No part of the Federal Republic officially uses Sharia Law, and in some places there are laws being considered which would officially ban it.

Nationally, if a person wishes to live by some religious code, then they are welcome to do so just so long as they realize it does not permit them to break the law, and realize that, if a moment ever arrives when the religious code and civic law conflict, the law wins.

There's really a difference in RPing a bad nation, and RPing a nation badly.

I'm not actually a racist. That's just how I play the nation. Leave me alone if it bothers you that much.

If something I have posted offends you, step back, take a deep breath, and ask yourself: Does he care? If it really offends you, drop me a line. I'm always up for a civil conversation.

Religion is banned here, and is punishable by death by torture.

For most of our laws, it's pretty much an eye for an eye, but we hate things like religion alot more.

Again, there's no sharia in Nihonica becuase our constitution mandates that the country's entire legal system must be secular.

Voluntary Shari'ah courts are permitted to handle family law cases in some jurisdictions, within the confines of Kiravian civic law. They are used by our Muslim minority, who are mainly Indo-Tatartystani and Ghassani immigrants.

Of course we don't have Shariah law. In fact, Islam is banned throughout the Imperium and Muslims are sent to death camps.

Not implemented. The state is secular by constitution so it would be illegal to introduce Sharia.

Implementing Sharia law would go against the constitution as it would violate freedom of religion and separation of church and state.

However, Muslims account for around 8% of the Iglesian population.

A tiny minority of the Iglesian population, most of them Islamic fundamentalists, are proponents of the implemention of the Sharia law in Iglesiantis.

To be perfectly honest, those who attempted to gather support for sharia or any sort of religious law would be jailed at the very least, and possibly quietly executed.

Sharia is not implemented, or even considered, because there are hardly any muslims here.

Muslims being a second majority faiths in the Empire. Sharia Law is permitted to the reasonable degree and in line with the Imperial Law. Voluntary Shari'ah courts are also permitted to handle family law cases in some jurisdictions, within the confines of Minrozian civic law. Some of our muslim vassals practice full but fair versions of sharia law.

Sharia Law is banded by our highest law (the constitution). Any group that is found to be practicing it is liable to imprisonment (and if you are a new imigrant without citizenship you are liable to deportation) for a period of no less than 5 years for your first offence! Individual have the freedome to follow the tenaments and teachings of which ever religion they follow. But our high court and parliment have deamed that Sharia Law is not a tenament of the Muslim faith.

Bismillah hirrahman nirrahim,
Assalaam Alaikum,

Muslims are welcome to individually follow their religion, within the boundaries of secular law. This right is not exclusive to them.

However, being in favour of Shariah law is an incorrect political opinion. Those poor fools who suffer from such delusions will be corrected by the State; as will those who advocate alternative, yet equally ludicrous proposals for any kind of theocracy; as will those of no religion, who seek state imposed atheism.

If they cannot be corrected, they will be garroted.

Wassalaam Alaikum.

Are you kidding me?
Sharia Law is not justice, in any way.
In any case, Chenabaté is not a 7th century nation.

If i wanted barbarism, i would just abolish the government. it would be less harsh.
If i wanted to abolish women's rights, i would just revert to the Ancient Greek System. it would be less harsh.
if i wanted tribal, brutal violence, i would just import some witch-doctors from the congo. it would be less harsh.
If i wanted to destroy liberty, equality and fraternity completely and utterly...then yes i would import 50 million muslim immigrants and set up sharia law.

every islamic country today with sharia law is a paradise isn't it?
and yes, if you didn't guess, Iran 1979 makes me sick.
seriously, if you 'don't have a problem' with it, have you damn well seen the f**ked up atrocity videos?

I have no problem with Islam as a religion.
I have a problem with Islam as an ideology.

Parts of Sharia law have been enacted in Jerusalem and Damascus, but centuries of intolerance against the Muslim community has actually made it much more lax -- the Muslims within J&D, while still very observant, are probably the more religiously liberal of the two major religious groups within the UKJD and as such most "discriminatory practices" have been removed.
