in my humble uneducated opinion, it's not practical in a non muslim country. you have to change the whole fabric of society and that just isn't possible. some so called muslims would run a mile from it so imagine the non muslim who is ignorant of it. The only thing he knows is forced veils, "honour killings" and hands being chopped off. what's needed is education first on what shariah means; a social construct for the betterment of the individual. from there we can move on. otherwise with trash media painting a warped view of it constantly, the average pub going simpleton and his mother are experts on "Shariah".

Hamza Yusuf addresses this briefly in a talk and how it just isn't feasible in a non muslim country like USA. I agree. Even amongst the muslim masses it just wouldn't work when there is poverty etc around.

Shariah is precise in everything and it's all interlinked. any loose end affects the functioning of the system as a whole.

having said that, with the complete breakdown of society in the west, and the possible advent of an Islamic state run purely on Islam (soon Inshallah), things get interesting.
