…now nearly-thousand years of tension (and sometimes open warfare) between Western and Eastern Christendom, a history that’s frequently seen the Catholic Church operate in the role of aggressor or opportunist.

Heaven On Earth: A Non-Hysterical History of Shari’ah

…nated to know how Islamic law has influenced, or shares similarities with, Western legal traditions. That specific link you mention is extremely tenuous—the juries of common law tradition are much more likely to have reached England via the Vikings—but the fact that the Maghreb was using twelve men good and true to decide cases more than a thousand years ago recalls a deeper point.

…ss death sentences, and political exclusionism have made the nation a popular recruiting ground for Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Rather than engage in fantastical discussions about Al-Sisi’s ability to lead an Islamic religious reformation, Western analysts might seek to promote true democratic reformation in Muslim nations and denounce the repression that creates the conditions under which extremists thrive—even if that democratic reformation comes with an…
