الدين والدولة وتطبيق الشريعة

Religion, State and the Application of Sharia takes up one of the central questions in modern Arab political thought: how religion relates to the authority of the state, and what it means to put Islamic law into practice in a contemporary society. The book examines the arguments that have been made on each side, weighing the claims of those who call for sharia to govern public life against the demands of a modern state. Written from within the Arab intellectual tradition, it approaches these questions as matters of political thought and of the practical choices that societies must face.
