Description
"Shari'a is the code of conduct in Islam, but what does it really mean? British-based civil rights lawyer Kadri explains how legal ideas gradually emerged in Islam, how shari'a is practiced in different countries today, and how in the last decades it has been appropriated by extremists to the detriment of everyone."--Library Journal.
