The Government of Israel decided to lend support to the Muslim community by concentrating its activities in three spheres: (a) the networks of 'Sharia' (Muslim religious courts) jurisdiction by attempting to accelerate the qualifying of reliable judges; (b) organizing religious facilities for the Muslim population, including guarding holy places, maintaining mosques and cemeteries, organizing the administration of religious functionaries, and establishing education, welfare and health projects; (c) setting up of Muslim committees for religious matters in the towns. The independence and tenure of Muslim religious judges (Qadis) have been established under the Qadis Act 5721-1961 (L.S.I, vol. 15, p. 123) on the lines laid down for rabbinical judges. The Qadis are appointed by the President of the State upon nomination of a committee composed of the Minister of Religious Affairs and one other member of the Cabinet, two Qadis to be elected by all Qadis in office, three members of Parliament of whom two at least must be Muslims, to be chosen by Parliament, and two advocates, of whom one at least must be a Muslim, to be chosen by the Chamber of Advocates. A Qadi is appointed for life, subject to compulsory retirement at the age of seventy and subject to the right of the President of State to remove him for misconduct, when a disciplinary court composed of the senior Qadi in office, an advocate appointed by the Chamber of Advocates, and a third member appointed by the Minister of Religious Affairs, have found him guilty of such misconduct and recommended his removal from office.
