520 _a"In this revised and updated edition, Ann Elizabeth Mayer critically assesses various human rights schemes that employ Islamic formulas to dilute or eliminate the protections afforded by international human rights law. She discusses how these schemes reflect current debates in Muslim societies about how the Islamic legal heritage relates to international human rights law. Challenging stereotypes about a supposedly monolithic Islam inherently incompatible with human rights, Mayer discusses the political motives behind the selective use of elements of the Islamic tradition by conservative groups who oppose Muslim's aspirations to enjoy human rights." --Book Jacket.
