Islam In Your Nation

Postby South Indies » Tue May 11, 2010 10:28 am

What percent of your nation's population are muslims? Are they immigrants or natives?

Does your nation have Sharia Law?

About 0.5% of the population of the South Indies are muslims. These are mostly native Normandeans who have converted to Islam. Some aspects of Sharia Law apply in certain quarters where muslims have been allowed to vote to introduce their own laws.

Islam, as a religion inspired by Satan, has been completely suppressed in the Empire and any individual who is found to be a practicing Muslim will be sent to the Inquisition where they will face cleansing torture and ultimately death at the stake.
We are the Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans. Surrender or be destroyed. Your civilization has ended, your time is over. Your people will be assimilated into our Empire. Your technological distinctiveness shall be added to our own. Your culture shall be supplanted by our own. And your lands will be made into our lands.

"For five thousand years has our Empire endured. In war and peace we have thrived. Against overwhelming odds we evolved. No matter what we face we have always survived and grown. We shall always be triumphant." -Emperor Godfrey II

Most recent estimates put the Muslim population at some 7,150,000, or 0.063%. All of them are foreign-born immigrants, or children of foreign-born parents, but are native born by right of being born on Maraquean soil.

Sharia Law - or any law based on any kind of religious doctrine - is unconstitutional. All laws must have secular reasoning. Freedom of religion is in our Bill of Rights, and individuals may choose to live by their religious teachings, but law can not be influenced by it in any way, shape, or form.

Roughly eight million people in the United States of Gregaria currently identify themselves as Muslims.

Roughly 75% of these, or six million, are first-generation immigrants, with the rest being the descendants of immigrants, or converts.

Due to restrictions in the Constitution, it is not legally possible to install Sharia Law as the Supreme Law of the United States, as it is based upon a religious creed.
It's just Gregaria...

Islam is quite a major religion in the Chrisman Union, especially in the state of Rachanistan (a prominent member of the Chrisman Union). As a whole, around 9% of the population are muslim, and around 87% in Rachanistan. No state in the Union follows Sharia law.

Around 8% of the population is Muslim, the third-largest faith in the country. In spite of several hundred thousand signatures on a petition, His Majesty's Government in Right of the Most Serene Kingdom of Astralsideria has repeatedly said that Sharia law will never be implemented in the Most Serene Kingdom.

Most recent demographics (in 2006) shows that the population of people practicing Islam is 0.1% of total population. When compared to demographics of 2001 when it was 1%, we can see that the population who practice Islam is decreasing by 0.99% each 5 year. By seeing this demographics we assume that the Islam is currently non-existent in Great Nepal, although there has not been a census.

There are exactly 389 Moslems in Neo Prutenia. All of them are foreign expats, immigrants or exchange students. Tourists are not counted into this number, which would boost it up to 2.100 Moslems. There is only one Mosque in Neo Prutenia, located in Mainz. Neo Prutenia is very strictly opposed to the Sharia, although our own Basic Law is very similar to some elements of the Sharia, namely those more liberal, humane and community oriented parts.

Islam by itself, as well as Moslems are not seen as enemies, or opponents. There are great similarities between Prut social and cultural norms and traditions and the Pillars of Islam, the Ummah and even Jihad. But it is exactly because of these similarities that the Prut Culture and Civilization cannot get along with Islamic Culture and Civilization, and with added historic, political, religious and ethical reasons, those two ideologies simply cannot coexist in peace. As of now we have satisfactory relations with islamic societies, and tolerate each other quite well.

As far as we know, there has never been a Prut convert to Islam and vice versa. The only real contact with Islam and Islamic countries was during the 11th and 12th century, during the Crusades, again during the 16th and 17th century in clashes with the advancing Turks and in the late 19th century, which were collaborations with native muslim against their colonial overlords, during wars with the Colonial power in question. Today, besides tourism, there is no real contact with Islamic societies at all.

32.2 % of the citizens of Andorianus havare muslim, and it is our third most important religion here. (With Buddhism and Atheism on first and second place, and Christianity on fourth place.) This is becuase Andorianus is a very young nation brought together by refugees from all nations over the world, but especially from third and second world countries.

Andorianus has no Sharia-based laws for two reasons: First, the goverment does not support any religion (not even Atheism) so that all religions would be equal, and no one would be discriminated for not following a major religion. Aecond, Andorianus has a social-libertarian ideology, and all laws must be made to improve everyone's life, not just that of a certain group. And third, all laws must have a clear benefit to individual and society. So chopping a thiefs hand of because he stole a wallet does not has a clear benefit, he could just steal another wallet with his other hand. Andorianus is against those rules.
From the people, the government, and the community of Andorianus.

After Christianity, Islam is the most popular religion, practised by about 18% of Mid Lothianers. And, before you ask, Sharia Law is banned (and has been since 1993).
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.
