Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.6MB
Overview: A Documentary History of Sharia’s Political Ambitions
In Sharia Versus Freedom, Andrew G. Bostom compiles a sweeping collection of essays, translations, and historical documents to demonstrate how Islamic law (Sharia) is fundamentally at odds with modern liberal values. Through voices ranging from 19th-century scholars to modern ex-Muslims, the book reveals Sharia’s deeply theocratic, authoritarian, and illiberal nature.
The Totalitarian Legacy of Islamic Law
Bostom argues that the core tenets of Sharia law are inseparable from the expansionist, supremacist ideology found in Islam’s formative texts. He explores the impact of these doctrines on governance, human rights, women’s status, and freedom of conscience. Featuring contributions from Bat Ye’or, Ibn Warraq, and other dissident thinkers, the volume dismantles apologetic myths surrounding “moderate Islam.”
A Defense of Secular Liberties
This anthology serves not just as a historical record but as a moral and philosophical challenge to multicultural complacency. It urges readers—and policymakers—to confront the consequences of tolerating illiberal ideologies in liberal societies. Both timely and uncompromising, the book defends the Enlightenment legacy against a persistent totalitarian threat.
