Who would really want Shariah Law? Non-Muslims won't follow Islam and Muslims tend to agree these laws...

Question

are usually just cultural, manmade, falsely interpreted, etc. So who is left? Why would anyone want such horrible laws enforced?

Answer 1

I prefer a secular state than any other states. Why? Here is my answer:

A secular state is a state or country that is officially neutral in matters of religion, neither supporting nor opposing any particular religious beliefs or practices. A secular state also treats all its citizens equally regardless of religion, and does not give preferential treatment for a citizen from a particular religion over other religions. Most often it has no state religion or equivalent. If there is a state religion, this should have only a symbolic meaning, not affecting the ordinary life of its citizens, and especially not making any distinctions based on someone's religion.

A secular state is defined as protecting freedom of religion as pursued in state secularism. It is also described to be a state that prevents religion from interfering with state affairs, and prevents religion from controlling government or exercising political power. Laws protect each individual including religious minorities from discrimination on the basis of religion.

A secular state is not an atheistic state (e.g. Albania under Enver Hoxha), in which the state officially opposes all religious beliefs and practices. In some secular states, there can be a huge majority religion in the population (e.g. Turkey) and in others there may be great religious diversity (e.g. India). Secular states become secular either upon establishment of the state (e.g. United States) or upon secularization of the state (e.g. France). Movements for laïcité in France and for the separation of church and state in the United States of America began the evolution of the present secular states. Historically, the process of secularizing states typically involves granting religious freedom, disestablishing state religions, stopping public funds to be used for a religion, freeing the legal system from religious control, opening up the education system, tolerating citizens who change religion, and allowing political leadership to come to power regardless of religious beliefs. Public holidays that were originally religious holidays and other traditions are not necessarily affected, and public institutions become safe from being used and abused by religion.

Answer 2

I would, and most Muslims would.

Now, when I say Shariah law, I don't mean that insane excuse for a government they've got going on in Afghanistand and Iraq and such. I mean Shariah Law as the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) implemented when he was alive.

Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together in peace, they were allowed their religious freedom - Muslims weren't forced to practice the religion, and in that scenario, Islam flourished. I don't see where people are getting off (and by this, I mean Muslims) calling the situation in the Middle-East, whether it be Libya or Iraq or Iran or Afghanistian or anywhere Shariah Law.

In real Shariah, every Muslim has the right to pursue education as far as they would wish and no one has the right to stop them, women can hold jobs and are held with the same esteem as men. What people call Shariah is not Shariah.

Shariah would be the perfect solution to the worlds problems - IF AND ONLY IF, implented properly, the way the Prophet (phuh) taught us.

Extremism holds no place in Islam.

Prophet Muhammad said, "Do not become disbelievers after my death by fighting and killing one another."

Pretty funny, huh? There's some food for thought.

Answer 3

First make the environment for Shariah Law - which I think is impossible at the moment, with too many people wanting to be the chief judge!!!

Answer 4

I have to admit that some of these answers scare the hell out of me. Especially Independence who mentions how great Shariah law is for Muslims. What about non-Muslims who don't believe in Muhammad, allah or islam? The Jews, Christians, pagans during Muhammad's time had to pay a tax to live in peace. They were (and still are) second class citizens. Muhammad broke treaties with them and ordered them to convert or die. This is what people want? No democracy? No freedom OF religion? No rights for women? Robots...they want us all to be robots. Not in MY secular, freedom-loving country. I'd fight it to the death!

God Bless.

Answer 5

When any religion requires a supportive government, it means that people are persecuted. And that's what we may see in all Muslim countries.

So no, I do not want Shariah Law, and I can hardly wait until it's completely forgotten in the world.

Answer 6

There are some misogynists who would like them although you shouldn't underestimate how much support fundamentalists can get from those they aren't oppressing yet (but wait a couple of decades and see how they think of Islamic law then).

Answer 7

Considering instituting Sharia law is madness -- it imposes many ridiculous, primitive, backwards ideals on people, and leads to hideous human rights abuses.

Answer 8

Pope John Paul II declared Islam a true religion and a Way to God.

I would assume there are many great Sharia laws that we would benefit from following.

Answer 9

dear , many relegios muslims still want it , including me , they are not horrible they are strict , but still most authoroties tend to bend the laws and regulataions of shariah

Answer 10

I would give anything to see Sharia effected world-wide. At last we all would have the opportunity to live up to our true potential. Muslims who disagree with Sharia law are sell-outs to the West, period. They put earthly delights in front of what Allah subha'ana wa ta'ala has commanded them. They have traded Jennah for this world.
