Islam and European legal systems

"The presence of large numbers of Muslims within their borders is a relatively new phenomena for most European states. For these countries Islam is not simply yet another religion which must be accommodated but is, rather, a radically different way of seeing the world which forces liberal states to reassess their own liberalism. This book explores the varying legal reactions throughout Europe to the rise of Islam. Essays on the legal systems of the leading European jurisdictions are complemented by others on general issues arising out of the impact of Islam in Europe on traditional concepts within European legal systems. In assessing how countries do, and should, react to demands from Muslims within their borders the relationship between religion and law at the end of the second Christian millennium is brought into question. The position of Muslims within non-Muslim European states is important not only to Muslims themselves but also to all religious minorities."--BOOK JACKET.
