The Sharia should be opposed for its imposition of theocracy over democracy, its abuse of human rights, its institutionalized discrimination, its denial of human dignity and individual autonomy, its punishment of alternative lifestyle choices, and for the severity of its punishments.

In the west, in countries that have a sizable Muslim population, there have been calls for the Sharia to be adopted for the Muslim community. These calls should be vigorously opposed; the Sharia conflicts with many basic human values, such as equality before the law, that punishments should be commensurate with the crime, and that the law must be based on the will of the people. The Sharia as it developed in the first few centuries of Islam incorporated many pre-Islamic Middle-Eastern misogynist and tribal customs and traditions.

The Sharia was developed not only from the Holy Quran but incorporates legal principles from other sects. We may ask how a law whose elements were first laid down over 1,000 years ago can possibly be relevant in the 21st century. The Sharia reflects the social and economic conditions at the time of the Abbasids and has become further and further out of touch with later social, economic, technological, cultural and moral developments. The principles of the Sharia are inimical to moral progress, humanity and civilized values.

First of all, these barbaric Somalis have nothing to do with Islam trust me, my families were their victim. As the Somali says even the She-goat has a beard, but that does not mean they are Muslim. Islam is defined by the behavior of the individual. These men can not in good conscience call themselves Muslim. We don't think they are muslin; they are the Satan's spawn. To exhume the graves of our Italian friends were an act that is despicable. Somalis are outrage about his, Hundreds of Somalis demonstrated on the streets of Mogadishu condemning this act, the president and his cabinest condemned these ignoble creatures and their act. The reason they doing this is make sure Italians and Somalis became enemies, so their bearded beasts can run the country with their guns, drugs and kangaroo courts. People like them and Osama bin ladan should be ashame of themselves to even call themselves believer, believes are those who believe in god, Christians, Muslims and Jews, they are the believers. Those who obey the 10 commandments, and Who leave god's creature in peace. Trust me, what these people are not muslim or believers, if they believe anything they must believer the prince of darkness which they mimic.

As a somali I am sending my heartfelt apologies to the Italian people whose families were buried in those graves, for what my countrymen have done.
