There is no difference between a dictator who enforces secular law at gun point, and a dictator who enforces shariah law at gunpoint.

How was Shari'a law enforced at the time of the Sahaba? By giving out leaflets?
Lets not get silly here!
Why don't you tell us how you beleive Shari'a became the law of the land in the countries where the Muslims ruled over.

As was pointed out, all human-enforced laws of this world are enforced at gunpoint.

Regardless of the system of governance, it is a serious error to claim that a ruler who seeks to enforce the Divine Law is equivalent to a ruler who seeks to enforce man-made ordinances.
