What your saying is that sharia is a vague set of rules to be played around with. In that case democracy would be a much better option donchaknow.
I wasn't talking about Shari'ah to be interpreted by laymen. Rather it is open to be interpreted by qualified Shuyukh. Each nation is different in it's own unique way so there's a specific interpretation of shari'ah for the unique situations in regard to those respective nations.

The beauty of the Shari'ah is that it's not just a set of rules carved in stone. Each ruling is unique with a common foundation as stated by Allah and his Rasool.

The Shari'ah only works if it is used properly. If it is just spewn about as fodder for those 'self appointed think tanks' then obviously it's basically amounts to a caveman who thinks a book is supposed to be used for fuel to feed a fire (if you get my meaning)
