Is Niger a " Sharia State" as the BBC correspondent Linda Pressly seems to think (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4220038.stm) ? — iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 00:49, 28 September 2005 (UTC) reply

Should we have a category for the states in Nigeria that have " Sharia" as state law? — iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 00:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC) reply

Personally, I think categories with 3 or more properties, such as "American blind jazz pianists", don't really serve the purpose of a category anymore (to be able to find something when you have forgotten its exact name). "Nigerian Shariah States" would be such a category. In such cases, a list is more convenient, in my opinion. Riki 17:01, 28 September 2005 (UTC) reply
