7. AND Iesus said unto them, Behold a new law I give unto you, which is not new but old. Even as Moses gave the Ten Commandments to Israel after the flesh, so also I give unto you the Twelve for the Kingdom of Israel after the Spirit.
8. For who are the Israel of God ? Even they of every nation and tribe who work righteousness, love mercy and keep my commandments, these are the true Israel of God. And standing upon his feet, Jesus spake, saying:
9. Hear O Israel, JOVA, thy God is One; many are My seers, and My prophets. In Me all live and move, and have subsistence.
10. Ye shall not take away the life of any creature for your pleasure, nor for your profit. nor yet torment it.
11. Ye shall not steal the goods of any, nor gather lands and riches to yourselves, beyond your need or use.
12. Ye shall not eat the flesh, nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature, nor yet any thing which bringeth disorder to your health or senses.
13. Ye shall not make impure marriages, where love and health are not, nor yet corrupt yourselves, or any creature made pure by the Holy.
14. Ye shall not bear false witness against any, nor wilfully deceive any by a lie to hurt them.
15. Ye shall not do unto others, as ye would not that others should do unto you.
16. Ye shall worship One Eternal, the Father-Mother in Heaven, of Whom are all things, and reverence the holy Name.
17. Ye shall revere your fathers and your mothers on earth, whose care is for you, and all the Teachers of Righteousness.
18. Ye shall cherish and protect the weak, and those who are oppressed, and all creatures that suffer wrong.
19. Ye shall work with your hands the things that are good and seemly; so shalt ye eat the fruits Of the earth, and live long in the land.
20. Ye shall purify yourselves daily and rest the Seventh Day from labour, keeping holy the Sabbaths and the Festival of your God.
21. Ye shall do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you.
22. And when the disciples heard these words, they smote upon their breasts, saying: Wherein we have offended. O God forgive us: and may thy wisdom, love and truth within us incline our hearts to love and keen this Holy Law.
23. And Jesus said unto them, My yoke is equal and my burden light, if ye will to bear it, to you it will be easy. Lay no other burden on those that enter into the kingdom, but only these necessary things.
24. This is the new Law unto the Israel of God, and the Law is within, for it is the Law of Love, and it is not new but old. Take heed that ye add nothing to this law, neither take anything from it. Verily I say unto you, they who believe and obey this law shall be saved, and they who know and obey it not, shall be lost.

I personally do not believe that a person should be physically punished for the consumption of alcohol or other intoxicants, if no harm has come to other individuals as a result of it. That is not just; it is simply barbaric, and Muslim apologists here are unlikely to be able to provide an argument that will convince me otherwise. Law can exist for the sake of genuine social benefit, yes; but it more frequently exists for the sake of evil geriatrics, who crave control of the rest of a society, for control's own sake.
is the only Law which I recognise as legitimate
It is always a choice. Thats why Islam adds so much importance to actions, and IF you want to live a proper life, a righteous life, one that is full of enlightenment and good will for all, that flows over to the other side and guarantees a happily ever after, you would watch every action you take. There is no one to die for you or save your soul, you do your own saving IF you're actually interested in it that is.
But how does one know that they are not interpreting things based on their own ego, instead of what is INTENDED? There are ways to do that, but thats a whole different story and I don't want to deviate too much from the subject.
Edit: If every thief in the land had their hand cut off, and by thief I do mean people who don't do it out of hunger or need but out of pure greed, do you think they'd have the guts to do it again? besides, the fear of having been marred for the rest of your life as a thief, should be enough to stop you from thieving in the first place. But if we have a way to know for sure that this person WAS a thief, thru genetic testing, having a file in the government etc, then cutting the hand off is unnecessary, since the purpose isn't just to punish the person, its to warn society and deter them from doing it in the first place.

Your post is probably one of the nastiest I have seen on here - ever.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Thats because we have been slowly but surely turned into a greed driven society overflowing with people posessed by materialistic illusions and so we have mostly lost our ability to express empathy, compassion and love towards eachother...

No one is forcing you to become Muslim are they? Not recognizing my religious law is fine, no one is forcing you.
it is simply a choice of what set of laws and punishments a particular society is choosing to be governed by, this was our choice. No one is forcing you to have our values, yet you wish to force us (under penalty of death if we refuse) to have your values. Do you not find this strange?
I work with a hard core muslim man whos around 50 years old and he tells people very plainly and bluntly that the main goal of islam is to make the entire worlds human population muslim and eliminate all those who will not bow down to allah and that someday it will be that way...

I'm curious. Even assuming, hypothetically speaking, that Muslims were exclusively monsters; (which of course they are not, in reality) how does it improve the situation by you being similarly monstrous (even if only rhetorically) yourself?

I'm assuming this has'nt happened to you,but if you had two teenage daughters dragged away by muslim men and then raped,tortured and buried alive,you would probably be singing a different tune and you would most likely be screaming for vengeance against them...
