Sharia law?

Question

Are there any countries in the world that practice true Islamic sharia law? Why do most of the Muslim countries choose not to practice it?

Answer 1

Well, Afghanistan under the Taliban practiced Sharia law, only with sometimes excessive punishment. The Arabian peninsula, under the control of the Saudis, uses their own brand of Shar'ia. Furthermore, most all Muslim countries do not allow the passage of law that are contradictory to Shar'ia law.

Answer 2

Looking at the question,I believe you did not know what Sharia is.

Sharia is part of Muslims and can not be separated because Islam is a way of life not only in spiritual sense.
Unless the particular Muslim choose to live like the non-Muslims,then sharia need not be implemented.

Again the scope of sharia may vary depending on conditions,but all Muslim communities and countries have been practicing it.

some ignorant non-Muslim may even think that local customs and taboo is also a Muslim sharia by virtue that it is practice by a Muslim.

Answer 3

Ahmed,

To play along, I would be willing to concede that there probably is not a country that practices TRUE sharia law, especially as defined by the most radical muslims. Even Mullah Omar in Afghanistan wanted things a little MORE Islamic there (if possible). They will never be satisfied until their literal interpretation of the Koran is implemented.

If you disagree with that statement, then why was the Taliban still enforcing Sharia Law in Afghanistan when we invaded? If Sharia Law had not been fully implemented and accepted by all, there would have been no reason for the public punishments in soccer stadiums.

Personally, I want no part of it. It's not "honorable", or "peaceful", or "just" or any other pretty adjective used to describe it.

Answer 4

Muslim countries all follow Islamic laws, and so does India, for the Muslims there.

Answer 5

It is too primitive to deal with the modern world. There are so many more crimes so much more of a problem in modern society than who covered her face or not. The countries that went to fundamentalism are the ones that had bad economies and in which the rule of law had collapsed because of government corruption. Concider the Pahlavi Shah of Iran with his death squads, Ethiopia, or Afghanistan. All destabilized societies with rampant corruption before revolutions that gave them back at least some semblance of law and order, even if it was a harsh and extreme form of law.

Answer 6

Muslim countries are still colonized by the west indirectly through dictator leaders implemented by force by the west when they withdraw from the Muslim world in what they call independence, but actually they are still under the worse ugly colonization.
No freedom, no democracy, and no human rights.
