Punishment and Equality Under Sharia

1. Hadd crimes: Unlawful sexual intercourse, false accusation of unlawful sexual intercourse, wine drinking, theft, highway robbery

2. Criminal laws are the most controversial because Sharia law me be different from criminal law which can cause conflict

3. Vigilante justice are really extreme ways of gaining justice in the eyes of a westerner or progressivist. These include honour killings and retaliated murder.

4.Shia law is the old time traditions of Muslim that describe the consequences of unlawful actions. Secularism is the laws that are deemed suitable from the eyes of a westerner. The discussion in the article is whether or not these two opposing viewpoints can coexist.

5. Sharia law has been integrated into the political system into the dual legal system where Muslims can chose if they want to follow their rules of Sharia or the rules of secularism. Also, in countries were Islam is the official religion, sharia law is declared to the source of laws. Some countries declare to be completely secular however, sharia law still influences local customs.

6. In my opinion, sharia law as it is supposed to be can not coexist ,with democracy. The reason for this is because the two have two very different views. In order to make it work, both would have to compromise and at that point I don't think it can be considered Sharia Law and/ or democracy anymore.

7. Sharia has a large impact on modern economics, esoecially in the banking industry. Sharia law impacts who and what you can get loans for

Objective 1.3

Paper 2

To what extent do rules on dress reflect or inform communal identity?

The rules on dress is a key indicator of that community’s identity. In regards to Muslim woman, there is a large variety on the strictness of their modesty. Some communities are very strict and a full body covering is the social normality of that community. In less traditional communities only a Hijab is worn; and lastly in more modern communities no coverings are worn at all. From the words of a progressive American Muslim women, “She says that Islam teaches modesty — but wearing the Hijab is taking it a step too far.” These many different views really mix up the views of that community. For that reason, based on the style of dress, it can easily be seen the ideals of that community.

            Rules on dress are not limited to just Muslims. All communities reflect their views based on their style of dress. Quite simply, you can assume a general age range of someone and what community they associate with based on their style of dress. For example, a nine year old will dress much differently from a twenty-one year old. Also, clothing is a clear indicator because it is very identifiable, and it has clear borders. What I mean by this is that once you leave that community, the style of dress changes. Because there is so much variety in style of clothing it is a great indicator of that community’s identity.   

Objective 1.2

“She says that Islam teaches modesty — but wearing the hijab is taking it a step too far.

"I've done my research, and I don't feel its foundation is from Islam," she says. "I think it comes from Arab culture."”
