Bill: Introduction Bill - Islamic Law
Details
Submitted by[?]: Society of Guardians of Islam
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.
Voting deadline: July 2271
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. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
