Uh, respectfully, Sharia law does not only come from the Quran. But I'm sure you know that. Here's just one little nugget from the Quran though.
Quran (4:89) - "They wish that you should reject faith as they reject faith, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper."
Now this is ridiculously long, and I clearly copied and pasted it, but it's a series of examples of Sharia Law drafted by a guy named Hasan Mahmud. He's an expert on Sharia Law. In what I saw he lists, in great deal, the sources for this list. Given his background I have no reason to not believe him.
THIS is Sharia Law. THIS is what 99% of Afghani's and 91% of Iraqi's support.
I won't respond again. As an atheist, it sort of disgusts me how easily people can justify atrocities in the name of their god.

Please note that Hudood, Diyat and Qisas cases are derived from the Quran and Prophet.
A. Hudood cases are (1) Theft, (2) Robbery and Tyranny against State, (3) Adultery /Fornication, (4) Defamation, (5) Drinking and (7) Apostasy. Some
Following are some of the Sharia Laws which I give forth as examples:
1. Denying “Scholarly consensus” about Sharia laws turns a Muslim to an apostate.[i]
2. Criminals of genocide, mass-rape, looting etc (Hiraba) will not be punished if they repent.[ii]
3. The Head of Islamic State cannot be charged in Hudood cases.[iii]
4. Proof of adultery and rape liable to Hudood shall be one of the following namely
(1) Either confession of the accused), or, (2) At least four Muslim adult male
witnesses give evidence as eyewitnesses.[iv]
5. Men can marry and keep up to four wives at one time.[v]
6. Men can divorce wives instantly; in such case she gets no maintenance.[vi]
7. A wife, if divorced in a regular manner in the course of two to three months gets maintenance only for maximum of 3 months.[vii]
8. To remarry the previous husband a divorced wife must marry another person, have sex with
him and get divorced by him voluntarily. (Often the husband pronounces “Divorce”
in a fit of anger and the Sharia Court forces the wife to marry a stranger, have sex with him
and get voluntary divorce from him to remarry the previous husband).[viii]
9. The only way for a wife to get divorce is to convince the Sharia Court that will negotiate with
the husband who often puts a monetary price for his approval. Without this, the woman
cannot marry again.[ix]
10. Women’s testimony is not accepted in Hudood cases.[x]
11. Evidence of a slave, female singer or a person of low-respect (street-sweeper, bath house
attendant etc) is not admissible.[xi]
12. Husbands are obliged to provide only food, clothes and accommodation to wives. Anything
else including doctor’s fees, medicines etc is a charity to her. A rebellious wife does not
get anything.[xii]
13. Adoption is not allowed in Sharia.[xiii]
14. Custody of kids goes to the mother provided she prays and does not marry a stranger
No such law is applicable to father. The father gets boys when they are 9 and girls when they are 7 years old. Kids belong to the father.[xiv]
15. A mother with custody of kids cannot go to distant places without permission of the father.[xv]
16. A Muslim man is allowed to beat his disobedient wife or wives.[xvi]
17. A Muslim man is allowed to have four wives at any given time. He is also allowed to divorce the wife or wives instantly and marry other women.[xvii]
18. Women inherit only half of what men do.[xviii]
19. Women’s testimony in Business transactions is worth half of men’s.[xix]
20. Women cannot be Bride’s guardians.[xx]
21. Women’s Blood Money is half of men’s.[xxi]
22. The murderer has to pay blood money or compensation if the family members want it, as follows: [xxii]
100,000 riyals if the victim is a Muslim man
50,000 riyals if a Muslim woman
50,000 riyals if a Christian man
25,000 riyals if a Christian woman
6,666 riyals if a Hindu man
3,333 riyals if a Hindu woman”
23. If the victim has son/s and daughter/s, then daughters cannot pardon the killer.[xxiii]
24. If a rapist cannot be punished, he has to pay bride-money without marrying (no other
punishment is suggested).[xxiv]
25. A Muslim shall not be put to death for murdering an unbeliever.[xxv]
26. Women’s witness is not accepted in Hudood cases.[xxvi]
27. Women judges are not allowed in Hudood cases. [xxvii]
28. The Presiding Officer of the court shall be a Muslim. In the cases where the accused is a non- Muslim, the Presiding Officer may be a non-Muslim.[xxviii]

33. It is recommended for a woman to wear a covering over her head (khimar), a full-length shift, and a heavy slip under it that does not cling to the body.[xxxii]
34. A majority of scholars (n: with the exception of some Hanafis, as at m2.8 ibid) have been recorded as holding that it is unlawful for women to leave the house with faces unveiled, whether or not there is likelihood of temptation. It is unlawful for women to be alone with a marriageable man. [xxxiii]
35. In Shiite law a man can marry a woman for a fixed time from few seconds to several
years.[xxxiv] Rich men from the Middle East travel to Southern India to take advantage of
this law on poor women, so do rich Iranian men with their women. The suffering of
those women and children born out of this practice is beyond comprehension.
36. If a woman claims to be having her period but her husband does not believe her, it is lawful
for him to have sexual intercourse with her.[xxxv]
37. The Caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians (if they don’t become
Muslims or pay Jiziya tax) and the war continues.[xxxvi]
38. Being unyielding towards the unbelievers, hard against them and detesting them …..is a
decree of Allah. [xxxvii]
Mere review of these laws illustrates the inherent injustice in them. Any effort made to justify them in the name of religion is the works of motivated men to perpetuate oppression of women and other disadvantaged class of people. These laws are not derived from the Quran, if anything; Quran has been misinterpreted to support these laws. It is obvious that these laws cannot serve justice. That is why the claim of radical Islamists that Sharia laws had served justice in the past is totally unfounded, as shown in another chapter.
It is a matter of the legacy of patriarchal attitude of human history in general. I submit below a short list of Hadiths (Prophet’s Examples) that amply demonstrates this attitude and what we have been saying all along, namely, the supercilious and brow-beating attitude of a patriarchal society towards its own women! Many of the Sharia laws are created based on these and other similar corrupt documents.
1. Wife must shave her pubic hair if husband returns home at night after a long journey.[xxxviii]
2. A man will not be asked in hereafter as to why he beat his wife.[xxxix]
3. If a woman is to prostrate to another person (besides Allah) it will be her husband.[xl]
4. Women can visit mosques but must not wear perfume. [xli]
5. A divorced woman must marry another man and must intercourse before she can remarry her former husband.[xlii]
6. Majority of women are in hell.[xliii].
7. One must seek Allah's refuge from women, slaves and camels.[xliv]
8. If a woman abandons her husband’s bed for the night then the angels curse her until morning. [xlv]
9. Prayer is annulled by a passing woman, dog and a monkey.[xlvi]
10. A woman enters slavery of her husband in marriage.[xlvii]
11. A woman is like a rib---that is why she has the crookedness.[xlviii]
