The common law has heaps more procedural safeguards built into it to ensure a fair trial and justice then sharia. Not to mention unlike sharia law it is able to evolve and improve over time.
why are you twisting my words? are you some sort of western civilization gate keeper? everything is up for criticism.
I believe that presumption of innocence is a critical part of any fair judicial system, along with trial by jury. This is not present in Sharia law (and presumption of innocence not in European states with Inquisitorial system either fyi).
Yo, just curious, what's with your name? Any background/reason for it?
Sorry we can't all be as brilliant as you.

Wise move.
We should put some faith in the US to protect us. The threat of America will hopefully deter others from unleashing WMDs
You misunderstand messianic Shi'ite Islam. The Armageddon is welcomed by them.
Haha, I'm far from understanding messianic Shi'ite Islam. And although it may be welcomed by them, they can't all ignore the strong deterrence of their iminent deaths, should they unleash the first attack.
Who said all of them have to be suicidally religious? It's not a real democracy with proper accountability and overlapping checks and balances, so it doesn't matter whether the vast number of sane and rational Iranians desire peace or the coming of the Mahdi. The government can do whatever the hell it wants and all it takes is a conspiracy of only a few (or even just one) senior government members to launch ze missiles. Considering all of the government members are hand-picked and elevated for their zealous religious tendencies, this scenario becomes statistically that much higher.
So you don't think there's any use in America having WMDs?
