#1 He said the Talibanâs lightning-speed trials -- sentencing a thief one week and having a doctor using anesthesia cut off his hand the next -- bore no resemblance to real Shariah law.

"Real Shariah law forbids the use of anesthesia when we cut off people's hands!"

#5 NMM, I posted an answer to your question on the Mousetrap Post from yesterday. BTW I have no technical degree or offical qualifications. It's often been implied that I am certifiable.

#6 "Thereâs a big difference between Taliban law and Shariah law,"

#9 "Saddiqi, whose thick black beard and swirling turban indicate his status as a mullah"
"saddiqi" means friend in Arabic. They call homebrew alcohol "sid" in Saudiland. I doubt that Mullah Friend is aptly named.
