Sha'ria Law is beyond democracy, and if you think democracy works then you're no better off than those that voted for Bush both times. All democracy is, is a title. It's not practiced as it should be, and you know it isn't. So, who's pretending what here? ON the subject, don't pretend you know about Sha'ria Law either just because you know an often mis-interpreted portion thereof.

What you call "degrading women" is nothing more than the common western opinion and you're not expected to understand it. You think that a woman being free is a woman walking around half-naked. Meanwhile you don't understand why most murders are crimes of passion.

Unlike most of you, I don't have to pretend anything. Men are above women because man was created first. If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that The Qur'an says clearly, "Men are a degree above woman."
