I'm not promoting it but why do you assume Shariah can only present itself as it did in a more barbaric age. That seems scary all right but I don't think that fear is very realistic in this age. Shariah is adaptable to representative government and visa versa. It is one among many resources we all have to consider when thinking of how things may or may not be improved. Because I'm looking realistically at who has the whip hand in Islamic politics and religion, and it's not the moderates. It's the Salafi fundamentalists, who specialize in sealing their arguments by killing their opponetns. This is not compatible with any form of representative government.
