The relationship between Islamic law and international human rights law has been the
subject of considerable, and heated, debate in recent years. The usual starting point
has been to test one system by the standards of the other, asking is Islamic law 'compatible'
with international human rights standards, or vice versa. This approach quickly ends
in acrimony and accusations of misunderstanding. By overlaying one set of norms on
another we overlook the deeply contextual nature of how legal rules operate in a society,
and meaningful comparison and discussion is impossible. In this volume, leading experts
in Islamic law and international human rights law attempt to deepen the understanding
of human rights and Islam, paving the way for a more meaningful debate. Focusing on
central areas of controversy, such as freedom of speech and religion, gender equality,
and minority rights, the authors examine the contextual nature of how Islamic law
and international human rights law are legitimately formed, interpreted, and applied
within a community. They examine how these fundamental interests are recognized and
protected within the law, and what restrictions are placed on the freedoms associated
with them. -- Jacket
