I've yet to find a historical case where religion and government being mixed together resulted in more stable and free society than one where religion and government were separated. It doesn't matter whether it's Shar'iah or a Christian theocracy, mixing the power of God with the power of the people never seems to work out.
I'd never live in a country that combined the two.
