If you were to follow the ten commandments literally, what kind of evil do you think would come out of "Though shalt not murder"?
As for moral guidelines, Sharia is much more than that. It's the law of Allah, passed down to men through the prophet Mohammed.

it is completely not true about alcohol...I have seen arabs drink alcohol in almost every muslim country...at worst its like weed in western countries, nothing you do in the open...this does not include saudi arabia or jemen...
public whippings of women are only in saudi and yemen...I can not speak for those 2 countries...
here is what shariah law says about rape:
If a woman claims that she has been raped, she does not have to bring any witnesses to prove her claim; her word will be taken as truth without the need of any witnesses whatsoever. And because she claimed she was raped, she will be treated honorably and free of any wrong doing whatsoever. There is absolutely no question of any punishment for her, because she was the innocent party and a victim of the heinous crime committed against her.
it is a snippet taken from islamhelpline.net I do not know them but I know how islamic law works...the punishment for rape for a man is death btw...
