In Muslim nations, the question of religion and the law can be a tricky one. The Quran is explicit and detailed in outlining the Islamic legal system, but should this system influence the laws of a sovereign nation? Opinion on the topic is largely divided, with hard-line Islamic nations like Pakistan overwhelmingly support a strict following of Islamic law, while more secular Islamic nations like Burkina Faso disregard the Quran's law completely.
