ABOLISH FATWA

             A so - called parellel jurisprudence by the name of Fatwa is unique in Islam.It's not essential if a country is governed by the modern laws or not but an illiterate mullah can challenge the sovereign laws by proclaiming a religious edict which is popularly known as Fatwa and there is no law to prosecute that mullah.This practice not only violates the established norms of law but it creates an uncivilised precedence practiced in the middle ages. Governments in the Muslim nations are afraid to take corrective actions against the practice of Gatwa out of fear based on ignorance and illiteracy.It's a shame that a modern government succumbs to such deliberate efforts by the Islamic fundamentalists which undermines the authority of the gocernment with impunity .In the modern times,this practice of Fatwa is an attempt to impose a  system on the society based on medieval considerations.If the aim of law is to eliminate crimes this cant be done by beheading or cutting limbs and hands.This requires universal education,even handed social justice and equal distribution of wealth.
