Sharia law – Mauritius
The sharia law is quite a contradictory law according to Priscus. Why ? Later we can talk about it.
What is Sharia?
It is the body of Islamic religious law and it deals with a number of aspects in everyday life like politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, family, sexuality, hygiene, and social issues.
Is the Sharia law a problem for muslim women ?
I will say yes.
In some countries:- like Senegal following the Sharia Law any woman can be accused of going against Sharia.
There is no framework for the Sharia law by the way.
Case Study: An unmarried woman got raped in Senegal and gets pregnant and she file a case in court. She will automatically get sentenced. Why ?
She will be accused of going against Sharia law , according to Senegal judge , the lady has encouraged the man who raped her for this reason the women will be sentenced.
Also if a woman is pregnant it means that she was willing for a sexual relation.
Contradictory isnt it?
Again in Senegal a woman is found on the street at night she will be automatically sentenced and accused of going against Sharia law.
The question is what is the Sharia law?
Thank god there is such no law in Mauritius.

I’m for Sharia but I am aware that it’s not applicable in Mauritius or the UK. One cannot impose a religious law into a country like the UK for e.g. which is in no need to change existing culture.
AFA Sharia goes, Bitches get PWNED! *yay* Men also get PWNED too! *yay* Priscus will prolly’ get PWNED for her promiscuity! *yay* This is prolly’ one of many reasons she’s against it, anyway. LOL
@Shah, Why would you want Shariah? Its inhumaine. Women are oppressed.
First off, I think you need to get your records straight. Senegal does not follow the Shari’a law. I wonder if you have ever been to Senegal? Sorry but your cases are totally made up.
I don’t think that you can ever put the fault on a rape victim.I agree that Sharia law is a little out-dated and quite varied depending on region. The example of the woman in Senegal is probably isolated to a few states, and although it does seem biased towards women its not true to say that only women can be punished under Sharia law, there was this case: http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/008221.php I think it is fair to say that Sharia law on the whole IS a male-dominated system, but the extent of which varies depending on the country. As Sharia law has spread, especially into the north African countries, it has been mis-interpreted and mis-applied in favour of men. In any case, death cannot be a justfied action for adultery, it’s a human rights issue. Considering this, I don’t think you can argue that the Sharia law is wrong, but that the countries who have allowed Sharia law to become part of their system are not doing the right thing.
Also, on a separate note, it wouldn’t be a good idea to suggest that Sharia law itself is wrong (even though i have to admit it doesn’t make much sense to me!), but rather, that the countries who have it as their law should be punished/sanctioned or something else.

Priscus I am a bit disappointed since you did not comment on my post
http://blebon.blogspot.com/2009/03/la-femme-adultere.html :’(
I dont know much about this topic. Let me google it a bit and i come to comment in some minutes
Here’s something funny – all these women who believe that they can be free, must have equal rights to men, can do everything a men can do, well – they still manage to get raped.
Frakin’ feminists and promiscuous women! The Sharia is your reality check! LOL. Female PWNAGE = good!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1578018/What-is-sharia-law.html
— Well I think the sharia law is good as it reduce crimes…by dicouraging criminals HOWEVER… I wonder to what extent is it really used with EQUALITY.
I read that “”In Saudi Arabia, a women who was raped was recently found guilty of being in the company of strangers in private and was sentenced to be lashed, though she was subsequently pardoned.”" – Well this is really ridiculous. Why was the lady punished when the man who was at fault. It was the man who had to be lashed. Read this article too: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/2000/04/000426-islam1.htm
— Well its good we live in a country like mauritius where there is no religious law. (Any religion)

are you a tranny?
Women want to be like men. Men do not want to be sissies 
Off topic: No am not. On topic: I think by equal right women want that they can get the right and REAL opportunity to do ‘certain’ things that man can do. Sex and other similar stuff got nothing to do with this. “”can do everything a men can do, well – they still manage to get raped.”" You mean a group of women should start to force man to frak their THING in a woden dry hole?
I hope you didnt mean that.
I dont think women wanna be like men physically or sexually. What they want is to have similar rights when it comes to living in society, working, work position. I ask u 1 simple question. I give you some bricks (bricks mem dir sa non
? ) and cement etc etc. and i tell you you have to build a perfect room and paint it too for sunday! You will scream your sweats out and you wont be able to complete it. However I know a woman who work amids those ‘macon” here and she can do that. I dont say women should do this work but its jst to show that a woman too can do the job of a man. (job does not refer to sex here). Wat in your opinion is the work MADE FOR WOMEN? tell me some and i’ll ask you if men never did it.
