Many of these debates assume an inherent conflict between constitutional Islam and 'secular' values of liberal democracy and human rights. Using case studies from several Muslim-majority states, this book surveys the history and role of Islam in constitutions. Tracing the origins of constitutional Islam, Dawood Ahmed and Muhammad Zubair Abbasi argue that colonial history and political bargaining were pivotal factors in determining whether a country adopted Islam, and not secularism, in its constitution. Contrary to the common contention that the constitutional incorporation of Islam is generally antithetical to human rights, Ahmed and Abbasi also show that Islam has not only been popularly demanded and introduced into constitutions during periods of 'democratisation' and 'modernisation', but also that constitutional Islamisation has frequently been accompanied by an expansion in constitutional human rights"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z Islamic countries. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Islamic countries. 650 0 $a Constitutional law (Islamic law) 650 0 $a Law $z Islamic countries $x Islamic influences. 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Constitutional law (Islamic law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875848 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Law $x Islamic influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993761 651 7 $a Islamic countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244130 700 1 $a Abbasi, Muhammad Zubair, $d 1982- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ahmed, Dawood I. $t Democracy under god $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, [2022?] $z 9781316662618 $w (DLC) 2022035607 830 0 $a Comparative constitutional law and policy 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010824.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C61D08E2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
