Oh, I meant "has ever written" not has ever wrote. A typo.

You know, my parents once tried to teach me not to steal with that. Specifically the scene from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves when a guy gets his hand cut off for stealing. You know what it taught me?
Don't get caught. And I didn't.
Your solution is not a solution.

Yes they have. The Declaration of Independence states "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Well I am happy for you Brian. So you where there when it all began ? My your old !
As for me, I'm more than happy where I am. From the US news reports I see, I would say I'm in the better country and things aren't brilliant here with a CONservative government which has the blood of many innocent victims on its hands, at home and abroad(as has the USA - I smile when I here folk say - 'we live in the land of the brave and the free'). Mind you, this place maybe a milder hell than the next !!!
Depends where you are in the USA and where you are in the UK, geographically and socially. The UK isn't so amazing either politically.
The idea that so many people in the USA have about their country being the most just, fair, free and/or equal in the world is somewhat odd.

More and more, not a lot of people really hold that opinion.
Yes,most of Muslim countries follow sharia law,where is the problem ?
I guess in West, when you heard "Sharia law" you just recall, "stone by death, and abuse woman ...etc ",right ?
You seems missed my point about religious war.
You said that an imperfect interpretation can't be enforced on people, but obviously it is because lots of countries have different forms of sharia law enforced. So something's up.
OK, so can you give me a fleshed-out example of when it would be OK to kill someone for leaving Islam?

I saw a video being circulated widely on Facebook of a Muslim woman being decapitated by sword with Arabic police standing by. The video said, see how Muslims treat women?
So I did some research and discovered that the woman was convicted of murdering her son.
And it was a more humane execution than any in the States!

No, we mostly just look at the Middle East and say "No, thank you..."
Not much different,I can say we are on commun/agreement than disagreement.
It's already happened in Islam history,when some polytheist convert to Islam,then when war comes between Muslims VS polytheists, so some of those Muslim convert(back) to polytheism as betraying,to fight Muslims.(to go to side on enemy).
There is some reference in Sirah,some Muslims convert(back) to polytheism,they don't kill them,because they don't had the intention to be enemy.
I most blamed both sides on what happening in ME,West had dirty hands by interventions,since Iraq/Iran war.

The West didn't impose Sharia Law.

Lex talionus (eye for eye, tooth for tooth) is the foundation of the criminal justice system.
Take a life, have your life taken. Life for life.
It's nice when that happens
I have heard of the Ridda Wars. But OK, so say somebody switches side, but doesn't change their religion? i.e. they are fighting on the other side in the war now but are still Muslim? Do you kill them?
Which criminal "justice" system is that, exactly?

All of the just ones. Eye for eye and tooth for tooth means the punishment fits the crime. And it is not literal.
You don't retaliate by taking 2 teeth for only one tooth. It is exact compensation. If I steal a dollar, I repay a dollar. It is the gentlest justice.
