Because every now and then a news story will hit the presses about it happening. It's total fodder for non-muslims. They hear these things too and attack Islam. "Look how demonic, how cruel Sharia is!" Brother you misunderstood my post. I was not criticizing Islam or those who implement Islamic laws. My issue is with those who implement non-islamic laws and call it shari'ah, and then Islam gets to take the blame.
