Fiqh al-aqalliyyat : History, Development, and Progress (Palgrave Series in Islamic Theology, Law, and History)

This book examines the development of a contemporary internal debate among Muslim minorities living in Western Europe and North America to establish a specific form of Islamic jurisprudence. Fiqh al-aqalliyyat attempts to strike a balance between Muslim's religious commitments and their civic identity as citizens in Western liberal states.
