The conflict extends into many aspects of daily life, ranging from issues concerning divorce and child custody to the interpretation of contracts. The receptivity of U.S. courts to claims rooted in Islamic legal principles has been uneven, leaving Muslims in a state of uncertainty. As well, U.S. courts have often struggled to interpret Islamic law provisions. 410 0$aLaw and Society 606 $aIslamic law$zUnited States 606 $aMuslims$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aJustice, Administration of (Islamic law) 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zUnited States 606 $aJihad 606 $aTerrorism$zUnited States$xPrevention 615 0$aIslamic law 615 0$aMuslims$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aJustice, Administration of (Islamic law) 615 0$aJustice, Administration of 615 0$aJihad. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention. 676 $a340.5/9 700 $aHanshaw$b Mark E.$f1964-$01503413 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781347503321 996 $aMuslim and American$93731784 997 $aUNINA
