Sharia is based off Hadith and the Quran.

True, but having the most accurate(?) hadiths doesn't make Bukhari a Sharia founder. Sharia is mainly shaped by Arabs and their traditions.

Sharia law has to be justified by the Quran or Hadith otherwise its considered Bidah

Yet, it were the Umayyads who appointed Islamic judges, kadis to decide cases involving Muslims in their own way

The Umayyads wrapped their pre-Islamic Bedouin Arab traditions with some Islamic provisions, attributing it to God under the name of Sharia, and corrupted this concept as “God's law”. Many Sharia laws were excisted before Islam in the region after all.

Interestingly, most Muslims, including young people, support the implementation of Sharia law even in countries where it is not implemented.

following the word of god should be a choice and not forcefully imposed on you by other...humans. this is the whole idea. you should have the free will to take the right decisions. how can you be judged in the afterlife for the choices you've made if you had no choice? god gave you the freedom to take decisions based on your own consciousness. if god wanted you to do something against your will he would have forced your to do it himself.
