Aljaž and Tiemo venture into Africa and take a look at religion and the laws and ideas that may come with it. More specifically, the application of Sharia Criminal law in Nigeria, which has faced criticism for its human rights abuses is analysed. Nigeria prides itself as being a State which functions with an almost even split between Muslims and Christians by ensuring the separation of church and state via its constitution. Yet the lines are becoming blurry and the question of does Sharia law conflict with such clause must be addressed. The episode drifts to a more general discussion of religion in politics and in law, not only in Africa, but also in Europe and the US focusing on what can we learn from current events and what this may mean for the future.
