Sharia - or Islamic law - is gradually working its way into public life in Islamic and non-Islamic nations around the world.

In the meantime, questions linger on what Sharia is and what it means for Christians and others forced to abide by it.

Jeff Hammond is a Christian who has lived and worked in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation for 35 years.

"Sharia law is a legal system on the teachings of the Koran, the Sunna and the Hadith of Mohammed, applied into the community as the legal basis for life," Hammond explained.

He says Indonesian Christians are concerned about creeping Sharia law, now in place in half of the country's 32 provinces.

"It's going from one province to another," Hammond said. "It's not something that's happening all at once, but step by step..."

For instance, even Christian school girls are forced to cover their heads in Padang province.

Elsewhere in Indonesia, children attending public schools are required to learn the Koran.

In Indonesia's Bandeh Aceh province, Shariah police make nightly patrols to ensure that unmarried or non-related couples are not seen together in public.

"Christians are very concerned, not only because of what is happening here in Indonesia. They also see reports that are coming from other countries," Hammond said.

Such countries include the Islamic nations like Somalia where devotion to Sharia law caused vigilantes to behead a 25-year-old aid worker for converting from Islam to Christianity.

There is also Iran where women are legally stoned to death for committing adultery.

Additionally, prostitutes in Afghanistan are executed for their behavior.

Finally, in Pakistan the government apparently has accepted the imposition of Sharia law in the Taliban controlled Swat Valley of the North West Frontier Province. It's a place where violators of Sharia are often subjected to lashes.

Enforcement of Pakistan's blasphemy laws have led to the imprisonment of Christians such as 20-year-old Sandal Bibi and her father Gul Sheer on charges of blasphemy against the Koran.

Sharia also inspires boys like one 12-year-old Pakistani to wage jihad and behead their enemies without punishment.

Syrian-born American psychiatrist Wafa Sultan is the author of the new book, A God Who Hates. She argues Islam is currently at war with itself.

She adds that its treatment of women is the genesis of all modern day Muslim intolerance.

According to Sultan, Islam's progression of violence, self pity and hate will ultimately lead to the demise of the Muslim world.

  • islam , as a political, social and economic ideology has proven time and again that it is an utter failure, producing corrupt dictatorial regimes, grinding poverty, illiteracy and intellectual backwardness, misogyny, hatred of the Other, debilitating fatalism, dysfunctional individuals, institutionalized hypocrisy and nihilistic terrorists. That IS islam. It needs to be excised from the civilized world. Wafa Sultan couldn't be more correct...

  • @freedom4afghanistan, I'm yet to find any evidence of christians using scripture to justify murder, but feral muslims are using their scripture almost on a daily basis to inflict barbarism and savagery on hapless victims. You muslims are the scum of the earth, the lowest of the low...

  • Now I am a Christian...don't you guys think that Jesus would show love to Muslims though? He showed love to Jews, Pagan Romans, and Atheists all throughout his life...why are the Muslims any different?

  • @PsychoCrusher209 Interesting don't you think.

  • That's not fair to judge other families of the earth. What's with the finger pointing? I don't agree with Islamic lifestyle but don't have anything to say regarding their religion. In a country where everyone fights over goods or private property I wouldn't say capitalism should be introduced to.

  • @AbdelElba The difference between a christian law & sharia law is that christianity has moved on from 2000 years ago and is associated with democracy, where as sharia law hasnt moved on from the times of muhammed. To progress as people sharia law has to be changed and updated to nowadays or forgotten about altogether.

  • Stay away from the 700 club....they're being misled.

  • You are in a country you should work by its rules weather its harsh or not.

  • the prophet is a murderous adulterous ignorant pedophilic gigolo.

    the qu'ran is full of tacky muslim lies.
