This was a very informative lecture which really bridges the gap between false media and truth.

In your lecture you answered a question where you stated that Shariah provides a diverse look as opposed to hegemonic power. Now I wasn't sure if you were talking about ideologies being hegemonic or a specific nation like the US which seems to try to be the one superpower. Besides this point if you look at the creed of Islam and the history, wouldn't Islam be classified as the hegemonic since in the Qu'ran it tells you that Allah (swt)says shariah law should be implemented and spread until everyone follows? Meaning Islam would have to be followed everywhere, which is why the Khilafah spread so rapidly during its rule.

Another comment I would like to make is during the part where you were discussing about the punishment of homosexuals and viewpoints of homosexuals, I felt you did a good job in answering this question but felt it would have been more efficient in detailing that a person can be a homosexual under Islamic law but homosexual acts are not allowed under Islam (Public). So like you reiterated that you knew muslims who were homosexual.To make that aspect more clearer a bit more explanation was needed to address, that some people may be attracted to the opposite sex but they should not act upon their desires.

For my last question I was wondering what do you feel are the proper methods to go about implementing shariah? Is it possible for muslims to join governments and work within the structure to establish a unified goal for shariah?
