Yes Quran and Sunnah is the EDL handbook. The fact Islam proscribes these punishments doesnt mean all Muslims are like this. A lot of Muslims are better than these medieval texts.
Apostasy at the time of the Caliphs was like treason as the whole identity was based on religion. I totally understand why for political reasons they had it back then in a primitive society. But people still implement this punishment today simply for people having views deemed to be too heretical and challenging the status quo even if u are not actually an atheist or non believer. As soon as someone charges u as an apostate and blasphemer you are a walking target in somwhere like Pakistan and much of the Muslim world. Apostasy punishment in this day and age has become obsolete as the circumstances are totally different and it is used merely to perpetuate social control and conformity.
Or Zakir Naiks ridiculous logic of you cant preach other faiths in Muslim countries because we know its false. But its ok for him to preach against hinduism sitting in India. If the religion is so perfect surely it will able to defend itself from all comers. But like a lot of doctrines that claim a monopoly on truth often that monopoly has to be maintained through coercion and shutting down of debate.
stoning is in the hadith.

Yes i am sure Muslim men are fairly happy with islamic marriage laws as it is totally rigged in their favour. Why need to change and lose that position of power and privilege.
it doesnt help a woman out at all as two womens testimony is always required to equal that of a mans. So if its a mans words against a womans and she cant get another witness automatically her case is dismissed according to Sharia. And why is is that two women are required for one man.
Narrated Abu Hurairah:
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a Khtubah in which he exhorted them, then he said: "O women! Give charity for you are the majority of the people of the Fire." A woman among them said: "And why is that O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Because of your cursing so much." - meaning your ungratefulness towards your husbands. He said: "And I have not seen any among those lacking in intellect and religion who are more difficult upon people possessing reason and insight than you." A woman among them said: "And what is the deficiency of her intellect and religion?" He said: "The testimony of two women among you is like the testimony of a man, and the deficiency in your religion is menstruation, because one of you will go three or four days without performing Salat."

so because the perfect human being decided women are inferior in intellect to men thats why two female witnesses are required to one man in a Sharia court. Which if done by any modern legal system would be classed as misogynistic and sexist. Its all well and good in the 7th century but now these laws just perpetuate discrimination.
the due penalty for those who insult the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) and harm him by speaking ill of him with poetry or otherwise is death - and this was the penalty that Ka‘b bin Al-Ashraf received. We derive from this that anyone who verbally abuses the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) whether in covenant with the Muslims or not, is due death as punishment. Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah may Allah have mercy upon him aptly explained these rulings in detail in his book As-Saarim Al-Maslool ‘alaa Shaatim Ar-Rasool:
Punishment for Blasphemy is recorded in the Sira ul RasulAllah and hadith. And has been used by scholars to justify blasphemy punishments. Molvis dont justify death sentence for blasphemy out of thin air.

So if u say talaq talaq talaq to your wife that wont be classed as divorce under islamic law. That is rubbish go to any imam and say that u said talaq 3 times to your wife and they will say she isnt halal for you anymore. But the women can only get divorce at the discretion of a judge. which is unfair and again a rigged system.
Yes anyone who doesnt conform to your own biases and criticises Islam automatically becomes ignorant on the topic. Living in western countries we get an experience of a watered down Islam but u go to a country where the religion still has power and legal control then u see the injustices it perpetuates.
