Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| The only path for Wantuni is the path of Islam. Allah sent us His message in the form of His servants: Isa, Muhammad, Abraham, and many others. This message will save us from imperialism, decadence, and sin. We must allow the sharia courts and the Islamic judges to control this country, for the good of all. Simultaneously, let us implement programs to help the poor and oppressed, as is commanded in the holy Qu'ran and the Five Pillars of our faith. |
