Shari'ah: Phantom Heaven
-
In 1985, Muhammad Taha was executed on authority of Shari'ah court and Muslim Brotherhood. Taha was a reformist, although he had his blind spots, he was an exemplary figure who founded a Muslim movement in Sudan that stood for secularism instead of Shari'ah, preached for peace instead Jihad, promoted rights of women and minorities. Today, nothing is remembered of Taha, while war-mongers and violators of human rights like Ruhullah Khomeini, Saddam Husseini or Osama bin Ladin are fondly remembered in the Muslim world. Confirm
Educating and enlightening the masses with counter-ideas to the state religion whether by TV/Radio programs, lectures/seminars, newsletters or even internet articles is forbidden. Thus, minorities like Christians or Jews cannot preach or invite anyone to their faith, they cannot build new temples. There is no room for a Muslim to reaccess his faith and inquire for the truth because every information at his disposal has been censored by Shari'ah authorities who ban books and websites with alternate and counter ideas to the religion enforced by the state. In short, a Muslim under Shari'ah have no right to decide regarding his faith, the state decides and the Shari'ah authority enforces.
In fact, there are religious police in most Shari'ah compliant societies like Iran or Saudi Arabia to enforce Shari'ah, they roam about grounding and arresting for offenses like intermingling of men and women, women travelling without a male relative e.t.c. It doesn't matter whether a Muslim is disillusioned or unconvinced of the position of the State or Shari'ah authorities on a matter, he must comply or may be marked as an apostate to be ostracized or killed.

Don't also forget that Jews/Christians are levied in return for practising their religion under Shari'ah. They can only avert this levy by embracing Islam, otherwise they have to pay this levy to protect their lives and properties from the state. Other religious minorities like theists, polytheists, agnostics, atheists have only two choices; embrace Islam or death.
When you meet those advocating for Shari'ah, do not be brainwashed by their invoking of words like 'Justice, Peace, Rights, Freedom.' The law they are advocating is a very babaric, discriminatory, oppressive and misorgynist one that will regress mankind to medieval age.

Shari'ah is perhaps the most vivid tool by which Islamists or Islamofascists seek to segregate themselves from non-Muslims when they migrate to the West. Although many Muslims flee Shari'ah in the Middle East for a moderate, modern, free-minded, progressive society provided in the West, Islamists on delegation of the Muslim Brotherhood migrate to the West and apply for validation of Shari'ah and Shari'ah court to precede over civil matters in the Muslim community.
This has been the case in many Western countries. The more troubling issue is that we have non-Muslims, Westerners standing for validation of Shari'ah by invoking 'freedom for religious practices' for Muslims. This only shows the level of ignorance and naivety of Westerners regarding Shari'ah.
In cases, some Muslims have stood publicly for secular laws over Shari'ah. In states like Canada, this has suppressed proliferation of Shari'ah. Other states like UK are paying the price for not having moderate Muslims oppose Shari'ah for state laws.
The key difference between a moderate Muslim and a radical is their position on Shari'ah.

CIVIL MATTERS
As already stated, Shari'ah is an assault on one 's freedom of belief and choice. It robs the Muslim of his right to inquire, contemplate and decide on the truth, rendering him into a robot.
There is a lot beyond belief pertaining to civil matters under Shari'ah. The are voices from the left demanding Muslim minorities are granted autonomy to rule their community with Shari'ah. Except the Muslim community is completely separated from the rest of the state, this is not possible. Shari'ah cannot co-exist with a secular egalitarian national constitution for alternate reasons. Here is what i mean
-
Do you know that under Shari'ah;
-a non-Muslim 's testimony in court is worth less than that of a Muslim
-a non-Muslim or apostate is not entitled to
a share of inheritance from a Muslim relative.-an apostate loses costudy of his/her kids upon leaving Islam and his/her marriage is annulled if his/her spouse remain Muslim.
-a Muslim cannot be killed in justice for killing a non-Muslim.
-the testimony of a woman is generally half of a man 's, in the court.
-a woman have no right to divorce her husband. She may appeal to her husband or Shari'ah court to annull their marriage but in the end her fate depend on descretion of court or her hubby. If her appeal or request is granted, she is obligated to compensate her ex-husband with no less than her dowry.
On the other hand, a man may divorce his wife at anytime and he is not answerable to any one for his decision which the wife cannot object.-wife beating is condoned as a disciplinary measure by husbands.

Is this the law that sane, educated, righteous men will revere as divine and advocate for its implementation worldwide? It is a law aimed at cutting off any relationship or interaction between opposite genders by enforcing gender segregation right from the temples to the offices and down to even buses or taxis. A Saudi Arabian septuagenarian was sentenced to 40 lashes, 4 months imprisonment and deportation from the kingdom for admitting two unrelated men into her home in 2009; local media reported. Confirm
It is a misorgynist law that requires women to be secluded as much as possible in the home thereby justifying Saudi Arabia 's ban of female driving. This same law prohibit women from traveling without company of a male authority, hindering women 's mobility and barring them from mobile fields like aeronautics, journalism, politics e.t.c. A man is never answerable to his wife yet a woman cannot even fast without her husband 's permission under Shari'ah. Prepubscent girls as young as about 9 may be married off legally!
This is Shari'ah, the law that even feminists, non-Muslims and women are protesting for, behind placards and banners in the name of 'freedom of religion'.

CONCLUSION
Shari'ah isn't merely a law. It is a major component of Islamism, a more totalitarian, fascist and supremacist ideology or movement than even Nazism, Fascism or Communism.
If Shari'ah is so utopian, why is the ratio of non-Muslim immigrants in Shari'ah states to Muslim immigrants in secular states insignificant? It has barely much to offer.
Settling in the "infidels' domain" as a Muslim is frowned upon by clerics on authority of Shari'ah, yet more and more Muslims are migrating from Shari'ah compliant Somali or Pakistan to secular West. Any land ruled by a woman is considered cursed according to orthodox/mainstream Muslim ideology, yet we have orthodox Muslims among whom are Shari'ah advocates emigrating from Saudi Arabia, UAE to settle in a 'cursed' land like Britain ruled by a woman or Queen.
This concludes the second phase of my paper on Shari'ah. In the near future, the final phase will be published. Thank you for reading, and share the word.

I think there is problem with sharia and it is not fair. It is the same problem as with hadith anybody who employes de word puts in it whatever he or she fancies. There may be not two ccoincidental sharias. Then there are the sharia sufis adhere to which is nothing at all to do with civil or penal laws but rather the aproach to acquire closenes to God or at least feel so much so as possible.
And those that by sharia understand the application of a set of civil and penal laws, do not even agree on which laws are that, although it an be understood or it is understood that sharia is penal or civil laws as aberrant as possibly conceivable.
We should go back to what Qur'an calls sharia and avoid giving sanctifiation to sets of laws that are historical and civilisational aberrations.

There was a huge outcry in the Muslim world on learning the Chinese authorities enacted policies restricting observance of Ramadan in China.
However, very few in the Muslim world know that Shari'ah forbid open observance of any non-Islamic religious events like Christmas.
In compliance of Shari'ah, Brunei recently banned public sales or display of Christmas trees in her territory;

Nothing new.. it's human (group) ego.. the disease is quite common..
The objective is to shows / ensure superiority of my group over another group... my culture/tradition over another people's culture/tradition.
