Why has Nigeria adopted Sharia Law?

Answer 1

An Islamic court in Nigeria yesterday upheld a sentence of death by stoning for a woman accused of adultery. The case is the latest in a series of sentences passed under sharia law - a set of religious laws adopted over the past two years in northern regions of Nigeria, which have predominantly Muslim inhabitants.

Sharia law, which derives from the teachings of the Koran and from Sunna (the practice of the prophet Mohammed), is implemented to varying degrees in different Islamic countries - from the beheadings of Saudi Arabia, to the relatively liberal social mores of Malaysia.

Answer 2

Many nations throughout South-East Asia and Africa have had thousands of immigrants from Islamic countries, with a single goal:

Get a majority, vote Islamic candidates into office, dissolve the government, adopt Sharia law.

It works. It worked for years before Osama ruined it all and pushed for conquest by the sword. It worked because freedom-loving countries like ours couldn't ethically do anything about it (well, not much).

It's worked repeatedly. Do some research on other countries throughout those areas and when they fell and who was immigrating into their country.

When Osama started pushing, he was kicked out of Saudi Arabia. They understood the dangers of using force to achieve Islam's goals of conversion of the world to Islam.

Osama wouldn't listen, and he awoke the sleeping giant.
Most of Islam is trying to get us to go back to sleep.

What a more peaceful means of conquest can you imagine? Violence only when you have no other way, a few specific assassination (look at the death rate of the Saudi Royal Family and who killed them), and you have a new country that outlaws the open practice of other religions.

Isolationism is such a comforting word.

Answer 3

The money for socialistic purposes will come from zakat (2.5 pct of accumulated wealth, not on income, so the richer/wealthier u get such as from investment the more zakat u will pay) Besides many muslims would feel compelled to give to charity more than the zakat requirement, in case they 'underpay' their zakat. This is called sadaqah. If u really make calculation, 2.5 pct of accumulated wealth on top of 2.5 pct of profession zakat (if u work) can be quite much. The beauty is if u have very little, u pay much less than the billionaire next door, althogh the rate will likely stay the same (in proportion to wealth) Now i think that is fairer than the structure in the US that in effect the rich pay less tax rate than the middle class working family
