The importance of the rule of law is universally recognised and of fundamental value for most societies. Establishing and promoting the rule of law in the Muslim world, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, has become a pressing but complicated issue. These states have Muslim majority populations, and the religion of Islam has an important role in the traditional structures of their societies. While the Muslim world is taking gradual steps towards the establishment of rule of law systems, most Muslim majority countries may not yet have effective legal systems with independent judiciaries, which would allow the state and institutions to be controlled by an effective rule of law system. One important aspect of the rule of law is freedom of expression. Given the sensitivity of Muslim societies in relation to their sacred beliefs, freedom of expression, as an international human rights issue, has raised some controversial cases. This book, drawing on both International and Islamic Law, explores the rule of law, and freedom of expression and its practical application in the Muslim world.

Après Le droit d’emmerder Dieu, éloge du droit au blasphème, Richard Malka revient sur l’origine profonde d’une guerre millénaire au sein de l’Islam : la controverse brûlante sur la nature du Coran. Plus qu’une plaidoirie, ces pages mûries pendant des années questionnent ce qu’il est advenu de l’Islam entre le VIIème et le XIème siècle, déchiré entre raison et soumission. Les radicaux ont gagné, effectuant un tri dans le Coran et les paroles du Prophète, oppressant leurs ennemis – au premier rang desquels les musulmans modérés, les musiciens, artistes, philosophes, libres penseurs, les femmes et minorités sexuelles. Plonger avec passion dans cette cassure au sein d’une religion n’est pas être « islamophobe », c’est regarder l’histoire en face. Traité sur l’intolérance est une méditation puissante, un appel aux islamologues du savoir et de la nuance – pour qu’enfin chacun sache, comprenne, échange, s’exprime.

The relationship between Islamic law and international human rights law has been the subject of considerable, and heated, debate in recent years. The usual starting point has been to test one system by the standards of the other, asking is Islamic law 'compatible' with international human rights standards, or vice versa. This approach quickly ends in acrimony and accusations of misunderstanding. By overlaying one set of norms on another we overlook the deeply contextual nature ofhow legal rules operate in a society, and meaningful comparison and discussion is impossible.In this volume, leading
