Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Rule of Law Freedom of Expression and Islamic Law by Professor Hossein Esmaeili Irmgard Marboe Professor Javaid Rehman
The importance of the rule of law is universally recognised and of fundamental value to most societies. Establishing and promoting the rule of law in the Muslim world has become a pressing but complicated issue. 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 as well as freedom of expression and its practical application in the Muslim world.
