Opinion
The world must take a stand on Sharia lawThe Monitor: "The real problem is that the Sharia law has remained conservative, and mostly barbaric, despite the fact that religion and the law are as dynamic as society itself. Religion and law are supposed to guide society and to enable human beings to live in harmony. Therefore, when these two respected institutions instead connive to bring about injustice and violation of human rights, we might as well say they work to bring insanity in society."
Education
