Can
Shari'ah Be
Accommodated In the West?
Muneer
Fareed The rapid growth
of Muslim populations in Western countries has spurned much discussion
and debate about the role of religious law in secular systems.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, suggested in
a 2008 speech that the shari'ah may very well have to be accommodated
in the United Kingdom. This controversial comment, along with
the firestorm of criticism that ensued, served as the inspiration
for this speech by Muneer Fareed about the prospect of shari'ah
in the West. Dr. Fareed seeks to sort out the many complicated
issues involved in this relevant and contentious topic. What
exactly is the shari'ah and how is it commonly misunderstood?
What aspects of shari'ah are already being implemented in the
West? Is shari'ah compatible with religious plurality? And how
does the average person deal with the issue of radicalization
of the shari'ah by some Muslims. A highly intellectual and thought-provoking
lecture that analyzes Islamic law within the context of the ever-expanding
global village and the implications it may have on the existing
social structure. Other topics discussed: freedom within the
shari'ah, Islamic law regarding women and homosexuals, ignoring
context when comparing women's rights, and the prospect of shari'ah
as a benefit to American society. (Duration: 1 hour, 11 min)
