transition? · **Islamic States Vs. Muslim Countries -** 10-15-2008

I was recently reading the distinction of an Islamic country and a Muslim country.

Islamic country is one that adheres to only Sharia Law
while a
Muslim country is one that has a majority of Muslims, but does not strictly adhere to Islamic law and is most likely to have a mix of different law, incorporating some Islamic law.

One person made a point that there are no Islamic countries anymore, only Muslim countries.

I was wondering about Saudi Arabia. Is it not an Islamic country?
