Quel est le statut de l’islam au sein de l’espace européen ? À l’heure où le nombre de musulmans en Europe ne cesse de croître, cette question est envisagée sous un angle essentiellement juridique. C’est à travers la question de la légitimité normative de cette religion que des solutions concrètes pourront apparaître en faveur de l’intégration de l’islam minoritaire. Dans un premier temps, l’ouvrage approfondit le statut et les sources du droit musulman à partir d’une analyse des écrits classiques. Ensuite, il analyse les relations entre le droit islamique et l’État, mettant l’accent sur les droits de l’homme. Enfin, il aborde les évolutions récentes du droit islamique. En soulignant l’irrecevabilité de certaines dispositions de ce droit dans le cadre de l’État européen, il laisse entrevoir l’émergence d’une compréhension renouvelée qui intègre le vécu de l’islam d’aujourd’hui.

The status of Islam in Western societies remains deeply contentious. Countering strident claims on both the right and left, Legal Integration of Islam offers an empirically informed analysis of how four liberal democracies-France, Germany, Canada, and the United States-have responded to the challenge of integrating Islam and Muslim populations. Demonstrating the centrality of the legal system to this process, Christian Joppke and John Torpey reject the widely held notion that Europe is incapable of accommodating Islam and argue that institutional barriers to Muslim integration are no greater on one side of the Atlantic than the other. While Muslims have achieved a substantial degree of equality working through the courts, political dynamics increasingly push back against these gains, particularly in Europe. From a classical liberal viewpoint, religion can either be driven out of public space, as in France, or included without sectarian preference, as in Germany. But both policies come at a price-religious liberty in France and full equality in Germany. Often seen as the flagship of multiculturalism, Canada has found itself responding to nativist and liberal pressures as Muslims become more assertive. And although there have been outbursts of anti-Islamic sentiment in the United States, the legal and political recognition of Islam is well established and largely uncontested. Legal Integration of Islam brings to light the successes and the shortcomings of integrating Islam through law without denying the challenges that this religion presents for liberal societies.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams triggered a storm of protest when he suggested that some accommodation between British law and Islam's shari'a law was 'inevitable'. His foundational lecture introduced a series of public discussions on Islam and English Law at the Royal Courts of Justice and the Temple Church in London. This volume combines developed versions of these discussions with new contributions. Theologians, lawyers and sociologists look back on developments since the Archbishop spoke and forwards along trajectories opened by the historic lecture. The contributors provide and advocate a forward-looking dialogue, asking how the rights of all citizens are honoured and their responsibilities met. Twenty specialists explore the evolution of English law, the implications of Islam, shari'a and jihad and the principles of the European Convention on Human Rights, family law and freedom of speech. This book is for anyone interested in the interaction between religion and secular society.
