parts of Sharia are sensible and just, and some parts are in conflict with western values, but still acceptable, but some parts are neither sensible, nor just, nor acceptable.

OK.
