The general public and many academics have several preconceived notions
about Islamic Law. One such notion is that Islamic judges are bound by ancient and
outdated rules of fixed punishments for all crimes.
Some contemporary scholars fail to recognize Islamic Law as an equal to English
Common Law, European Civil Law and Socialist Law. A few academics have even
attempted to place Islamic Law into the Civil Law tradition. Other writers have
simply added a footnote to their works on comparative justice on the religious law
categories of Islamic Law, Hindu Law, which is still used in some parts of India, and
the Law of Moses from the Old Testament which still guides the current thought of the
Israeli Knesset (Parliament) today. This survey will attempt to alter some of these
inaccurate perceptions and treatments in both the contemporary literature and academic
writings.
Mohammed Salam Madkoar explains the theoretical assumptions of Islamic Law:

EXTREMISM:
Extremism is a term used to describe the actions or ideologies of individuals
or groups outside the perceived political center of a society; or otherwise claimed
to violate common moral standards. The term is invariably, or almost invariably,
used pejoratively.
That Qabil, son of the first man Adam, killed his own brother Habil, due to
some personal reason. After that, the Quran declares: 'On that account: We
ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone slew a person -- unless it be for
murder or for spreading mischief in the land -- it would be as if he slew the whole
people: and if anyone saved a life it would be as if he saved the life of the whole
people. Then although there came to them Our Messengers with Clear Signs, yet
even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land'. (Surah al
Maidah 32)
Likewise, the Jamaat-e Islami developed the theory that all the systems
prevailing in the world today are 'evil' (taghuti). It claimed that it was the duty of
all Muslims to struggle to destroy these systems and to establish the 'Islamic
system' in their place. It claimed that this work was so necessary that if by
warning or admonition this did not happen, the followers of Islam should resort to

violence to snatch the keys of power from the upholders of 'evil' and establish
'Islamic government' across the whole world. The violence that is happening in
Pakistan and Kashmir in the name of Islam today is entirely a result of this
fabricated ideology.

fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors.” (Quran
2:190)
“If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One
that
heareth and knoweth all things.” (Quran 8:61)
War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid
down by the sacred law. The term ‘jihad’ literally means ’struggle’. Muslims believe
that there are two kinds of jihad. The other ‘jihad’ is the inner struggle of the soul
which everyone wages against egotistic desires for the sake of attaining inner.
REALITES:
Our people in Gaza have experienced some of the most
difficult days imagine le, days who se hardness’ and severity are
almost indescribably able; and the enemy was amazed and the
friend delighted by the resolve of a defenseless people against the
savagery of the brothers of moon keys and swine which
manifested itself in the ugliest off forms; and so ugly were their
crimes that they were condemned by groups and individuals
among the Jews, usually bereft of fairness and human emotions.
The aggression against Gaza represents a new holocaust and
another massacre in the continuing series of criminal massacres
which the member s of the Zio-Crusader alliance are w aging
against brothers of ours inn Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Somalia,
Paletine, and else where, and we must interact with everything
that happens to our brothers in Gaza in this context. In addition,
this open-faced aggression and ugly crime against humanity
