The World' s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society - Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life


"[I]n nearly all countries surveyed, a majority says it is necessary to believe in God to be a moral person."

"[M]ost Muslims believe sharia is the revealed word of God rather than a body of law developed by men based on the word of God.... In South Asia, high percentages in all the countries surveyed support making sharia the official law... nearly as high across the Southeast Asian countries surveyed... In sub-Saharan Africa, at least half of Muslims in most countries surveyed say they favor making sharia the official law of the land...Support for sharia as the official law of the land also is widespread among Muslims in the Middle East-North Africa region..."

"In nearly all countries surveyed, a majority of Muslims say that a wife should always obey her husband."

In nine countries, a majority say women do not have the right to seek a divorce.

In ten countries, a majority say honor killings may sometimes be justified as punishment for pre- or extra-marital sex.

"[S]uicide bombing or other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam... substantial minorities in several countries say such acts of violence are at least sometimes justified, including 26% of Muslims in Bangladesh, 29% in Egypt, 39% in Afghanistan and 40% in the Palestinian territories.

A MOB attacked Alexander Aan even before an Indonesian court in June jailed him for two and a half years for “inciting religious hatred”. His crime was to write “God does not exist” on a Facebook group he had founded for atheists...

...ex-Muslim atheists are guilty of apostasy—a hudud crime against God, like adultery and drinking alcohol. Potential sanctions can be severe: eight states, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania and Sudan have the death penalty on their statute books for such offences...

Arguments for the death penalty are usually based on a Hadith, one of the sayings which, along with the Koran, form the basis of Islamic law: “The Prophet said: whoever discards his religion, kill him.”

... All four schools of Sunni Islamic law teach that male apostates should be put to death, though two say that female renegades should only be imprisoned...

A 2010 survey by the Pew Research Centre, an American think-tank, found that 84% of Muslims in Egypt and 86% in Jordan backed the death penalty for apostates... 51% in Nigeria and 30% in Indonesia.

Mohammad's first wife was a powerful businesswoman, something women in modern Arabian peninsula still struggle to achieve; so apparently Arab women's status there wasn't worse before Islam there.

Among all Muslims, or those who support Sharia?

For example in this study:


Only 29% of Lebanese Muslims support Sharia.

in this 46% of Lebanese Muslims who support Sharia condone penalty death for apostasy.

Hello guys all. Islam is my religion and islam means peace. Why was the word islam or peace chosen exactly? Because we do not want conflict. Yet that does not mean that we acknowledge inferiority or abide by the laws of other countries. Saying that Muslims should conform to the laws of the country they are moving too is absurd. What about the prehistoric emigrations of Africans to Europe? There is north and there is south. North is cold and south is hot. By nature then south got no water, not enough, therefore they have to be conservative. They have to endure like camels. While in the north, then they got plenty of water, snow, or summertime, then they dont need to conserve. Therefore Christianity and the West like got alot of muslce power, they are like bodybuilders. Like bears. While muslims are like martial artists, free martial artists, with more technique and applying sience instead of brute force. So borth are right, and both has the right to survive when the world globalizes. So we will have to find a solution. But as a muslim, of a free martial artists, I do not accept that the West confines me and let me "box" within a ring (confinement) and call kicking for unhonorable because they cant kick, only box. I would argue that Muslims should have asendance because they can kick and are therefore versatile and allow for wiser decision and they do therefore not resort for taking over the whole world and erase the west from existence just because they made an error and tried to confine us. Like ... there was a moderator in a wester forum and she had a picture of a snake and avatar and a heart. So you are like snakes and we have to love you and i agree, but you shouldnt get asencdancy. And the prehistoric Afriacans who lived in the south are the first and therefore most adaptive humans and therefore should still exist. You get me right? You are the future, and we are the past. And the past shouldnt be erased and it got exprience and experience is wisdom and it is far more superior that knowledge because it can control itself and see the bigger picture.

Peace

^ Islam means submission. Derived from the verb Sallama سَلَّمَ.

You submit yourself to the police = Salamta nafsak lel chorta.
He submits himself to the police = Sallamma nafsaho lel chorta.

Salam سلام or Silem سِلْم means peace, not Islam.

do you know Arabic?

Salam, Imam!

And thank you!

Surah 9, verse 29 says "Those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day - even though they were given the scriptures, and who do not hold as unlawful that which Allah and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, and who do not follow the true religion - fight against them until they pay tribute out of their hand and are utterly subdued." This is the Word of Islam.

Breaking the laws of other countries and expecting to be treated by them as anything other than a criminal is not only absurd, but it is insane.

Have you never heard of a place called "Antarctica"? No? You should check it out. Y'see, it's a vast continent of ice and snow situated around the South Pole ...

As an earned right or a granted privilege?

You write much like those seminarians I used to know who had never lived anywhere but in a cloistered religious community. They also spoke in vague metaphors and long, convoluted sentences. They also denied that their religion preached anything but peace. They also declared that they did not have to follow secular law, even during their arrests, trials, convictions, sentencings, and prison terms.

Secular law rules the land. Denying this does not grant immunity.

Gnostic bishop, you are not a scholar.. The consensus of scholars is that fighting is only in self defense...even if you have the right to interpret the quran as an AMATEUR, your view is contradicted by actual muslim authorities...and 95 percent of those verses refer to hellfire, an otherwordly punishment.... And i dont see you calling buddhism a religion of war because of savagery against muslims in burma, or christianity because of uganda and the central african republic (which has left tens of thousands of muslims fleeing the car), and again, you are not above the scholars, who are ALL against forced conversion, and most against offendive jihad, and ill only start taking you seriously when you call christianity and buddhism religions of war...mmkay?

Scholars == Philosophers

They may know a great deal about a subject in theory; but in practice, not so much.

fnord, you ate an amauteur...your views on jizyah in 9:29 do not trump scholars...scholars agree that jizyah is in exchange for not paying zakat, for not serving in military, and for religious freedom.., furthermore jizyah is supposed to be light... I find the arrogance of laymen critics of islam appalling....

Gnostic bishop, quran 2 192 does not say "if they desist in disbelief" it says fitnah, which here means corruption or opprression... Fnord im not even gonna bother debating the authority of scholars because nothing i say will EVER change your mind, as you prefer listrning to the likes of sam harris bill maher and richard dawkins then people who have spent half their lives....

There is no "pure" Islam. If there was a "pure" Islam, there would be only one Islam. There are many Islams, and none of them is right.
