Not complying with anybody in authority is BREAKING THE LAW and therefore they deserve everything they get...... Even torture if the law allows it.....
Don't you agree ?[/quote
If you do not want to be a criminal then I agree absolutely.
On the other hand if society decides that such a law is wrong then there is a democratic (well, in the case of Britain sort of democratic) way that it can, and would be changed.
Not so in Islam. What was set down 1300 years ago is as right today as it was then and will remain so in perpetuity.
Take so called Honour Killings…..
Motor vehicles are an expected hazard on and by roads and steps and laws are in place to deal with them to then extent that is possible.
A trip or slip hazard on a pavement is not.

If we can forget about Islam for one second....
"if society decides that such a law is wrong"
Errr - does society decide or does the government decide ?
I think the latter....
"A trip or slip hazard on a pavement is not."
Yes, but a trip or a slip could happen anywhere - surely we should ban running or even walking just in case it happens ?
So to be clear - you absolutely agree with my statement:
"If they want to make a law saying they can rape your wife and cut off your head then you MUST allow them to do it, because IT IS THE LAW, and ALL PEOPLE WHO BREAK THE LAW ARE EVIL AND MUST BE PUNISHED......"
Yes ?
