As Islamic law is not a static corpus of legal rules, and as there are also interpretations which disprove the reality of a duty to obedience, it is impossible to compare our Mednin decision with 'the' sharia.
Fallacies of Islam
The word Islam, which means “surrender,” is related to the Arabic word salaam, or “peace.” Islam as a religion means “submission to the will of God.” It stands in a long line of Abrahimic religious traditions that share an uncompromising monotheism. (Atiya, 321) Ancient religious texts like the Koran comprise outdated ethical concepts. The Old Testament has brutal laws and brutal passages. As a result Christians and Jews don't pursue them. Muslims are the same as Christians and Jews; they choose what works and decline what doesn't work. Why should Islam be considered any worse than other belief or cult? The short answer is that Islam is not similar to any thing else, encompassing religions such as Christianity. As far as the Koran having any outdated ethical concepts, that is impossible.

The 'Islamic bank" is an absurd try to resolve, as was finished in the case of Christianity the unswerving opposition of Islam to usury for fourteen centuries. Since its source, the 'Islamic bank' has been patronized and encouraged by usurers. Their only aim was to integrate the thousand million Muslims of the world--who in general would scornfully bypass using any banking or usurious institution--into the worldwide economic and monetary system. The artificial creation by the colonial powers of the so called 'Islamic states', itself a contradiction in terms, whose feature is markedly anti-lslamic, was the historical result of the end of territorial colonization and the starting of the economic neo-colonialism. In alignment to speak on the "Islamic Bank", the new science of so-called 'Islamic economics' has appeared from the American and European universities.(Glasse, 87) However fallacious these two self-supporting concepts of economics are concepts considered with scorn by the Muslims of customary learning they have served as a justification for the ...
