The human rights are universal and they are not exclusive to any specific religion, difference in intyerpretation and implementation is always there.Does Shari'ah and Muslim law acknowledge the human right to exist regardless of religion, race, etc...?This question has an answer, that in Islam there is no distinction of human beings on the bases of religion or idea to be reason for denying fundamental human rights.All human life is sacred irespective of race,co.,or, ideas and any thing else....
Human life can not be taken away except as prescribed by Law... in Islamic culture equivalent of this term is Shariah ( used in Cairo Declaration)Dear Paula , as to Jewish legal tradition , it has many many points which are not compatible with modern realities of life as interpretation of many Islamic laws is not in line with present realities of social and culturla level.
The point being referred usually in debate on the issue of killing infidels is about the situation when it is WAR, active war and in the battlefield not outside that specific context. Because Islam 's legal ideas even are applicable in war, Wars were humanized by Islamic ideas of humanity.IN no circumstances , a life can be taken only due to reason that he or she differs from one's... Read more rel;igious or other ideas. Human life is sacrosanct in all the circumstances except when one;s life in dnager then eevry one has rigth for self defence but it does not approve pre-emptive strikes. A blatrant cruelity of our modern state craft.As to legal comparison of different traditions of Law, it is amazing field where new ideas are explored. If you have any questions please let em know.thx.
