Using the case study of Malaysia, Constituting Religion examines how these legal arrangements enable litigation and feed th…

Applying Shari'a in the West : facts, fears and the future of Islamic rules o…
This volume provides new insights in the concept of shari’a in the West, and sets out a framework of how shari’a in the West can be studied.
