The America They Envision

The potential implications of implementing Sharia law in America and contrasts it with the current American values.

• The concept of America governed by Sharia law, as envisioned by some groups, starkly contrasts with the principles of freedom and human rights in the current American society.

• Only a few countries, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan, fully implement Sharia and have documented poor human rights records.

• An example from a Pakistani jihadist group, Lashkar-e-Islam, outlines policies that reflect a strict interpretation of Sharia, including:

• Eradicating non-Islamic practices.

• Banning alcohol and gambling.

• Mandating modest dress for women.

• Forbidding women from visiting medical facilities without a male relative.

• Some of these practices have already appeared in Western societies, like grave orientations towards Mecca and initiatives promoting Sharia finance.

• Al-Azhar University outlines severe Islamic laws, including punishments for apostasy and prohibitions against music and women's freedoms.

• Despite these oppressive elements being acknowledged by Islamic law authorities, many in the West perceive Islam as a religion of peace, often ignoring the harsher realities.

• Groups in America are actively working to introduce strict interpretations and laws reflective of Sharia.

The article emphasizes a growing concern regarding the adoption of Sharia law and its potential to alter American societal values and human rights. Awareness of these issues is critical as discussions around religious laws and freedoms continue.
