Salfasts believe the ideaology of Islam is not practiced the way it should be. Salfists believe in order to keep Islam authentic, they must revert back to follow the original teachings. Salafists that believe in jihadism can be described as extremists or even, terrorists. These extremists are here for one goal, to create a free Islamic state. The problem is that they try to gain their power by inflicting fear and terror. Also, they believe this is the way God intended, so they push take themselves to great extremes and believe it is the right thing to do because they believe it is God’s plan.

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
