Law Courts V. Sahri‘a Courts: Giurisprudenza inglese e Islam europeo

Abstract

The Old Continent comes to terms with Sharia. Tension is growing between the sacred law of Islam and the centuries-old European law. The recent recognition of private fora of Islamic justice in Europe generates negative responses on a substantive level. And general skepticism increases. The choices of governments such as the British one are relevant in the troubled European landscape, already affected by the "Islamic question" in the forms of Europe's Sharia Debate
