"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"

Witches are very small group, versus infidels, maybe teen to a few billions?
Christians denounced it long time ago. Last time a witch was killed was 300 years ago versus infidel beheaded yesterday. If we want to ignore genocide that is happening right now, we just compare it to something miniscule that happened sometime, anytime in history. We learned Obama's lesson well.

Go down to your local mosque. They aren't going to kill you.

"Last time a witch was killed was 300 years ago"

Spurred by the killing this week of a young woman accused of witchcraft in Papua New Guinea, the United Nations on Friday called on the country to address increasing vigilante violence against people accused of sorcery and to revoke a controversial sorcery law.

If mosque was in Syria a lot them would. Tell me, which Islamic country has a governing system that is compatible with our constitution? Give a single example!

Indonesia.

Acknowledged as fully democratic by both Freedom House and Economist democracy indexes.

Like this?

On September 27, 2014, the Aceh provincial parliament approved the Principles of the Islamic Bylaw and the Islamic criminal code (Qanun Jinayah), which create new discriminatory offenses that do not exist in the Indonesian national criminal code (Hukum Pidana). The bylaws extend Sharia, or Islamic law, to non-Muslims, which criminalize consensual same-sex sexual acts as well as all zina (sexual relations outside of marriage). The criminal code permits as punishment up to 100 lashes and up to 100 months in prison for consensual same-sex sex acts, while zina violations carry a penalty of 100 lashes.

Yep, that same Indonesia.

Tell me, which Islamic country has a governing system that is compatible with our constitution?

I took your question to refer to GOVERNING SYSTEM ( a constitutional democracy), not specific laws.

You are on the side of homophobes now. Great!
First of all, I said: "Tell me, which Islamic country has a governing system that is compatible with our constitution?", not a country populated by muslims. Secondly, each law is part of whole governing system. You can have totally democratic system with a law that says 'nobody can be of any other religion, but islam', which was, let's say, passed by general referendum. This still would be incompatible with OUR constitution, correct?

You are on the side of homophones now. Great!

No, I'm not on your side.

Yes, I realize now you were asking a very leading question. But it's an uninformed question too (i.e. how many countries in the West even have a constitutional democracy exactly like our own? Even the UK, our political forebears. have a form of democracy that wouldn't be comparable to ours.) In fact, if not all, most Western Democracies have nothing like our two party system

Indonesia is still Islamic country that is a constitutional democracy.

First of all, I said: "Tell me, which Islamic country has a governing system that is compatible with our constitution?", not a country populated by muslims.

Your question makes absolutely no sense.

No, I'm not on your side.

Who is talking 'exactly'? COMPATIBLE is the word. From the other hand, according to constitution, only natural born citizen can apply for president's job. Why is that? For no reason?

Your question makes absolutely no sense.
Let me educate you. There are secular countries populated with majority muslims, Turkey e.g., and countries that are based on Islamic laws, like Islamic republic of Iran. It is also true, that even secular countries are heavily influenced by the religious worldview of the majority of population, like US by Judea-Christian values. This makes the representative of any other religion incompatible to govern the country. Let me emphasize that we are talking about people who really are religious.

Don't get hung on constitution democracy, because that all means that the country has constitution approved by population. That constitution can include 'convert or die'. Any other questions?

No other questions; except I knew you were framing your post in a dishonest way.

Of course, if doesn't fit your framework - must be dishonest.

Considering you've said that yourself about people here, that's very ironic.

Deuteronomy 22:28-29New International Version (NIV)

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

Just to make it clear: You're an idiot.

You're an idiot because you are quoting a passage of scripture that the vast majority of Muslims do not act upon as some kind of indications that devout Muslims cannot have views compatible with our Constitution. Meanwhile, you are handwaving off abhorrent passages from Hebrew scriptures that the vast majority of Christians and Jews similarly do not act upon as if those passages are any less incompatible with Constitutional law.

You're stupid and a bigot and I am certain that you smell too.