Kurt Avish’s last blog post..Giant Sea Polychaete Worm To Make You Say Yuuuck!
This is not in all tribes. Sew….brrrww. Anyway something make us think anyway… its true… why does women have to cover up whole to not get raped? Is it women’s fault? Ohhh…i guess then man is an animal who lack affextion and cannot control his sexual desire!
I once heard a friend said….”ban fam la met linge courte et zot pa envi zom viol zot” – I told him “be to manier penser mari en ***** mo frere!”
You know why? WHat logic is there that if women wear short clothes then man have to rape? The man who rape who is SICK! Not the woman! If the woman wanted sex then thats something else. Quelle lozik!! Alor man can show his dick out and walk openly and woman must be enclosed?! Its raining illogical molecules in this damn world then!
Kurt Avish’s last blog post..Giant Sea Polychaete Worm To Make You Say Yuuuck!
Indeed. As Selven pointed out again, there can’t be clashes between already established law for all and “cultural/religion” law.
“ban fam la met linge courte et zot pa envi zom viol zot”
B g*g*t, sluts/skanks sa mem p roder. alle faire psychologie. Femme envi penis!
Zome ena pulsions sexual et pran sa ki zote gagner. Pas pou rien ki dire brain dans penis! Mari top seleman alpha males FTW!
@Yusha/Priscus – watch (& listen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS4b2tDggkc
Men need to re-learn how to use the women and not let the frakin’ women take over! Men need to build their harem full of women – 5 one night stands per week would be a good start.
“I think with time people has misinterpret what women want. ”
@Yusha/Priscus – watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzNa9dT7Pow and the other vids.
Since like forever, all you’ve wanted is a penis! So, cut the crap!
It is now that I notice your footer: “Post upon the request of Bruno” I did not ask you to post on Sharia … I mentionned a specific case a saw on the BBC, not the law in general. I am not generally happy to discuss sensitive issues.
Many people have already mentioned it. Sharia Law can’t be applied in Mauritius and should not be applied, It’s laughable when its application was being discussed in the UK. One of the reasons given was to control its practice, because people can misuse it and there have been a few honour killing in the UK (where the father actually kills his daughter because she went out with a guy he didn’t like). But it’s rather foolish that the UK has to adopt other cultures, it’s already one of the most tolerant countries in the world, but it shouldn’t do more. People coming here should adapt to the culture here, not the other way round. As for Mauritius, I think it will end up being implemented someday, although it shouldn’t be. There can’t be 2 kind of laws for 2 different people. We are meant to be living in a harmonious society, we don’t need to distinguish between people.

“If islamic countries wanna adopt the law its their problem…”
Why is it their “problem”? What is the problem here? Explain. Are you a frakin’ racist or something? It’s not a problem @ all.
I think we need to know more about Sharia Law before qualifying it as one discriminatory against women. There is a lot of difference between how it’s applied in certain countries and how it should be applied.
Yashi’s last blog post..The Damned United : Movie Review
le debat est intense … but the tone is correct
congratulations for your arbitration yupri (surtout ke le sujet est tres sensible)
“An unmarried woman get rape , then onwards she is pregnant. She file a case at court and condemn of sharia.
Is it not misuse of the law?”
Depends upon her relgion. If she’s muslim, Sharia = good. For the external eye = No. In legal context = does the implementation of Sharia go against the current legal framework? If Court and legislation says “yes,” she’ll get PWNED.
I trolled the post due to the lack of empirical data. This is one of the main reasons I boycott Island Crisis.
Is it not a fundamental criterior that when a person makes a statement or writes about a subject matter, he/she has some competence therein? Priscus/Bruno, have either of you studied Sharia? Can I (should I!) write about sati or shivalingum without a grasp of the subject, especially if there are those who are aware of the issue at hand?
It is abundantly clear that the both of you are ignorant of this complex and evolving science (Sharia). Inlight of the fact that we live in a multicultural society here in Mauritius, I’m amazed by the number of Islamophobic and downright stupid articles posted here. Should any one of these posts seep into Mauritian society in general, I hope that you are capable of bearing the consequences.
if we take the case of Christianity there are laws that are found in the Old Testament (on which most of the Sharia law) is based.
