Sharia is meant as a tool that helps man to keep up the faith, as revealed and explained in the Qu'ran, in the correct manner. Where Chrstian theology focusses on believing in the right thing (the object of believing), Islam focusses on the right manner of believing (the act of believing itself). Islam is highly ignorrant to the many changes and the fact that there has been several very different versions of the Quran, highly influenced not by allah, put political opportunism, instead it claims that there always has been one version only, and that it has been like that from the very beginning; thus opportunism is a major strategy of actingg of Islam, especially when dealing with infidel factions. It bypasses most of the historical facts we know about it's emergence. Since Islam says there is only one Quran and that Quran is the reveleation of God'S will, it is hostile to the western idea of what theology is: where in the west a tradition developed that included the critical examination of the basis if faith, and sometimes readjusting both the focus of faith, and the correct way how to keep up that faith, Islam got deathlocked in a "theology" that in form of circular argument is less depending on "reason", and more on rite and cult and immitating repitition: it allows theological debates on Islam and Quaran only to take place in a way and according to rules that make sure that in the end the validity of the quran as it is is guaranteed. Simplified: western tradition learned to ask: "Could this belief be true? What may be wrong?" Muslims ask: "Why is it that Quran is true?", excluding that way all outcomes that indicate that it may not be right at all. Different conclusions are ruled out from the beginning. Type XXIII's reference to the scholar's consensus is misleading, because these scholar's consensus has been streamlined since long and is formed by a canon of uniformed opinions that do not allow different views. Of course, during history there has been people trying to establish other thelogical traditions, and others forms of legislative interpretations. The huge majority of such biographies ended tragic (death, or prison). Islam does not tolerate other ways than it's own.
