Sharia State or Secular State

If the “sharia” state is positioned in the context of resistance to modernity, it might gain support of the people of the world since no one can side with global oppression. But the main problem is that the “sharia state” as a form of resistance to modernity is only a secondary target. The main target is its “maximal state” which has a political dimension, though the leader of Muhammadiyah, Syafi’i Ma’arif, is right to say that should that happen the pro -”sharia state” movement would only gain the cup of failure.
