  1. Shariah (also spelled shari’ah or sharia or shari’a) is the Arabic word for “the road to the watering place.” In a religious context, it means “the righteous path.” Loosely, it can mean simply, “Islam.”
    There are six principles of shariah. They are derived from the Qur’an, which Muslims believe is the word of God. All Islamic religious rules must be in line with these six principles of shariah.
    Aha! The six principles must be about killing infidels, veiling women, stoning people for adultery, honour killings and female genital cutting, right? Nope.
    Here they are, the six principles of shariah:1. The right to the protection of life.
    2. The right to the protection of family.
    3. The right to the protection of education.
    4. The right to the protection of religion.
    5. The right to the protection of property (access to resources).
    6. The right to the protection of human dignity. Well, bless me, as a pledge-of-allegiance-reciting, California-raised Muslim girl, these six principles sound a lot like those espoused in my very own Constitution of the United States. Except that these were developed over a thousand years ago. This is the core of shariah — these six principles. The term “shariah law” is a misnomer, because shariah is not law, but a set of principles. To Muslims, it’s the general term for “the way of God.” But how do we know what the way of God is? Early Muslims looked to the Qur’an and the words of the Prophet Muhammad to figure this out.

    • re: Iftikhar;

      Lol. You definitely have a good sense of humor. I like that. I am sure you can tell by some of my posts that I most definitely have a sense of humor as well. Now, whether mine is “good” or not… I guess depends on the person observing.

      Well, I am happy to hear from you. I was actually concerned for you because I had not heard from you in at least a week. I do enjoy us communicating and I honestly learn something new every time you write. I have truly learned a lot this time. I had no idea you were a “girl” from California. Just kidding… I am well aware “Iftikhar” is a male given name. I believe it means “honor”.. in arabic. Or.. “glory”… maybe both.

      You did almost sound just like an American for a moment. It makes me think you very well may have spent some time here in the states. If not, you are always welcome to visit. I do not mean that like you need my permission to come here to the states. I meant that as.. If you would ever like to come, you are always welcome at my home. I would fully understand if you felt more comfortable at a Hotel because I often feel more comfortable at a Hotel… at least until I know someone. Although, I would enjoy showing you around to all of the sites. It is actually quite beautiful in the area I live. I reside in a valley between 2 mountains. The view is incredible.

      I really appreciate you taking the time to outline the 6 Principals of Shari’ah. I will now research them to gain more knowledge about them.

      Until the next time…

      Bless you my brother.

  2. Those Muslim youths who are involved in such activities are the product of British schooling which makes them mis-fit for their own community. They do not know where the belong. They are victim of Identity Crises. Muslim migrants are living in a society which is institutionally racist. Brits must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different. Children should be taught about living religions so that they could learn to respect and tolerate those who are in their schools or who live near their own homes. British schooling is the home of institutional racism and British teachers are chicken racist. This is one of the main reason why Muslim parents would like to send their children to Muslim schools. I set up the first Muslim school in 1981 in Stratford, London in 1981 and now there are 188 Muslim schools and only 12 are state funded. I would like to see each and every Muslim child in a state funded Muslim school. I hope my dream would come true one day.
