ELI5: Sharia Law and it's impact on society.
gpt
Sharia is simply the moral and religious code of Islam. Most religions have some set of rules that govern how its members should behave -- for example Judaism has strict dietary rules, Christians and Jews are both bound by the Ten Commandments, and so on.

Some countries have no official separation of "church" and state, in fact some countries have in their constitution that they are officially members of a particular religion (for example the constitution of Poland places Christianity as a core feature of that country). So in some countries which are largely muslim they might have elements of Sharia as part of their legal system. All this means is that they look to the Koran and other Islamic texts for moral and legal guidance, in the same way that many European and Americans look to the Bible for their moral beliefs.
