Actually the standard of proof in Shari'a court is much higher than in western adversarial law.  Circumstantial evidence is seldom accepted.  A Shari'a attorney can't knowingly defend someone he knows is guilty; and the victims' survivors have the option of forgiving the murderer and/or demanding reparation from him rather than having him executed, as they have the primary say in his sentence.  But I do understand how difficult it is to maintain stereotypes and misinformation in light of the facts.  I'm just not terribly sympathetic concerning such "difficulties", however.
