German-Egyptian Scholar Hamed Abdel-Samad: Islam Was Born With The Seed Of Civil War And Has Failed To Come Up With A Plan For Coexistence

The Shari’a Is Dwindling, And What Is Left Of It Is The Hijab And Sex! 

German-Egyptian scholar Hamed Abdel-Samad said in an interview that was posted to the Brother Rachid TV channel on YouTube on November 17, 2022 that Islam has been “distorted” from the beginning and that countries that implement shari’a law such as Afghanistan, ISIS, Iran, and the Boko Haram have failed to produce ideal societies. He also said that the Gulf countries are abandoning shari’a law because it is incompatible with their economic interests, and he said that in the modern world, shari’a law has been reduced to the subjects of sexuality and hijabs because there is no longer a slave trade.

Islam Failed To Come Up With A Program For Coexistence Between Nations

Hamed Abdel-Samad:

“Islam was born distorted. I’m sorry but for some, this might be difficult to hear. Islam was born with the seed of civil wars in it.

“It put forward great slogans, but failed to come up with a program for coexistence between nations.

Implementing Shari’a Law Has Not Produced Ideal Societies; The Gulf States Once Championed Shari’a, But Now They Know It Does Not Serve Their Economic Interests

“Afghanistan implements shari’a law with all its punishments. ISIS also implemented the Islamic shari’a when it founded its state in Mosul. Boko Haram partially implements the Islamic shari’a law. Iran also implements the shari’a. What have these nations produced for us? Have they produced ideal societies? On the contrary, the Gulf states that came up with the idea of implementing the shari’a and the Islamic punishments are now shedding the shari’a, because they know that their economic interests do not go hand in hand with the life of the Middle Ages and the chopping off of limbs.”
