The ‘judge’ in the Nigerian Sharia court even condemned the reporter for not wearing a headscarf and for shaking the hand of another man.
The judge, himself a very devout Muslim, would certainly have disagreed if you accused him of not upholding the “purest of Islamic law”. Every ruling he made was with reference to and in accordance with the rules stipulated by the Quran.
It’s easy to say such things when you happen to live in a society whose laws are not governed entirely by religious doctrine isn’t it? |
Draco if we begin to take individual stories and bring them here we will not finish, Islam is religion for the benefit of majority of humans, actually it make balance between personal freedom and majority protection!
By the way there is Hijab also for men, it is not only for women!
fact is that those who talk about freedom and especialy freedom of women they dont have what they talk about!
And bringing examples of Poor countries like Nigeria or Afganistan that is faught since in apeard and economicaly faught and surrounded by the whole world is not fair!
May Allah (swt) guide us all!
