Whether from the perspective of Islamic law's advocates,
secularism's partisans, or communities caught in their crossfire,
many people see the relationship between Islamic law and secularism
as antagonistic and increasingly discordant. In the United States
there are calls for "sharia bans" in the courts, in western Europe
legal limitations have been imposed on mosques and the wearing of
headscarves, and in the Arab Middle East conflicts between
secularist old guards and Islamist revolutionaries
persist-suggesting that previously unsteady coexistences are
transforming into outright hostilities. Jeffrey Redding's
exploration of India's non-state system of Muslim dispute
resolution-known as the dar-ul-qaza system and commonly referred to
as "Muslim courts" or "shariat courts"-challenges conventional
narratives about the inevitable opposition between Islamic law and
secular forms of governance, demonstrating that Indian secular law
and governance cannot work without the significant assistance of
non-state Islamic legal actors.
