Abstract
La sharía no puede considerarse ley aplicable en un Estado occidental. A través de una vía institucional (la relación entre ordenamientos jurídicos) la vigencia de la sharía no resulta posible por la falta de autonomía de la Religión y el Derecho en el islam respecto del Estado. A través de una vía personal (el derecho fundamental de libertad religiosa), se concluye que este derecho permite, según la concepción occidental, el libre ejercicio de la Religión. Pero su eficacia jurídica es limitada, y no alcanza a conceder a los creyentes de ninguna confesión la modificación de los preceptos del Derecho español, por el hecho de que contravengan los preceptos de la sharía. Ello iría en contra del propio concepto de libertad religiosa occidental, que incluye la autonomía de las cuestiones temporales respecto de la Religión, y también en contra del principio de igualdad ante la ley. Tanto el principio dualista de la separación entre lo temporal y lo espiritual como el principio de igualdad ante la ley y en la aplicación de la ley forman parte de la identidad cultural occidental. El respeto al pluralismo es también propio de la cultura occidental. Pero el pluralismo no puede llegar a destruir nuestra propia cultura.
It is no possible to consider that the Sharia is applicable in a WesternState. Through an institutional way (the relationship between legal systems) the Sharia's force is not possible as a result of the lack of autonomy of the religion and Law in Islam with regard to the State. Through a personal way (the fundamental right of religious freedom) we can come to the conclusion that this right enables, from the Western perspective, the free exercise of the Religion. However, its legal effectiveness is limited and so it does not let believers of any religion changes Spanish legal rules, even if Sharia rules are infring ed. This behav iour w ould be ag ainst the Western concep t of relig ious freedom, that includes the autonomy in the f ield of secular matters with regard to Relig ion. It w ould also be against the p rincip le of equality before the Law . Both dualist p rincip le about the separation betw een secular and relig ious matters, and the equality p rincip le before the Law and before the ap p lication of the Law are p art of the Western cultural identity. The regard for pluralism is also typical of the Western culture. But pluralism can't destroy our culture.
