I am viewing Islam from a sociological point of view - a viewpoint which is outside concerns of where I'm from or where my personal opinions come from. Although sociology was first developed in the West, it requires a non-societal examination of society. The study itself is scientific, not cultural.

 

They are also dead and no longer a part of society.

They do not have free will? Somehow they are not human?

Islam means literally individual submission to the will of Allah.

And even if the religion did not involve individuality, humanity intrinsicly does.

Not all of Islam follows Sharia law. There are around seven-eight million Muslims who live in the United States that follow its laws.
