It is impossible to turn on the news without seeing some coverage relating to Islam. This coverage is typically negative, but it has resulted in the terms “Islam” and “Sharia law” being brought to the attention of many people. In America, it is feared that Sharia law will be implemented in some form or fashion. However, a pluralist system integrating Sharia law is already being installed in Britain. This system has many impacts not just in Britain, but also the world. Britain is an example of a modern, western country implementing Sharia despite rampant Islamophobia. The continuing immigration of Muslims due to unrest in the Middle East, the integration of Sharia law in other countries is a possibility and continuing increase of Islamophobia, the integration of Sharia law is a relevant topic for many countries. Since World War II, Muslims have immigrated to Britain for chances of a better life. From the start, they have faced hostility from the host population. Racial tensions existed from the start, creating ethnic enclaves. This division left racial and ethnic minorities isolated from the majority, leaving them to lead totally separate lives. In the 1960s, there was a push to accept diversity, however this only occurred if the minority accepted British values. This led to the establishment of mosques, Islamic schools, and restaurants that offered Halaal food. However, in the 1990s the Muslim community was brought into more conflict with the host population.
1) Identify specific financial statements auditing concepts and procedures that could be applied in determining whether an Islamic bank has been Shari’a compliant during a given financial reporting period?
Canada has welcomed many people from all over the world to become a part of its’ nation. It is no surprise that Canada is considered to be one of the most multicultural countries in the world. To continue to foster its strong multicultural identity, Canada tries to accommodate people from various religions, cultures, and ethnicities. Many implementations have been made to make the nation an inclusive society for its inhabitants. One of the many adaptations that the country has made concerning the growth of multiculturalism is the agreement of the Islamic (Sharia) law practice in Ontario - with the consent of both parties it can be used in
Shariati provided a profound new interpretation of Islam in particular Shi’a Islam. His interpretation served as the ideologue of the Iranian Revolution. Many among the Iranians were influenced by his thoughts regarding Western Imperialism, capitalism, and identity crisis. It is undeniably true that most of the Third World countries are suffering from not just Western capitalism, but also of cultural imperialism. As Edward Said pointed out Gramchi’s “cultural hegemony”, the glamour of the west and their attempt to impose their cultural values and manners had caused the Third World to loss their national identity. Third World including the Islamic countries are being used by the West to achieve their goal of imperialism and be the powerful to judge the universal
Terrorism. The Oxford Dictionary defines terrorism as “the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.” For some the problem seems so distant, that its nothing more than a cover story. For others it is an issue that is just outside the door of their homes. A documented example of the oppression of Sharia law and terrorism is the story of Malala, a young muslim woman who spent a majority of her adolescents in Pakistan enduring hardships such as sexist communities, severe violence, war, and the stolen right to an education. How could one girl Overcome these horrible things?
There is no doubt that the formation of the Islamic State in the Middle East has created religious tension throughout the world. Furthermore, Western media appears somewhat biased towards the Muslim faith by publishing content specifically aimed to fit Western values. This has led to the rise of Islamophobia, and in turn, an ‘evil’ mindset. Some politicians have even gone far enough to propose a deportation of Muslims from the United States. Additionally, numerous Muslims face discrimination and even violent attacks on a day to day basis. This is similar to the actions taken against Jews in Nazi Germany at the beginning of the
People have a tendency to trust their government and are perfectly content going along with the humanitarian façade the government portrays, unaware of the violations that are occurring. The press depicts the refugees as fleeing from the horrors of Sharia law, causing people to have compassion for them, however, once they enter Europe, they continue to live by that same law. Others accept these violations because they are afraid of the consequences if they fight for their own ideals and beliefs and unfortunately they come to accept the violations. On the other hand, political leaders of the European countries treat any kind of Islamic criticism as a form of racism and justify their actions as an act of solidarity and see their efforts as an altruistic endeavor toward the victims being persecuted.
There are people dedicated to forwarding the notion that America’s city with the largest Muslim population is a haven of Sharia law, a place where women are stoned for stepping out of line.
Muslim women have been the centre of intercession being utilized as proofs of 'cultural backwardness'. Intervention in Muslim communities by focusing on women as a vehicle for social change has a long history.44 In Europe, the contention over the hijab has been especially extreme with the most grounded rejection happening in France where hijab as a religious image is illegal in state organizations, particularly schools.45.46 Nevertheless, enactments denying female circumcision and arranged/forced marriage have been seen as Muslim practices needing direction, despite the fact that there is no reference to culture in these laws. The attention on Muslim women viably uses them as a measure of Muslim incorporation. The headscarf is by a wide margin
Thesis Statement: Due to limited exposure to Islam and the Muslim lifestyle and a narrow scope of news reporting there is an ever increasing trend of Islamophobia affecting many individuals throughout many different countries.
