Panel #1:
Shariah Law Enforcers

  • Muslims, followers of Islam, believe in Allah and are bound by the Koran.
  • Shariah Law is based on the Koran, which is considered the infallible law of Allah.
  • A Muslim woman under Shariah Law must cover every inch of her body. No part of her body can be exposed because the skin is considered a sexual organ in Shariah Law.
  • The Koran states, "A woman is likened to a sweet creature. Everything about her is an attraction for spectators. Islam protects her by enjoining her to wear Hijab, so that covering herself does not attract the swamps of flies and dirty creatures attracted to uncovered sweets, as in the cone of today's woman who falls prey to this."
  • Hijab, the veil worn by allegiant Muslim women, literally translates to mean screen, curtain, partition or concealment.
  • Depending on the community, violations for failure to adorn Hijab range from whippings to execution.