According to the bible the law cannot prevent someone to do wrong things. And it’s true.
Despite all kind of laws we still have thieves, corrupt people, rapes etc.
It’s not law that is going to change a thing. Whatever law you will implement nothing will change because people are wrong from the inside.
Joshua’s last blog post..Do you suffer from Affluenza?
islam and sharia are misinterpreted by many people. some say islam is the religion of the sword which force people to convert etc… which is not true, if islam was the religion of the sword then there wouldn`t have been so many non muslims in muslim countries. also, in regards to sharia law, there maybe one or two occasions when justice isnt done properly according to islamic rulings, it is not the law to be blamed but the judge.
There is no such law who punish men in senegal. According to you if a woman get raped it is her fault ?
Before sayin i am for sharia i think there shuld be a defined legal framework for it first
Title of the paper “Freedom in the World 2008 – Senegal”
I am giving you an extract
“Women’s constitutional rights are often not honored, especially in rural areas, and women enjoy fewer opportunities than men for education and formal employment. Only two sexual harassment cases have been brought in the courts since 1995, and men remain the legal heads of households. Many elements of Sharia (Islamic law) and local customary law, particularly those regarding inheritance and marital relations, discriminate against women.”
from http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/refworld/rwmain?page=country&docid=487ca2579b&skip=0&coi=SEN&querysi=sharia%20law&searchin=fulltext&display=10&sort=date
Officially not, but Sharia courts do exist in Senegal. But with regards to that particular case i couldn’t find it anywhere (i think google let me down
lol )….but maybe you were refering to the Yakubu Abubakar case? In Nigeria (http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/AFR44/001/2004/en/dom-AFR440012004en.html)
nav007’s last blog post..Death to all Haribo bears!
Bacus you can surely cross check the source that there is Sharia in senegal .
According to you why has there been only two harrasement cases sent to court since 1995.
The case studies are from a documentary i watched in TV 5 monde.
The cases i talked about is from a documentary in TV5 monde. I will try to get the link +women do not dare to divulged their identity or else they will be condemn under the sharia law.
I agree, there’s probably many many more cases of abuse on women tht goes unnoticed :/
nav007’s last blog post..Death to all Haribo bears!
ya, totally agree
nav007’s last blog post..Death to all Haribo bears!
The aim of the sharia was like to be a guide but i think it has been misinterpreted and many made wrong use of it.
She was the object being “dirtied.” If the Sharia was applicable, she had to be PWNED even if she was family or not!
Why was she raped in the first place? LOL
“Before sayin i am for sharia i think there shuld be a defined legal framework for it first”
Re-think of whatever you’ve typed above. LOL.
I read your post i was a bit stucked with some stuffs .. i will surely comment already have it in mind
Can man do everything that a woman do?
The problem is the misuse of the sharia law in a number of african countries
en afrik noir bane famm la marss a poile lor simer.. pena viole
en amazone bane famm indizene la marss a poile.. la si pena viole
Concerning “fam indizen” in a number of tribe in order to avoid rape women clitoris are sewn and a little hole only is left for urine and menses purposes. It is another aspect of the issue. Once the women get married .. for sexual intercourse it is open .. then afterward sewn again.
One way to avoid rape.
I think with time people has misinterpret what women want. Women only need equal opportunity and do not want to be discriminated because they women.
I vote for Selven answer too.
BTW, If I do meet a chick dressed “lightly” in public I’ll check her out, stamp the words skank, sluts onto her and try to figure out the amount she’ll take for different sex services.
You don’t dress up as a slut and expect people to not think of you as a slut.
Approaching her can be done by various “means” – the sluts can tell you more if they want to.
(And don’t give me the crap about “what if the chick is your mom or sister” ‘coz if she was – she’d be stamped as a slut too!)
Funny how Avish believes in the “goodness” of men and the whole crap about men respecting frail women who suffer from penis envy! LOL
I look FWD to your blog post about how your chick got banged by some dude – maybe in 10 years from now
Delusional you are, man.
So are these sluts then? http://mauritiushotelsmu.wordpress.com/2009/04/03/elite-model-2009-in-mauritius/
@ Bruno – the last one seems to have a dick hidden under the garments.
