This innovative and important book applies classical Sunni Muslim
legal and religious doctrine to contemporary issues surrounding
armed conflict. In doing so it shows that the shari'a and Islamic
law are not only compatible with contemporary international human
rights law and international humanitarian law norms, but are
appropriate for use in Muslim societies. By grounding contemporary
post-conflict processes and procedures in classical Muslim legal
and religious doctrine, it becomes more accessible to Muslim
societies who are looking for appropriate legal mechanisms to deal
with the aftermath of armed conflict. This book uniquely presents a
critique of the violent practices of contemporary Muslims and
Muslim clerics who support these practices. It rebuts Islamophobes
in the West that discredit Islam on the basis of the abhorrent
practices of some Muslims, and hopes to reduce tensions between
Western and Islamic civilizations by enhancing common understanding
of the issues.
