A bogeyman (also spelt bogieman, boogeyman or boogieman)…

While it is certainly not as important as faith, life, or family, property also matters in the Shari’ah system. I think Muslims need to point this out because it is a significant similarity between Islamic law and American law. There have been socialist movements within the Muslim world, but a strict interpretation of Marxism would absolutely conflict with Islam because Marxism rejects belief in God and individual rights.

Also, in the first paragraph, you used “boogie man,” an incorrect spelling for “bogeyman.”

I think another reason that the term “Shari`a” is used over comparable English terms like “law” (or whatever else it might mean in different contexts) is merely to promote this non-existent dichotomy of “us” and “them,” of “familiar” and “foreign.” And that’s definitely not how bridges are built.
