Shariah law predates global capitalism, modern levels of regional instability, and the outpouring of migrants. In theory, a nation can practice Shariah law and be stable, while also retaining its population.

And yet it is affected by all of them, or rather, the spread of it is.
In theory. How’s that practice coming.

Seems like avoiding Shariah - or any religiously-centered law system, for that matter, but it's the only one with such strong influence today - is a requirement for any degree of lasting success.
