You don't get it and you never will.
It's connected and it's a the EVIL root of ISLAM.

Very prickly animals, dragons. Even a greyhound is cuddlier!

I get it just fine, Hammurabi has NOTHING to do with Islam. The writers practiced a different religion, couldn’t even practice Islam if they wanted to (which they also couldn’t) since it wouldn’t exist for 2300 years.

Keep lying to yourself.
The roots are there for those who are not blinded.

Go find it yourself.
I want nothing to do with the EVILS of ISLAM.
The term Sharia simply means Islamic law.
Sharia is derived from the Koran and other Islamic holy works and precendents.
Some Muslims view Sharia as the body of Islamic law established in the past, especially before the 19th century.
How a time time can be set on law has no basic in the Koran and seems difficult to justify intellectually.
As a result, other Islamic scholars view Sharia as a changing body without any set chronological limits.
It goes way back, beyond
Islamic law and/or Middle Eastern law (3000 BC to 1000 BC) and any high school student of the 60s or 70s knows that.
I guess today's government schools have really descended into HELL!

You’re the one making the claims, you need to prove them. I did half the work for you, I provided the Code of Hammurabi, now which parts of it come from Islam? You’re the one that insists a document from 1772 BC is tainted by a religion that came up 2300 years later, PROVE IT.

No you haven’t. All you do is shout. Which items in the Code come from Islam? I gave you a link to the code, find one (1) that comes from Islam. It should be easy if things are as you claim. Go ahead.

Go away child.
There are plenty of links I've already give you.
Go play games with someone else who is as dense as you.

None of your links prove what you’re saying. The best you’ve got is that Islamic law built on the Code. Problem with that of course is that since the Code came out of the cradle of civilization pretty much ALL laws (including our very own Constitution) owe some of their origin to it.
The more you insult the more you show you’re wrong. People with facts don’t need insults.

I know. It was a waste of 18 years for me, too, except for a good typing class and a great 12th grade English teacher. In elementary school they diagnosed me as “gifted,” so I was sent to another room where we played computer games. That eventually led to me getting a job after college. So at least there’s one bright spot.
This is the reason my three kids homeschool. We try not to waste their time.
We certainly did learn about the Code of Hammurabi. ;-) We love history here.

I read about that stuff in my girl’s middle school world history text recently. It was quite interesting. Not sure if I forget it the first time or it is truly new to me.

They never taught any of that stuff 60-70 years ago when I was in school.

Then you said, "and dont know why anyone should!!!" Really? You don't think anyone should know anything about any of those subjects?

The rivers i’ve heard of the rest of it no and as far as religion I canned that for hot rods and drag racing when I was 8 years old.
