What data tells us about Sharia law & personal freedom in Islamic nations

Data points to a moderate negative relationship between preference for Sharia and the freedom an individual enjoys in Islamic nations. Most Muslim majority nations also account for more than half of the world's authoritarian regimes. Nikhil Rampal explains how, in this video.

"If the Muslims in Middle-East had the choice between two states, secular or religious, they would vote for the religious and flee to the secular."
- Ali Al-Wardi (Iraqi sociologist)

You can't Reform Islam, Islam will Reform You 😂😂

Edit: Embrace Islam if you want to live in 700 CE

Any body who supports Uniform Civil Code is communal any body supports Sharia law is secular 🤦. #OnlyInIndia

[hrishikeshbhuyan]

Shariah law in its purest form isn't followed in any recognised Muslim nation, because of the global minimum standards of human rights a nation is expected to uphold.

Tajikistan banned burkha but went strong on countries like France on burkha Ban.
Can anyone explain this act.

TLDR it's obvious that Sharia and personal freedom don't go hand in hand.

[kanthavelkv]

Sharia was intended to be "one size, fits and regardless of the changing times, circumstances & necessities of subsequent societies down the centuries.
If there's no scope of evolution or change and transformation in sync with the changing times, nothing will survive.
Evolution will make humanity understand this.
Till such time people learn to change & evolve.... other people embracing change will go on & progress in all aspects.
Those who don't want to change, evolve, transform & upgrade will be left behind in many ways - it's as simple as that

Law laid by almighty.... Such an outdated thought. Religion should be relegated to people's homes. Not in the legal sphere.

When u r in majority u will impose ur own personel laws

[ibreddy]

Modernizing and reforming laws as per present era is need of the hour.

[himangshunathghy]

Religion is just an excuse...
Left and Right ideology doesn't
Business and Power is the key...

[soumyadipsarkar]

Who'd have thought religion would make such a comeback in the 21 st century

I don't understand why even we are talking and discuss about this stone age law. Don't normalize this stone age things talking in media.

Thank you for addressing in a nocr and detailed manner. I am an Indian Muslim, and there is a way to think critically and reform the interpretation. That will be best possible approach, which will balance left wing and right wing of muslim countries. This is why i like The print, because it does journalism not like Godi media 🙂. Jai Hind.

The fear in the presenter is palpable, repeatedly having to ensure to the audience that he is quoting not giving an opinion.

[sweetalison]

Look over 90% Afghans wanted Shariah state. Their country their business.
I just dont want my country (India) to be under Sharia. That's it.

Islam give equal writes to women, most feminist religion in the world - Accordingly to some islamic feminist women and moderate muslims.
