Sharia Law, what is it and who practices it?

[Alla Prima]

it's culture, it's traditions. that has nothing to do with islam. the quran is islam. so if the quran said so, then it is islam.

Then Muslim women have no business being upset when asked to remove their burka. Hadith not Islam? This is a new one on me.

I hope you DO realize 'burka' is indeed a cultural custom and not a religious.

whats a BURKA?

the hadith and sunnah are islam, is there something you would like to say about that?

 

[Alla Prima]

whats a BURKA?

The covering that Muslim women sometimes wear.

No. I thought your comment implied only the Koran was Islam.

Culture is part of Islam. Muhammad stated how women were to dress.

 

[Gharib]

The covering that Muslim women sometimes wear.

the Hijjab? yes women do wear that, it is to distinguish muslim women from other women, just as men wear the hat.
or just as indinas are distinguishable from the rest of the people due to their way of clothing.

No. I thought your comment implied only the Koran was Islam.

yes that right, it is not the taliban or alqaeda. thats to what i was reffering that post.

 

[ProudMuslim]

Culture is part of Islam. Muhammad stated how women were to dress.

Nope, culture is not part of Islam. And Islamic dress code is specified in the Qur'an. Once again, 'burka' is not based on religion but tradition.

Just for your information 'burka' is face veil, while 'hijab' is scarf and that is Islamic.

No. I thought your comment implied only the Koran was Islam.

Of course Qur'an is the prime source of Islam, it mentions every command, prohibition and lawful acts. Sunnah and Hadiths are means to illustrate those commandments and give an exmaple how to live you life as a Muslim. No command is brought in from any other resource but from the Qur'an. In a business context while one is the policies, the other is the procedures. The procedures should not add or deduct anything from the Policies.

Do you understand now?

yes i do, thank you.

 

[ProudMuslim]

yes i do, thank you.

Thank you Eslam, actually i was referring to Alla Prima who is "beating a dead horse".

 

[Rakhel]

burka

Hajib.


If I am correct

 

[Gharib]

o so thats what they are, well the burka is just an extra thing, it is not haram nor is it mandatory, it's compulsery, they can wear it if they want but they don't have if they don't want to.

thanks rakhel for that.

 

[Gharib]

Thank you Eslam, actually i was referring to Alla Prima who is "beating a dead horse".

well that explanation was very good, i didn't know it that way, so thats why i replied.

 

[Kodanshi]

It’s actually called a hijâb, not a hajib. It sounds like a minor thing, but it’s like pronouncing the word ‘fisherman’ as ‘fashermin’.

 

[England my lionheart]

i've misswitten that last statement of mine, instead of saying that a smart muslim will question something out of the ordinary or that does't make sense, i've said that a less smart muslim will ask about it.

that was wrong. those who have no knowledge of islam (low educated muslims) will accept just about anything that comes from an imam. so it is their fault for not studying.

OK, so some are at fault for not studying,however what excuse is there for Muslims who do study,it's all down to interpretation,Hamas and the Al Aqsa Brigades for example will quite happily send a suicide bomber to kill some Israeli civilians and the bomber will become a Martyr,as Proud Muslim has said,this is un Islamic as even in war you should not target civilians.
Thats their interpretation and many Muslims condemn these acts and the are others like Sajdah who don't because they are his Brother Muslims and thats the problem,interpretation,for a book that is the one true religion nobody really knows what the true bits are.

This all reminds me of "The life of Brian",for those of you not fammiliar with this Movie it's about a Man who gets mistaken for Jesus and people follow him everywhere and at one point he loses one sandal so all of them take one sandal off,it is this kind of faith that is apparent IMO in Islam.

A comment from Maryam Namazie http://www.maryamnamazie.com/

Hello

Since our last email, we have been busy organising an International
Coalition for Women's Rights, to which a number of well-known personalities
and organisations have signed up.

As you know, on April 19, 2009, the Somali parliament unanimously endorsed
the introduction of Sharia law across the country. A few days earlier, the
imposition of Sharia law in Pakistan's northwestern Swat region was
approved. Last month, a sweeping law approved by the Afghan parliament and
signed by President Hamid Karzai required Shi'a women to seek their
husband's permission to leave home, and to submit to their sexual demands.
Because of international and national protests the new law is now being
reviewed but only to check its compatibility with Sharia law.

The imposition of Sharia law in the legal codes of Somalia, Pakistan and
Afghanistan brings millions more under the yoke of political Islam.

Local and international pressure and opposition are the only ways to stop
the rise of this regressive movement and defend women's universal rights and
secularism.

From Iran and Iraq to Britain and Canada, Sharia law is being opposed by a
vast majority who choose 21st century universal values over medievalism.
Join us in supporting this international struggle and calling for:

* the abolition of discriminatory and Sharia laws
* an end to sexual apartheid
* secularism and the separation of religion from the state
* equality between women and men

Nope, culture is not part of Islam. And Islamic dress code is specified in the Qur'an.

A dress code IS culture. How one dresses - how one is told to dress IS culture. Being told which way to face while sitting on the toilet IS culture. It's the very creation of culture and Muhammad is the creator.

yes thats your view, you should have stated that, you are getting others confused.
