“Shari`ah is a whole world,” Hamada Ben Amor, a Tunisian rapper, told Deutsche Welle.
“In Shari`ah there is law and science. There are scientists from all over the world who have found answers in the Qur\u2019an.\u201d
Tunisia was the birthplace of Arab Spring revolutions that led to the downfall of autocratic leaders in several Arab countries.
But two years after the ouster of President Zine Al-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia is still going through political turbulence.
The turmoil degenerated into violence earlier this month after a secular opposition was shot dead.
The assassination has brought the ruling Islamist Ennahda party into storm with protests in several Tunisian cities.
After the killing, Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali proposed forming a cabinet of apolitical technocrats, a proposal that met opposition from his own Ennahda party or its secular coalition partners.
But for Ben Amor, he sees that the application of Islamic Shari`ah is the way-out of the current unrest in Tunisia.
\u201cIt is a comfort and a luxury,\u201d said the 23-year-old, who made his name as a unifying figure, using music to bring together those who called for change.
\u201cUnder Shari`ah all Tunisians will be brothers and sisters. Shari`ah is the one solution.\u201d
In Islam, Shari`ah govern issues in Muslims\u2019 lives from daily prayers to fasting and from to inheritance and marital cases to financial disputes.
The Islamic rulings, however, do not apply on non-Muslims, even if in a dispute with non-Muslims.<\/p>\n
