The Current State Of Sharia Law

There are few different branches of Islam but the two most prominent branches are Sharia law and Sufism. Sharia law and Sufism both seem to contradict each other. Sharia laws are the Qur’anic rules for the tangible world. The law includes predetermined punishment and rewards for actions, clearly defined by the Qur’an. It also has a spectrum of the lawfulness of actions, ranging from required to forbidden. Sufism, however, takes a more mystical approach to the practice of Islam. Sufism focuses on rejecting the material world and becoming one with God through self-annihilation. Despite the difference, I argue Sharia law and Sufism can be reconciled because although one person cannot practice both at the same time, but both versions of Islam

“Life is full of unhappiness and most of it caused by women (Harik and Marston 11)”. For women in the Middle East life is faced with great and unequal odds, as their human rights are limited, due to Islamic beliefs and that of patriarchy. From their daily actions at home to their physical appearance, Middle Eastern women are portrayed as quiet, faceless women veiled from head to toe. While this image is just another stereotype, women in the middle do face many obstacles and challenges of creating their own identity as they are frequently denied a voice in their rights. Living in a society dominated by men life is not, but regardless women in the Middle East, predominantly Muslims, continue to fight for

Since Ahmad Baba points out that Islamic law permitted a Muslim to raid and enslave non-Muslims, do you think that the non-Mulsim Mandinka (Mandingos) would have considered it justifiable to enslave Ayuba, since he was a Muslim?

Islam is now the second most practiced religion in Canada, only behind Catholicism. Approximately one million people living in Canada identify as Muslim, making it one of the largest minority groups within Canada. Internationally, Canada can be identified as a multicultural country, known for its diversity of population and for its policies which enforce toleration for those living within Canada. The film Sharia in Canada – The Pitfalls of Diversity explores the debates around allowing for Sharia law to exist as a legitimate law form within Canada. This is a point of contention throughout various groups of people in Canada.

Canadian Multiculturalism Canada is a country with an unique cultural diversity. Unlike many other societies, Canada thrives on diversity, acceptance and respect values. Multiculturalism encourages new comers and people from different backgrounds to identify themselves as a part of the Canadian society. Therefore, giving everyone a voice and means to express their opinions.

Sharia Law is lead by many Islamic groups, one group, The Muslim Brotherhood is the largets, oldest, and best camouflaged Islamic movement in the world today.It is both a politcal group and a religious group founded on the belief that it is not just an Islamic religion, but it is also a way of life. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928.It’s founder was Hassan al-Banna,who was also an Egyptian teacher.The Muslim Brotherhood was financed by Adolf Hitler and they also fought for him, as Nazi troops.

It is typical for Americans and the world in general to judge people from North Africa, particularly Arabs. This they do without actually walking in their shoes and living their lives. In particular, after the wave of terrorism that hit the United States and the world at large since the turn of the century, there has been a negative perception towards North Africans and the Arab world at large. It is for this reason that Julia Clancy-smith took a trip to Algeria and Tunisia in order to give the world an unbiased view of the world in which North Africans live (Clancy-Smith 50). The author focused on the political and religious actions of those considered the Muslim and their followers. Additionally, she gives a detailed analysis of the accommodation and resistance to the colonial rule. She rejects the popular position that Tunisians and Algerians were victims of colonial aggression from the west and argued instead that Muslim notables actually understood the complications of the outside world and were therefore, able to manipulate the changes that were taking place around them. This paper is focused on reviewing this book in the context of the twenty first century.

“The ultimate responsibilities of the judge at a trial was to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused. In the event the accused was found guilty of a tazir offense, the judge determined the appropriate sanction” (Terrill, 2013). The U.S. laws are diverse as in a judge or a seat of jury decides the blame of an indicted individual. The jury tunes in to the indicting party and the resistance party compositions looking into it. Witnesses are drawn from the two sides of the prosecuting attorney and the defending attorney to either help or hurt the trying cases. The US laws depend on the tradition or rights whereby it is agreed that nobody ought to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. All the more in this way, every sentenced individual is assumed innocent until proven to be guilty in the US. “Because Islamic procedural law did not provide for a prosecutor, the jurisdictional duties of the shurta were expensive. They were authorized to investigate crimes in Sharia that were punishable by a fixed penalty or hudud and carried out the corporal penalties imposed” (Terrill, 2013).

Strict interpretation of Sharia by the Taliban was enforced in all the regions captured by the Taliban. Some areas had harsher rules than other, Kabul was one of the cities were strict rules were reinforced since Kabul was the most liberty region because of communist ideology. The rural regions were affect as much, since they were already traditional and observed Sharia laws prior to the Taliban. The restriction imposed on the Afghan people included: prohibition of women from work, prohibition of women and girls from schools, females were not allowed to talk to opposite sex once they reach puberty, women had to be accompanied by male relative, women were required to wear burqa, men were required to pray five times a day in the mosque, beard,

If I were asked to defend a US citizen charged with a crime in another country, it would be the most difficult to provide a quality defense in a country under Islamic law. For one, if my client were female or not a Muslim, they would already be treated less fairly as Sharia courts give preference to Muslim males (Terrill, 2013). Also, there is no option to have a jury hear the case as the judge retains complete control of the court and makes all decisions (Terrill, 2013). Language would also be a barrier as English is not the primary spoken language. I would also not be able to introduce evidence that would help exonerate my client as Sharia courts are extremely limited in the evidence allowed (Terrill, 2013). Typically evidence is limited to only oral testimony and I would need at a minimum two eyewitnesses. Plus, if they were not Muslim, then the court would not give their testimony full merit (Terrill, 2013).

Al-Shabaab as a terrorist group poses a significant threat in Somalia and in the global community. This paper will start by discussing the background. In this part the paper will show how the group has evolved from Al-Ittihad Al-Islam (AIAI) to the Islamic Court Union (ICU) and lastly to Al-Shabaab. Before discussing the group’s threat of national security, homeland and international, this paper will provide the conceptual meaning of key terminology, such as national security, homeland security, international security and globalization. It is important to understand these concepts before moving toward the main argument of the paper. After providing the framework for key concepts, the paper will discuss the group’s threat to Somalia in two areas, national security and homeland security. The paper will go further and identify the threats posed by the group on other nations’ homeland security and international security. We will use East African countries and the United States examples. The paper will provide evidence to support how globalization has shaped and fueled the threats from Al-Shabaab. It will then discuss the primary response from the United States and from African countries through AMISOM. The paper will provide the way forward and suggestions for the response of the international community to Al-Shabaab. In conclusion, we will try to alert the international community that although the group has been experience hard times in Somalia, it is unwise to

The Quran tenets encompass various life aspects that include God’s teachings, the way of harmonious living in the community, moral virtues, the regulations on financial matters, and specific obligations among Muslims males and females. In general, the sharia law is an extended platform that provides guidance on family affairs, criminal judgment, political perception, and economic factors.

The Sharia Court is mentioned only in State List which is under Art 74 empowered the Legislature of State to make laws to any matter listed in State List which consists of Islamic law and establishment of Sharia Court. As such, the Sharia Court is only a State court which is created based on the State law.
