Malaysia's main opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), has unveiled its plans for an Islamic state, ahead of elections expected within a year.
The document includes plans for implementing strict Islamic Sharia law, but also commits the party to ending restrictive internal security laws.

PAS has said that non-Muslims would not be answerable to Sharia law.

The Islamic code includes such punishment as amputations and stoning....

2. hey it's more progressive than the current GOP platform

the Republicans want to subject EVERYONE regardless of religion to their own version of sharia law!

Could we get to a situation where the right wing fundie-pushed laws apply only to right wing fundies? And secular laws apply to those who are secular?

3. it is possible...

...In multireligious countries (like India), there are different set of laws for different religious communities.

The Muslim male is allowed to have four wives in India, whereas, the Hindu can have only one.

Divorce and Inheritance laws vary between Hindus, Christians and Muslims in India.
