In Islam, the term "Shariat" is often used to mean the system of ordinances as given in the Koran. The Shariat justice (шариатский суд) is therefore a justice system based on Islam ordinances. So the sentence should be translated: The head of Shariat court of Ichkeria (=Chechnya)

Was it in Koran? I doubt it. Literally, it means "the law of the street"
(Shari'a is an arabic for the street, and means like people's law in Islamic counties.

Of Russia? Lol, I think that goes without saying, doesn't it?

[sinapis-alba.livejournal.com]

I added that "just in case". Some foreigners have VERY strange ideas about Russia. (From my own experience) ;-)
