  To defend itself against a lawsuit by the widows of three American soldiers who died on one of its planes in Afghanistan, a sister company of the private military firm Blackwater has asked a federal court to decide the case using Islamic law, known as Shari’a.

  The article contains this gem:

  Shari’a law does not hold a company responsible for the actions of employees performed within the course of their work.

  What “Shari’a law” holds this view?  Where is this coming from?
