You can try NOT killing people, and insist Imams just use superior rhetorical methods to educate and convince others, getting the word out, and for police forces to use restraint in applying the law, and for anything resembling Jihad to be only allowable by the community with limited aims, those of seeking defence against unjustified excursions, always seeking political remedies when possible, both before and during combat, putting emphasis on the humane treatment of captives, and lessening the need for capital punishment to near no occurrences.
Shari’a says to do a lot of wacky things, but Muslims today aren’t the brutal Arab tribes of Muhammad’s past, you can effect better government when education allows for it, and obvious examples elsewhere exist. It is said in the Koran you have the government you deserve, does it not? If Muslims insist on stupid, barbaric tyranny, they shall have only that. If they want enlightened approach to dealing with people who threaten society, using their God given power of reason, they too can choose that. I don’t think God’s self esteem is so low he needs some ignorant, uneducated fool to strap on a suicide vest to insist on the validity of a few lines of the Koran. That isn’t the mindset of the god of Ruth, who allowed us to think through problems and apply ourselves to better outcomes through reasoning. She used her brain, and the results were good, good enough to be included in the Bible, a Bible Muslims are supposed to have a level of respect for.
You may not be in a position to judge God, but as philosophers, we are damn well in a position to judge other men, including the reasoning of zealots and their lack of foresight and discernment in approaching applied knowledge through violence. Far too many idiots are running around doing things Satan would blush at, having the nerve to blame it on God of all people, able to quote a verse in support of mutilation and death. God gave us the power to reason, better ourselves, learn from our mistakes. Acting the fool, signing off by saying only God knows it a good way to avoid responsibility. We are men, and can judge the actions of other men. Statecraft isn’t a new concept in philosophy, nor is enlightened understandings to jurisprudence. Shari’a itself isn’t the koran, depends on logic, and all too often can come off as illogical and foul in application. Do not blame god for acting on logical suppositions that defy reasoning, the malice and blame for the violent cruel acts fall on those idiots who don’t think the situation through and ask themselves if their is a better way. There almost always is, Muslims are urbanized and educated now, not the camel herders they once were, always forced to absurd punishments. Far better than to cut off someone’s hand for stealing an apple is for society to question why a apple has to be stolen in the first place, and resolve that. The God of Jesus, that was his enlightened approach, to forgive and give remedy. Don’t make a liar and fool out of God and his past examples just because you want to be mentally lazy and say you can’t guess what Allah thinks, if he is the Christian and Jewish god, he left a pretty good blueprint for enlightened thinking that a lot of Muslims choose to overlook out of intellectual laziness. You may claim the books of the Christians and Jews are corrupted, but you don’t reject a good system that’s more humane and more advanced in concept for one synthetically derived from the precedents of urisprudence that are incredibly cruel, and act like you don’t know which is better. The more humane, enlightened approach is generally better. Why? Cause you have choice, your making it up for the most part in accepting scholar A over B over C, over Islamic examples from this or that caliphate vs Christian or Jewish examples… same God, if as Muslims insist, choose the wisest of choices. If koran says “do this” look at context… context isnt often going to be the same criminally then as now… society has changed, hopefully for the better. A wiser, more humane outlook is a necessity. I pray god doesn’t want a legion of ignorant, violent dirty minded fools but wise, good hearted men who loved men as they loved God, and want the best for everyone, capable of understanding and discernment, and most of all forgiveness, of love and not hatred, of good and not evil.
