The unfamiliar abode: islamic law in the united states and britain

Kathleen Moore explores the development of new forms of Islamic law and legalreasoning in the US and Great Britain, as well the Muslims encountering Anglo-American common law and its unfamiliar commitments to pluralism and participation, and to gender, family, and identity. The underlying context is the aftermath of 9/11 and 7/7, the two attacks that arguably recast the way the West views Muslims and Islam.
