:: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 :: Some essential differences that need to be considered when evaluating the situation in Iraq.While the situation has changed in recent years, in many Muslim settings there has been, in theory, no legislative body. The state does not create law: Law creates the state. It would have been almost unimaginable that a group of people, even representative ones, could, by a mere vote, think that they had created some new rule that should govern Muslims' lives and established some new punishment for its infraction. Only God, not men, could make laws and set punishments, and God has already laid down such laws in the sharia.
