[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 185392, member: 35"] Auzer ji I may have missed your last sojourn at SPN because of my illness. So far this thread has been interesting (Too often in the past, when I have said that it has been the kiss of death. But let's keep our hopes up!). :grinningkaur: Sharia Law is a concept that would be a good one to explore. "Sharia Law" much like the idea of "freedom of religion" gets tossed about to mean many things according to the individual or group using it. For example, there are parts of Sudan where Sharia Law is not only religious but political even if the political use of Sharia Law was ended with the caliphate. In Saudi Arabia there is a kind of Sharia police that runs about checking on whether women are covered up enough. In Egypt Sharia Law is used to adjudicate civil questions, such as wills and trusts. The Napoleonic code is used for criminal cases. In parts of Nigeria it is used to stone women to death. In none of these examples do the people involved consider themselves extremists. Now let's turn it around. Maybe burqa has nothing to do with Sharia Law. I don't know. Nonetheless. In France the burqa has been banned for wear in public places because it supposedly infringes on the personal freedom of pious Muslim women even if they make an independent choice to wear it. There the tension is with fundamental values of France: liberty, equality, fraternity. Ironically, freedom of religious expression - to wear burqa - is curtailed in the name of liberty.
