Summary, etc. | Muslims are present in Europe since the early Middle Ages. Muslim culture once<br/>flourished in Andalusia, Sicily, the Balkan and other European regions. A widespread<br/>fruitful exchange between Muslims, Jews and Christians contributed to scientific,<br/>economic and cultural progress in Europe. Nevertheless, in many cases and over<br/>centuries the encounter between European Christian and Muslim was overshadowed<br/>by hostility and warfare. The Muslim conquest of European territory as well as the<br/>re-conquest and the colonial expansion of Europe created fear and an antagonist<br/>perception of the respective “other”.<br/>Thus, both the existence of Muslim individuals and minority groups under European<br/>Christian rule and the existence of non-Muslims under Muslim rule were perceived<br/>as an exceptional case at best. In our days, the situation has changed fundamentally.<br/>In Europe, millions of Muslims are living in secular democratic states by their own<br/>choice, contributing to the societies they are living in and forming now a new part of<br/>European identity. European secular legal orders grant them religious freedom and<br/>equal rights. Nevertheless, certain challenges for both Muslims and European legal<br/>orders should not be neglected. Certainly, freedom of religion and equality before the<br/>law prevent legislation and administration from any religious bias. But current legal<br/>institutions were developed in a concrete historical and social framework,<br/>Christianity playing a major if not crucial role in this regard. The legal integration of<br/>Islam, being much less institutionalised than Christianity or Judaism, has become a<br/>challenge for European legal orders. They have to find ways for granting the full<br/>range of rights to Muslim individuals and groups by re-reading the existing rules<br/>without touching their validity as such.<br/>This book discusses the above issues and tries to find out answers for questions like<br/>does Shari'a contain intrinsic instruments to develop rules in consistence with this<br/>binding legal framework? Are Muslims defining themselves as being a minority living<br/>in the Diaspora? Are there perspectives for them to actively participate in societal<br/>institutions, based on a self-understanding of simply being an integral part of the<br/>societies they are living in? |
