Kritik
"Richardson and Turner may claim that sociological accounts of pluralism's various forms constitute theories that help explain the shape and perhaps even the future course of such accommodations. ... an excellent point of entry for any student of contemporary Islamic law and a helpful corrective for any who think that the way Islamic law has been working out in a country with which they are familiar is the way it must develop everywhere." (Lawrence Rosen, Contemporary Islam, Vol. 10, 2016)mehr
