According to Muslim belief, Sharia cannot be but just.[1] God is just and so is His legislation; this statement is recurrent among Muslim scholars.[2] Nevertheless, there are most probably many Muslims, who in some cases may consider themselves victims of unjust treatment by states that follow Sharia law. This does not only apply to critical Muslims, who believe that certain regulations of a traditional version of Sharia are out of time and in need of reform, such as corporal punishment and discrimination against women in regard to inheritance law and to their role as witnesses. Also those Muslims, who unexceptionally approve of Sharia law in its traditional form, do in some cases feel that they or their fellow citizens are treated unfairly by the state. The perceived injustice of the Muslim ruler of the state, even if he subscribed to the same religious orientation, was often enough a cause for waging wars against fellow believers.[3]
