Sharia law in your nation

Postby Allrule » Fri Nov 11, 2011 9:42 pm

Is Sharia law implemented in your nation? If so, at what level is it implemented?

Sharia is not implemented in any way here. Individual Muslims may voluntarily follow its codes if they so wish.

Of course not. Not only is Islam not very prominent here (limited only to the Humans) but it's also unconstitutional to establish any religious-based law of any sort on any level of governance.

Despite a sizable minority of our population are Muslims, Shariah Law, as with any other religious laws in Valcluse, are banned. Few Muslims still practice these laws inside Valcluse and it has become common for conservative families to be on the "fringes" of society.

Floridian law states that all religious practices must adhere to secular law. Hence any form of Sharia that our small Islamic population may practice among themselves is only legal if it does not violate Floridian law, and even legal Sharia is not recognized in any court here.

In Tulameen, it is a bijurdicial republic reforming in two types of law: Civil Law (France) and Common Law (GB).

A moderate percentage of the population is Turkish-Syrian (37%) although most forms of Sharia are rejected and are in favor of a separate law or is allowing Bijuridical law to be supplemented in their area. Although they have their Liberty of Religion and respect their havenic God.

Sharia is recognized in the Border Region Zone (BRZ) bordering Turkiya by the Tulameenian Courts Association, as it's the only region not to reject Sharia law naming itself Trijurdicial.

Sharia was once the major law before the Colonization of Tulameen and was the primary law until 1873, replaced by Civil Law and amalgamated with Common Law to create the Tulameenian Law Association in 1896, still to provide the necessary Liberties to those who want and deserve it.

it exists in several smaller towns and varies in strength from region to region. we have a majority muslim population. it exists as a compromise, whilst no region can enforce it, agreements to allow disputes and legal matters to be settled by religious authorities exist. its one of the more devisive issues the uk in exile faces.

The legal system in Skibereen is exttremely complex.
The confederation has an adopted constitution and each of the three Republics also have some measure of federal governance, which includes legislation.

However the day to day living in Skibereen is governed by customary laws(known as : Blood Laws, or Blood Obligations) this intricate system of personal obligations, expectation, courtesies and honor code are viewed by the general populace to supersede any federal law constructed by politicians.

Blood Law is based on a core concept of knowing the obligation of society, thus one who does not know of an obligation can not be held accountable if they fail to meet it.

The Muslim communities that long historical standing in Skibereen are not viewed as being exempt from the Blood Laws regardless of what their religion may prescribe. This however is generally not problematic as Blood Laws and Sharia are not often in conflict, when they are in conflict Sharia has no weight against the Blood.

The liberal Islamic communities in Skibereen tend to have little problems with these expectations as most communities arrived in Skibereen seeking refuge from cultural oppression anyway. Cloistered communities of Muslims may mutually agree to practice Sharia ahead of Blood Laws, but with regards to any interaction with the society outside of their cloistered community OR with regards to someone in the community seeking arbitration from outside, the Blood laws again carry more weight.

No actual legislation exists prohibiting Sharia, though some politicians have attempted to modernize legalism in Skibereen by attempting to sway people from the Blood Laws, this is met with measure as simple as legislated laws being ignored to the violent deposing of said politician.
