Perhaps. But this action will have the effect of either forcing people to continue to live in fear or challenge the authority of the theocrats. There is a long list of countries that were founded or changed by people who decided to stand against such cruelty.
From what I understand, the Sharia is not Islamic (religious) law in that it comes directly from the Koran; it is the legal system written by men that could be said to be Islam-inspired or Islam-derived.
