	Sharia is a body of religious law that form an [[Islam\|Islamic]] tradition based on scriptures of Islam, particularly the Quran and hadith. It refers to immutable, intangible divine law.		== Shariah Law==

			Sharia is said to be a body of ''religious law'' that form an [[Islam\|Islamic]] tradition based on scriptures of Islam, particularly the Quran and hadith. It supposedly refers to immutable, intangible divine law.

			It claims to act as a code for living that all Muslims must adhere to, including prayers, fasting, and donations to the poor, etc. It has been stated that it aims to help Muslims understand how they should lead every aspect of their lives according to God's wishes.

			=== The Path ===

			Sharia (Arabic: sharīʿah, often spelled Shariah) means “the path” or “the path to the watering place.” What was first known as Christianity was also called [[The way\|The Way]].

			If Shariah means ''[[Pathopolitics\|the path]]'' and Christianity was called [[the way]] are they compatible, divergent, or even opposites?

			In Islam it refers to the body of religious, moral, and legal guidance that Muslims believe God revealed to regulate belief, worship, personal conduct, family life, commerce, and—in some interpretations—public law and governance of a nation.

			Civil law is usually based on written codes that grew out of Roman law. But it can refer to private-law of any system that deals with disputes between individuals rather than Criminal law of a state.

			While, some will say Sharia law does not belong to the civil-law family, it can supply rules for civil (private) disputes and can be allowed to sit alongside other civil-law codes and even supercede them. It is simpley not considered a "species of civil law".


			For this reason "Legal Systems" of law such as civil law, common law, religious or ecclesiastical law, customary law, and other mixed systems maybe considered distinct from the unique category known as Islamic law, such as Shariah Law.

			Its primary sources as the Quran and Sunnah, as interpreted through clerics who claim it has a divine-origin therefore claims it is supreme to man made laws.

			So, it is clearly not simply "religious" even though it includes "ritual, ethical, and conscience-based rules, but it also serves as both criminal and private law.

			Sharia’s scope is therefore wider than typical Western civil or criminal codes and does not advocate equal application of the law or justice to all.

			It does claim to address the relationships with God, neighbors, the state, and even one’s own conscience, covering worship, family, contracts, inheritance, and certain criminal penalties or the lack of them for known crimes in the world such as false oaths, robbery, or rape, even murder.

			This inequality of penalties and the application of Shariah law seems to conflict with many previous principles of law.

			* 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

			It should be very clear that those who follow the command to terrorize the unbeliever do not follow the God of the prophets of Abraham, Moses, or Jesus as recorder in the Book, aka The Bible.

			Therefore no one who believe in the way expressed in the Book should be yoked with those who advocate Shariah Law.

	The term demiurge entered the English language in the 1600's through that Latin ''demiurgus''.

			[[Exodus 22]]:28 '''Thou shalt''' not<[[לֹ03808\|לֹ֣א]]> '''revile''' <תְקַלֵּ֑ל qalal [[07043]]>'''<Ref name="qalal">{{07043}}</Ref> the gods, nor [[curse]]<[[0779\|תָאֹֽר]] > the ruler of thy people.

			The root קָלַל ([[Kuf]][[Double Lamed]]) carries the idea of lightness in weight or status, and from that core meaning develops four dominant nuances:
			: 1) something easy or slight,
			: 2) treating a person or thing with contempt,
			: 3) uttering a curse or imprecation,
			: 4) swiftness or rapid motion.
			These senses overlap in that whatever is “light” may be regarded as trivial, despised, or quickly passed over.

			Human contempt rejects the honor bestowed by the Creator by natures law <ref>Cursing reduces another’s dignity to “nothing.” The command “Honor your father and mother” is guarded by severe penalties for the opposite behavior:
			* [[Exodus 21]]:17: “Whoever curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.”
			* [[Leviticus 19]]:14: “You shall not curse the deaf…”—the vulnerable are shielded.
			* [[Numbers 22]] (five occurrences) highlights Balaam’s futile attempt to curse those whom God has blessed, reinforcing [[Genesis 12]]:3, “I will curse those who curse you.”</ref>, and thus reveals unbelief in the nature of [[the way]] of God and His [[righteousness]].

