This book analyzes the implication of secular/liberal values in
Western and human rights law and its impact on Muslim women. It
offers an innovative reading of the tension between the religious
and secular spheres. The author does not view the two as binary
opposites. Rather, she believes they are twin categories that
define specific forms of lives as well as a specific notion of
womanhood. This divergence from the usual dichotomy opens the doors
for a reinterpretation of secularism in contemporary Europe. This
method also helps readers to view the study of religion vs.
secularism in a new light. It allows for a better understanding of
the challenges that contemporary Europe now faces regarding the
accommodation of different religious identities. For instance, one
entire section of the book concerns the practice of veiling and
explores the contentious headscarf debate. It features case studies
from Germany, France, and the UK. In addition, the analysis
combines a wide range of disciplines and employs an integrated,
comparative, and inter-disciplinary approach. The author
successfully brings together arguments from different fields with a
comparative legal and political analysis of Western and Islamic law
and politics. This innovative study appeals to students and
researchers while offering an important contribution to the debate
over the role of religion in contemporary secular Europe and its
impact on women's rights and gender equality.
