[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Pkn0qIOF9v74/en/physician-discusses-the-quran-sharia-law-and-her-family-s-escape-from-iran?t=18) You know, it's kind of refreshing because if you want to be a Muslim that follows exactly what it says in the Quran, this is what you would say.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Pkn0qIOF9v74/en/physician-discusses-the-quran-sharia-law-and-her-family-s-escape-from-iran?t=27) It's, it's very honest. Um, I agree that we need more moderate Muslims that say maybe we don't need to take the Quran literally, but I've read the Quran.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Pkn0qIOF9v74/en/physician-discusses-the-quran-sharia-law-and-her-family-s-escape-from-iran?t=35) I know what it says to do to Jews in the Quran, and no one can deny it to me because I studied it. Yeah.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Pkn0qIOF9v74/en/physician-discusses-the-quran-sharia-law-and-her-family-s-escape-from-iran?t=42) So at least this person is being honest, but Sharia law is not compatible with the West- Yeah ... and the freedoms that we enjoy here.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Pkn0qIOF9v74/en/physician-discusses-the-quran-sharia-law-and-her-family-s-escape-from-iran?t=58) Uh, women can be stoned. Um, i- it's, this is why my family, thank God, got me out of Iran- Yeah ... because with my honesty and my mouth, uh, I would have not have done well- ... under this regime over there.