Therefore, in order to actualize sufficient information availability, it is necessary to form an integrated system that consists among others of licensing information system, licensing services, and licensing monitoring. The integration system at least must be integrated, fast, and simple. Besides capable to provide institutional data accurately, the system is also expected to accelerate time of service through improvement of coordination intensivity transparently, including simplifying reporting procedures which certainly will connect directly with time and cost efficiencies.
Islam has started around 600 through 1100 CE, and ever since Islam had continued to spread rapidly throughout the world. It changed politics, society, cultures, gender, and Dar al-Islam played a big role in the various ethnic groups. Islam and Muslims had to face a lot of obstacles, and new groups emerging.
In the OIC third observatory report to the United Nations it seeks for Muslim refugee accommodation by the host country opposed to assimilation and seen as the best strategy to integrate The Muslims either by immigration or refugee status protected by Sharia Law expect accommodation not assimilation. The underlying motive in Sharia Law frees the Muslim from assimilation, integration, and therefore retain genuine identity as a Muslim. The host country has no alternative to accept the Muslim protected by the United Nations charter and observatory report to accommodate capitulating consequently, in the case of Europe, sophistication and law. The Muslim has the freedom to practice Sharia as in England set up a legal system contrary to British law. It seems to be horrific for the Muslim to perceive Sariah as acceptable believing the value of Sariah as just and righteous at the expense of the British, for example. And not only in England the Muslim persuades his or her righteousness, but throughout Europe and United States. The intertwined language of the OIC embodied by fifty-seven Muslim states and the United Nations agreed to the resolution of intolerance and discrimination against Muslims. However; the view turned depict host countries as victims of sponsoring a deadly ideology negating western values and national identity. The intolerance and discrimination to the contrary not against Muslims; instead the host country stricken by Sharia Law and forced to submit to a medieval ideology. Western Law deemed unfit for the Muslim and Sharia tailored perfectly unchangeable due to its omnipotent nature. Unless Americans wake up and examine the ideology and riveting purpose to enforce Islamic Law the melding of globalization under the Sacred Canopy of Islam has no alternative to unfold in an astutely manner a Universal
The Muslim religion had originated from the prophet Muhammad who claimed to have been visited by Gabriel, one of God’s angles, who supposedly exposed the words of God to Muhammad. Because of these events with the interaction between the angel preaching the words of God to Muhammad, it later fashioned the Qur’an which is known today as the Islam Bible. The word Islam and Muslim refers to surrendering to the almighty God and his laws. Soon after, the development of the Sharia was underway. The Sharia, known as Islamic law, sparked the development after the nomadic tribes in the Arabian Peninsula worshiped and adored many gods. Each Arabian tribe has their own system of laws focusing mainly on matrimony, hospitableness, and retribution. The Qur’an, which was fashioned from the angel’s preaching’s to Muhammad, had morals of human behavior which thus began the Islamic law known as Sharia. The Sharia essentially contains laws that benefit men and cripples the almost all
This paper discusses the threat that Islam poses to America and the western world. Islam is a very large religion that has increasingly widespread influence on the world. Countries that are ruled by theocracies of Islam are some of the weakest and violent countries on Earth. Countries who are enveloped by Islam tend to have the highest percentage of extremists as well. This paper also discusses the history of Islam, its founding, what it it teaches, and how the religion has affected the world since its origin. The paper goes on to show incompatibilities that Islam has with the western world, whether that may be democracy or individual rights. Further, the dangers of Islamic immigration to
Moreover, democratic rights and freedom for individuals are part of modern law; rulings such as sadd al-dharai could be presumed that these rights would be impeded upon. Shari’ah does not obstruct the freedom of humans right to life; it sets guidelines for a moral and ethical life (Ozalp, 2012). Shari’ah should be conceived as protection of human rights. Law has a purpose and its core entity of law is to serve justice (Rohe, 2014). Law no matter where in the world it is applied, tries to sustain a necessary order for its citizens and allow no room for undesirable conflicts (El-Fadl, 2006). The fact that such an Islamic ruling may already be in place would come as a surprise to many.
