Both are based on their bible. The Koran is basically the old testament which is similar to the christian old testament. The stoning, cutting off of hand, etc, are all the same. The primary difference is which bible that they follow. The newer testament was suppose to take over from the old testament, but since neither judiasm or Islam believe that Jesus was anything other than a man, they still follow the old views.

That helps a little. I have read and studied the OT countless times as well as the Koran and I find that in a large forest of trees, only several of them kind of look the same. IMHO. Granted there are similarities in the precept "eye for an eye, and tooth for a tooth" as well as certain punishments.

That's the best explanation I've seen to date, although you left out a couple of important factors.
One is that while it is old testament attitudes, it was created hundreds of years after the Christian "new testament" hence may be somewhat reactionary in tone.
Another is that it is to be imposed on all be they of the faith or not.
A third is that it is to supersede any other law.

When the local Baptists used the Department of Social and Health Services to file a "Petition to Deny Parental Rights Forever" against me, the prosecution's child advocate stated that my son needed a "higher law". The prosecution believed my developmentally disabled son would improve if he was in a Christian home. Doesn't this express the belief of Christians that their Christian faith supersedes any other law? At least in my opinion it does.

I'd say that notion is far from limited to those people.
The problem arises with the enforcement. One may not agree with gay marriage, for example, but those so married have a right to their beliefs and they should be left to live the way they wish.
