I hate Sharia law. At least in its literal interpretation.

I'm glad that the Christians and Jews have by and large decided to ignore the more extreme statements in their holy books.

It would be interesting if more Christians actually engaged in turning the other cheek, loving their enemies,a nd so on.  Those extreme statements are in the holy book.

By extreme I meant the negative ones. To be fair the new testament doesn't have many but the old testament (which is closely related to the Torah) is full of things that would really be rather bad if implemented in real life. Mostly Leviticus and Deuteronomy, which contain some rather nasty things.