Lol hearing you adding sex to everything just make me feel its baseless discussing with you as you got only ONE point and thats sex. IMO I think if a woman wanna cover up well or to the max! then thats her wish. she can do it. Now in real there are other two type…. (exclusing the one who cover whole) there are one type who cover herself moderately and the one who wear clothes like a slut as you said! By lightly here I was not talking about the girl who wear a minijupe pa mem20 centimeter and a top like a bra! By light clothes here I mean the casual clothe girls in mauritius wear! So if a girl wear a top and sort of ’short traoi quart” then she is a slut?? ROFL! You seem ridiculous here! Then say that all girls in mauritius are sluts! Now if you are talking about those who waer clothes as if they are wearing nothing and doing slut like ways on the street then that another stuff.
“”Men need to build their harem full of women – 5 one night stands per week would be a good start.”"
To end, we were talking of the Sharia here i guess….and what does it say for this act of man you mentioned above?
If islamic countries wanna adopt the law its their problem… we cant force them to not do it but still their are injustice when the law is applied differently for men and differently for women. If its a real law it shoudl be apply in the same way for both.
As for countries like Mauritius and UK its TOTALLY RIDICULOUS to apply such laws here. These are multiracial countries and there ,ust be a law which is the same and also LOGIC for everyone. We cant apply a law for a religion and another for another, Else in this way all religion will try to invent their laws too lol and we will have more than 7 types of laws in mauritius or UK.
Yashi you’ve bombed on this one! Sharia was being discussed by the Archbishop; Dr Rowan Williams in the SAME context (marriage, divorce etc.) as the Jewish Beth Din courts which ALREADY exist in the UK. I’ve already made my point regarding MPL in Mauritius.
It’s not a point – it’s more like the perfect context to show you that women deserve to be PWNED.
yeah – MRU, EU, US, etc = pro promiscuity.
Biatches need to be PWNED! Watch 5:25 -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w8NCtI5_Q8
Even Tania, Athene’s Biatch gets PWNED.
LOL
Reading between the lines, this moot point by kurt needs addressing. Muslim Personal Law is written in stone! This was agreed upon (as was the Adhaan; call to prayer) both leading upto and after independence. just because other religions are devoid of a complete way of life, why target Islam and by definition Muslims.
Lol. You are understanding English in literal meaning now. Ok to clarify it for you I meant if they wanna use this law its their wish of their people or their country but still in many countries where it is applicable it is CLEARLY visible that the law is being applied differently for man and for woman. A law should be equal for anyone! However this type of law (sharia or even similar law for any other religion) have NO PLACE in a country like Mauritius or UK!
The problem is about the misuse of the law against women .
Thanks Bruno .
I think if we analyse a number of comment we have the impression that human is a sexual animal by nature.
Oh, you are!
lol … ouias
I hope you mean both men and women, because women can be, sexually, as animalistic, if not more animalistic than men…
Yashi’s last blog post..The Damned United : Movie Review
“A law should be equal for anyone!”
anyone??? not everyone then?
“many countries where it is applicable it is CLEARLY visible that the law is being applied differently for man and for woman”
Man Woman!!!!
people will never learn and sluts/biatches shall remain in denial.
“The problem is about the misuse of the law against women .”
LOL. What misuse are you talking about? Get the context, right, please.
An unmarried woman get rape , then onwards she is pregnant. She file a case at court and condemn of sharia.
Is it not misuse of the law?
humans = women and men
Shah come back to real life , the ladies in senegal are in such pitiful state because of the sharia law that they do not dare to lodge cases in court. From where to get data? By times do watch documentary in Tv 5 monde.
lol did u boycott my blog as well
nah, never boycott a guitarist! – it’s a rule.
http://www.priscus.info/2009/04/04/modern-sita/
So TV5 Monde is infalliable is it? Devoid of a political agenda? There are literally hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of cases where women are sexually assaulted in various facets, in India and the in the West, are these occurances damning indictments of these societies as a whole?
I do agree that in India there are cases of women are sexually assaulted and we should also not forget the issue of dowry in Indian. It is true that dowry is illegal but unfortunately it is still in practice in some remote regions. In some asian countries , the worst is about child prostitution . Another topic which is debatable.
All people have a good and bad side as you said implementation of law is not ultimate law
