Majority of Muslims in South Asian nations want a Sharia law: PEW Study

I don't know about Sharia but a Muslim army is to defend itself and free humanity (humans) of any form of slavery, oppression and exploitation.

While data for India is not provided, 99 per cent of Afghanistan, 84 per cent of Pakistan and 82 per cent of Bangladesh believes that their nations should have a Sharia law

Data provided by PEW, a US-based research centre suggests that South Asian nations are for the Sharia law. The law, which is the religious law forming part of Islamic tradition, is derived from the Quran – the religious text of the Muslims. India, which has the third largest Muslim population in the world, however, was not taken into consideration during the survey.

In Pakistan, in addition to the support to the Sharia law, there is also the Blasphemy Law, which has seen the assassination of several prominent leaders even before their trial is over. The law provides penalties ranging from fines to death by hanging. In 2011, Salmaan Taseer, the Punjab governor was murdered by his bodyguard, Mumtaz Qadri, for supporting a Christian woman, Asia Bibi, who was charged with allegedly desecrating Islam's holy book, the Quran. Qadri was convicted and sentenced in late 2011, and hanged in February 2016. But he is viewed as a hero by many people who thought Taseer was a blasphemer.

Bangladesh, too, has had a number of liberal bloggers being killed by locals, who have believed that their posts were ‘anti-Islam’. According to a report by the BBC that digs deep into Sharia law, says that ‘even though the death penalty is allowed, forgiveness is preferable. Forgiveness, together with peace, is a predominant Quranic theme.’

India and the Sharia law
Interestingly, there was no data about India regarding that law. However, information suggests that India has had a long-standing debate over the law. Last year, the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board claimed that women feel more secure under the law, while a Muslim Women’s Group called Muslim Women’s Quest for Equality demanded a complete ban on sharia courts over the triple talaq issue, which is still being debated in India.

In 2014, the Supreme Court said that Islamic judges, who interpret religious law, could only rule when individuals submitted voluntarily to them and their decisions, or fatwas, were not legally binding.

The Shariat Application Act that was passed in 1937 with the aim to formulate the Islamic Law Code for Indian Muslims. The act mandates aspects of Muslim social life such as marriage, divorce, inheritance and family relations. The Act lays out that in matters of personal dispute the State shall not interfere.




Most Muslims against ISIS: Survey
The PEW report also said that most Muslims from the countries they surveyed were against the Islamic State (ISIS). The nations questioned in the survey are Muslim-majority nations that aren’t around the Middle East and include Lebanon, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Senegal. Of these nations, Lebanon said they were 100 per cent against ISIS, while 64 per cent of people in Pakistan said they did not have an opinion about the organisation.



“In many cases, people in countries with large Muslim populations are as concerned as Western nations about the threat of Islamic extremism, and have become increasingly concerned in recent years. About two-thirds of people in Nigeria (68 per cent) and Lebanon (67 per cent) said in 2016 that they are very concerned about Islamic extremism in their country, both up significantly since 2013.

More generally, Muslims mostly say that suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam are rarely or never justified, including 92 per cent in Indonesia and 91 per cent in Iraq. In the United States, a 2011 survey found that 86 per cent of American Muslims say such tactics are rarely or never justified. An additional 7 per cent say suicide bombings are sometimes justified and 1 per cent says they are often justified.

Warmth towards Muslims by US
During his presidential campaign, US President Donald Trump highlighted the dangers of ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’ – something his National Security Advisor has said is an incorrect term by saying that ‘terrorism is un-Islamic.” Over this period, and even during the time of President Barack Obama,

Democrats and those who lean toward the Democratic Party express somewhat warm feelings toward Muslims, giving them an average rating of 56 on the feeling thermometer, up from 47 in 2014. Republicans and those who lean Republican, meanwhile, rate Muslims at a much cooler 39 degrees, though this is up 6 degrees from 2014.

Is there any caste based survey on Muslims like what aslaf,azlaf or azral are thinking about sharia.I think most of azral Muslims don't like sharia.
 
Isn't religion is one personal matter, why do you require religion to define daily activities.?
 
hindu indians here on pdf know more about sharia than a Muslim.
they are more expert than a Islamic scholar.we should ask them about sharia and Islamic laws.
 
Sharia law is best possible law ever made for the human beings.

Where ever it is imposed crime rate falls to negligible

Economic growth becomes overwhelming

Even the minorities get 100% protection and rights including their worship places.

Justice becomes 100% and fast then and there.

Education and medical facilities are the responsibility of state and free and equal. No body should die of hunger and because of medical facilities.

Only Islamic tex is zokat and sadqat all other texes are cruelty.

Islam was 1st to give 100% equal rights to women and gives protection and surety.

WHAT ELSE ANY HUMAN CAN EXPECT

These are the principles of pure gold by which muslims govern the world so successfully in past. Again that jubilant time is coming very soon.

they should ask further questions with specifics.. e.g. do they want hands to be chopped off for stealing... and compare it with non-muslim population of same geography.. the response will be nearly similar

Dear you are totally barren of very long most glorious history of The Great Islam from Hazrat umar ra the great times to glorious Mughal empire
Many many renound names of Sallah u Deen Ayobie, Otaman empire
There are thousand and one name, every name has its own Hype and dignity, just click the name, even on google and finds dozens of links.

I can't do anything of one, illiterate of Islamic glory, and i am not bound to make you believe.

You are free to have your own way of believing the facts. Although facts are undeniable and gonna repeat once again. If someone wanna stop it, try your best.
 
India is a still Hindu Majority country so Sharia is not possible. Pakistan is an Islamic state so it can make laws in line with sharia. BD is a secular country but a Muslim majority country. If majority of the people want sharia than it will become a Islamic country with Sharia law.
 
What was the question to whom and where? Since all that information is missing this is survey nothing more than a propaganda
