An ethical dilemma

In: Sudanow, Band 11, Heft 1, S. 8-11

Abstract

A comprehensive and detailed survey of the personalities and various groupings and organisations that share the criticism of the 1983 September laws, the introduction of sharia. Whereas the National Islamic Front and the Muslim Brothers call for modifying the sharia, the Umma Party, the Nationalist Union Party, the Republican Brothers, the National Alliance for the Salvation of the Country as well as the Catholic Church call for their abolition. The article sheds light on the fact that the sharia, as introduced under Nimeiri, was also criticised on Islamic grounds. (DÜI-Asd)
