dont get carried away, i said I believe in those items you listed, in one sense, but not in the caricatured narrow sense. So when I say I believe that Islam provides guidance for all times I believe it is applicable in all times. How that is applied through the Sharia will change just as in any legal tradition their are immutable and mutable features and even circumstances where specific injunctions need to be suspended in preference to other injunctions.
Yes I understand that, but how do you decide what specific areas are applicable in a context and what is not. For example you said that you do not believe that marriage should be allowed between a 53 year old and a 9 year old in our context today. Other Muslims would disagree with you.
If this is the timeless divine law we are talking about, then what is the point if it ends up simply being a matter of opinion?
Many would say stoning, beheading apostates, flogging adulterers, throwing gays off tall buildings, allowing slaves, chopping hands off thieves, and hitting ones wife are all part of this "Timeless Shari'ah" - others disagree.
I'm interested in how you decide on what should be applied and what not and in what context etc...
It seems to me to undermine the whole idea of a timeless divine law if the basis of that is personal opinion - and if Muslims can't agree on what this divine law actually is - or what parts and when and where it should be applied - don't you think?