			If you will not obey or honor your natural Father will you obey your Father in Heaven?<ref>Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.</ref>

			Even though we are told to ''call no man [[Father]]'' by Christ meaning putting the ''[[Fathers]] of the earth'' over us by the many [[means and methods]] by which man often returns to [[bondage]] under [[rulers]]. This is by the processes of [[covetous practices]], [[CCC\|contracts, covenants and constitutions]] when people develop an [[appetite]] for the [[benefits]] of their [[tables]] said to be for your [[welfare]] but are actually a [[snare\|snare and a trap]] which often reduce men and women to [[human resources]]. If we do we should honor those legal bonds.

			The contrast between “heavy” honor (kabod) and “light” contempt (qalal) recurs throughout the canon of scripture.

			It appears about eighty-two times, with concentrations in Torah (especially legal texts supposedly on cursing), in the narratives of Samuel–Kings, and in prophetic indictments. Less frequent but theologically rich appearances occur in Psalms and Proverbs.
			<blockquote>

			[[Genesis 8]]:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated <הֲקַ֣לּוּ 07043> from off the face of the ground;

			[[Genesis 8]]:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were '''abated''' <[[07043]] קַ֥לּוּ> from off the earth.
			</blockquote>
			In both occurrences above we see a single Lamed rather than the [[Double Lamed]] which is found in the root. But instead we see a [[Nun]] in the place of the second [[Lamed]].

			=== Call to prayer ===

			An online poll asked the question:

			"IF A BILL WERE INTRODUCED TO BAN THE MUSLIM CALL TO PRAYER FROM PUBLIC SPACES, HOW STRONGLY WOULD YOU SUPPORT IT?"

			There is [[freedom of Religion]] in America just like there is [[freedom of speech\|freedom of Speech]]. Both have limits.

			Promoting in word or deed the violent overthrow of of a national government is crime. In the U.S. government as a serious federal crime under laws like 18 U.S.C. § 2385 (Advocating overthrow of Government) and 18 U.S.C. § 2383 (Rebellion or Insurrection), it punishable by fines and imprisonment, including "incitement" – Legally, incitement involves encouraging, urging, or persuading someone to commit a crime, acting as an inchoate offense (a crime that can be punished even if the intended crime doesn't happen). In the U.S., especially under the Brandenburg v. Ohio standard, punishable speech requires advocacy of imminent lawless action with a high likelihood it will occur, not just abstract ideas or beliefs, though specific laws target inciting riots or violence.

			Then there is Seditious Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384): If two or more people conspire to overthrow, put down, or destroy by force the government of the United States, or to levy war against it, or to oppose its authority by force, they commit seditious conspiracy. This crime carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

			18 U.S.C. § 2385 (Advocating overthrow of Government): Makes it illegal to knowingly or willfully advocate for overthrowing the government by force or violence, or to print/publish such advocacy.

			No one should limit a call to prayer and freedom of religion bot no religion should advocate the overthrow of a legitimate national Government if it does they are making call to crime not to prayer.

			The term demiurge entered the English language in the 1600's through that Latin ''demiurgus''. It was originally rom two Greek words dêmos (δῆμος) meaning "people" and -εργ- ergon (ἔργον) meaning to "work" from ''werg''- "to do". In Classical Attic Greek (5th century BCE), the word δημιουργός (pronounced: DAY-mee-oor-GOS<ref>or with International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) /dɛː.mi.uːr.ɡós/. In ancient Athenian would have said something like "day-MEE-oor-gos" — quite different from the English form.</ref>

			Homer<ref>8th c. BCE</ref> used the word as a ''skilled public worker'', including people from ''soothsayers'' to ''physician'' or even a ''carpenter'' but By the 5th century BC we find Classical Athens using it to refer to ''a magistrate'' or any ''civic official'' of the [[bureaucracy]].
