Penerapan syari’at Islam belum sesuai dengan prinsip dan tujuannya; arah penerapannya cendrung politis dan simbolik. Hanya sebatas pada hal- hal yang bersifat fisik dan belum menyeluruh dalam kehidupan masyarakat, sedangkan substansinya belum juga terwujud dalam kehidupan yang nyata dalam masyarakat. Kehidupan masyarakat di Kota Banda Aceh tidak jauh berbeda dan tidak terjadi perubahan sikap masyarakat yang siknifikan sebelum dan sesudah penerapan syari’at Islam.
