  Robin Garr's Louisville Restaurant Guide / Shariat's
We're told that owner Anoosh Shariat is looking for other opportunities in the local restaurant scene, and wish him well.
But the development created a venue for Shariat, who had been associated with a fine but similarly short-lived Hurstbourne-area eatery called Remington's, to put his stamp on the spot that bears his name and that has stood the test of time.
Shariat himself is said to be a vegetarian, and those who shun animal flesh can reportedly get a wonderful meatless dinner here on request.

 Jihãd in the Shariat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In Islam, the term ‘Shariat’ is often used to mean the system of ordinances as given in the Koran and the Hadis.
In other words, the Shariat asks the Muslims to look upon treaties with infidels as no more than temporary expedients to be dispensed with when these no longer serve their purpose.
In fact, the emphasis in the Shariat is towards slaughtering the kafir prisoners — kafir-slaughter being preferable to having Muslim prisoners released.

 Muslim board to oppose petition challenging Shariat courts - India News - Webindia123.com
The decision to contest the writ petition, scheduled to come up for hearing March 27, was taken by the board at a meeting here late Wednesday, with a detailed reply in favour of the system of alternate dispute resolution (ADR) that is prevalent the world over.
The petition before the apex court, filed by Vishwa Lochan Madan, has argued that Shariat courts were parallel courts functioning outside the purview of the constitution and hence should be nullified by the Muslim board.
On the practice of issuing a fatwa or order, contended by the petitioner as a travesty of administrative justice, Qureshi said it was only an exposition of the mufti or chief in accordance with the provisions in the Shariat and did not amount to coercion.

Javed's former wife Sajida approached the Shariat court, requesting it to persuade him to bring up their daughter after he allegedly went back on his commitment to do so.
