Is it an Islamic belief that all people should be put under Sharia law?

Question

Christians and Jews and so forth.

Further, if you care to get into it, what exactly does this entail? Is it necessarily like Mogedeshu were the "so called" peaceful militia made it law that everyone pray five times a day and so forth. Otherwise, I may not have had a problem with the militia in Mogedeshu, but they showed their bigotted colors with "death sentences" for those caught not praying (even if they never enforced it).

Don't just tell me I'm wrong...

Someone: you might just get 10 points for that.

sudonym x: You appear to be correct, as I see most Muslims live in various places with oppressive non-sharia legal systems.

Since no one answered both parts, I'll put it to a vote.

Answer 1

As a Muslim, it isn't an Islamic belief that all people should be put under the Sharia law. See, prayer isn't enforced on non-Muslims, yet, enforced on Muslims because it is one of the five pillars of Islam. It's a duty. In the same time, we don't enforce Hijab on non-Muslims but we ask people who are under that law to dress conservatively (you would be able to witness that in Saudi Arabia)
. See, the Sharia law is from God. Therefore Muslims should judge and use that law, not the laws the are "human- made".
Islam is known to be a simple, if you can say easy going religion

Answer 2

First of all, its not a belief, its a requirement. You aren't a muslim if you don't live by sharia and enforce the sharia. The only problem is what is sharia? We have scholars, imams, clerics, mullahs spending their whole lives interpreting the quran and the sunnah and yet, the sharia they came up with is as what you described, some more severe than others, ie Death Sentence for not praying only implemented in Somalia.

Answer 3

According to Islam, when a country is conquered by a Muslim ruler, its inhabitants are offered 3 alternatives:

1- the reception of Islam, in which case the conquered became enfranchised citizens of the Muslim state.

2- The payment of a Jizya (tax) by which unbelievers (Christians and Jews) obtain "protection" and become Dhimmis.

3 -death by the sword to those who would not pay the Jizya tax.

you choose:)

Answer 4

No, most Muslum countries don't have Sharia Law.

Answer 5

Sunni and Shi ites vary in it.

Some aspects I noted include:

The woman cannot marry without the consent of her guardian. If she marries, her husband becomes her new guardian.

A woman who wishes to be divorced needs the consent of her husband. If he consents she does not have to pay back the dowry.[citation needed]

A man who divorces a Post-adolescent or pre-menopausal women must wait three months before divorcing her to ensure that she is not pregnant.

In accordance with the Qur'an and several hadith, theft is punished by imprisonment or amputation of hands or feet, depending on the number of times it was committed and depending on the item of theft.

In accordance with hadith, stoning to death is the penalty for married men and women who commit adultery.[7] For unmarried men and women, the punishment prescribed in the Qur'an and hadith is 100 lashes.[8]

Adultery (fornication) is a crime and except in the case of rape, both man and woman are equally guilty. Thus it is said in Surah An-Noor (24th Chapter of the Quran): (24:2) "The woman and the man guilty of adultery, inflict on each of them one hundred lashes. Let not compassion move you in their case because it has been prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the life Hereafter (i.e. on the fact that since these are Allah's Commandments, their results are bound to appear forth) and let a party of the believers witness their punishment (so as to make sure that the punishment has been given according to Law)."

Some translations of the Qur'an call for the long-term or permanent house arrest of women guilty of adultery -- they are to be confined to "houses of death." An accurate translation is that their husband (or their parent or guardian) is to keep them -- not abandon them. Also, if they repent of their sin, God will accept their repentance. A woman can only be found guilty if four witnesses testify against her. Verse 21 seems to call for physical punishment for men who engage in same-sex activity, followed by their release if they abandon the practice. Verse 24:2 calls for a man or woman guilty of adultery or fornication to be flogged 100 times.

Homosexuality, moreover, is an abomination and a grave sin. In Hadith, Muhammad clarifies the gravity of this abomination by saying: "Allah curses the one who does the actions (homosexual practices) of the people of Lut," repeating it three times; saying in another Hadith: "If a man comes upon a man then they are both adulterers." Here, he considered homosexuality tantamount to adultery in relation to the Shari’ah punishments because it is an abomination on the one hand, and the definition of adultery applies to it on the other hand.....As for lesbians, Muhammad said about them: "If a woman comes upon a woman, they are both adulteresses." The homosexual receives the same punishment as an adulterer. This means, that if the homosexual is married, he/she is stoned to death, while if single, he/she is whipped 100 times.

Sharia does not allow freedom of speech on such matters as criticism of Muhammad. Such criticism is considered blasphemy against Muhammad.

Under Sharia law non-muslims are goverened by the laws of their own specific communities however it codifies the treatment of dhimmis (Arabic) and rayahs (Turkish) in relation to the Muslim state and in cases of over-lapping jurisdiction. Dhimmis are distinctly second-class citizens in that they cannot serve in public office, cannot testify in court and must follow certain rules meant for their humiliation (such as paying the jizya). The jizya or tax is enforced on those who broke a treaty or attacked Muslim with no right (as a punishment) or required from those who ask for protection without enrolling in the army. The rules include privilege to practice their own religion, except for public demonstration of non-muslim religious practices and the right to convert muslims (denied, but the reverse is allowed).

The religious police could stop Muslims who were engaging in Islamically illegal activities (i.e. drinking alcohol...). It would often be difficult to differentiate between Muslim and dhimmis, so the religious police sometimes had non-Muslims wear a distinctive color or identity marker so that they wouldn't be harassed by the religious police. Distinctive clothing had the additional effect of humiliating dhimmis and attracting abuse from passers-by. See yellow badge. (Not during Muhammad's life or any of the 4 rashidun caliphs after him).

In addition, Dhimmis are forbidden to build or repair churches or synagogues. Bells, crosses, sacred books and other public demonstrations of religion, including laments at funerals, are forbidden. For example, churches and ancient gurdwaras in present day Pakistan, have been preserved and the minorities live in sizeable numbers in the Guru-Nanak pura and Karachi.
