The shari'a state is not the faith of Islam: shari'a and politicsShari'a between faith and political abuse: the confusion between shari'a and fiqh; The invention of shari'a as a constitution for the Islamic state; The return of the sacred as an Islamist shari'a; Why is the return of shari'a law to politics a challenge?; Shari'a law and democratic rights; The hypothesis of shari'atization of Islam as an obstacle to democratization; Universality of law: the tensions between the shari'atization of Islam and constitutionalism in international law A plea for a reformed Islamic shari'a law in the pursuit of a universal cosmopolitan lawConclusions: shari'atized Islam is not a democratic constitutionalism; 3. The challenge of the Islamist shari'a state to international order: torn between the Westphalian synthesis, Pax Americana and Pax Islamica; Enlightened Muslim thought in an 'enlightened turn' on religion and political order; Great confusions of Islamic orders: the caliphate, pan-Islamism, and Islamist internationalism in the context of a new world order Is the order of a din-wa-dawla Islamocracy an Islamic democracy compatible with democratic world peace?An outline of the major issues: religious faith and religionized politics; Is institutional Islamism a moderation? Or is it a variant of religious fundamentalism?; The world view and ideology of Islamism: origins; The Islamicate: torn between incorporation into the Westphalian synthesis and the vision of a Pax Islamica; Bottom line: the Westphalian synthesis is not Pax Americana; Islamism and the Western triumphalism of 'the end of history' Conclusions: which world order? The Westphalian synthesis, Pax Americana and political Islam in competition. The need for a democratic world peace |
