Re: Sharia Law in NWFP
^True possibly..
But some may argue that The Muslim nations and ahl Sunnah are going that way because there's no Sharia in place. How will you argue that?
It isn't as simple as that. Muslim society prospered because the shariat in place back then matched the times. Shariat of 1400 or even a 1000 years ago will hinder progression for a muslim society in 2008! That much should be obvious. Laws and society in general must be redefined to match the times we are living in. The internet, cellular phones and space travel were never dreamt of before and don't have clear definitions in terms of Halaal/Haraam in Islam for example.
What I am saying I suppose is, that muslims aren't being held back because of not following Islam...I think they are being held back because they are trying to follow ancient ways of following islam as opposed to a more modern way of following it.
