Shariah: What Everyone Needs to Know(r)Most Americans and Europeans have by now heard of Shariah.

Most Americans and Europeans have by now heard of Shariah. In the West, politicians, media commentators, televangelists, and others have stoked fears that Muslims intend to impose a repressive rule based on Shariah in America and Europe. Shariah has been portrayed as a medieval system that oppresses women, stifles human rights, and imposes harsh punishments like stoning and amputation. In reality, however, Shariah is a complex concept that has been interpreted in many ways over time and around the world. It plays a vital role in the lives of Muslims around the world, offering guidance on everything from personal morality to ritual practices, family life, and finance.

In this timely addition to Oxford's What Everyone Needs to Know(R) series, John Esposito and Natana DeLong-Bas offer an accessible and thorough guide to this little-understood, but often caricatured system. The book provides clear and even-handed answers to a wide range of questions, covering the history, development, content, and practice of Shariah. What are its origins? What is a Shariah court and how does it work? How does a person become a Muslim in the eyes of Islamic law? Does Islamic law allow Muslims to marry non-Muslims? What are blasphemy laws, and how are they enforced? How does Islamic law govern trade and contracts of sale? Do Muslims in the West want Shariah Law? Is there a need to protect American and European societies from the imposition of Shariah?

By answering the questions that so many people have about Shariah and its role in Muslim life, this book makes an invaluable contribution to the crucial task of fostering mutual understanding in our globalizing, pluralistic societies.

This is a nice paper towel holder. I keep it on my counter and it looks great. Its easy to use although I haven't tried it one handed. I like it and I think it was a good price. It was very heavy and works great.

Great and Useful
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Silver
This is a great and very functional paper towel holder. It is heavy enough to stay where you put it and the tension arm holds the paper towels really well so that you can actually tear one off with one hand. There is a ring on the top of the holder so, if you have two hands free you could hold on to that for stablizing the holder but it really isn't necessary because it stays in place really well. The only advise I would give is to be sure that the next paper towel on the roll is a bit past the tension arm so that you don't have to adjust the roll to get the arm to hold the next towel. This is a great invention and I'm so happy that I have found it.

Love the black, it matches my kitchen well. Very sturdy, more so than the Simple Human one that the tension arm broke. A very good product.

Passed (my) test: 4/5
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Black
I used to have a paper holder affixed to the wall. Obviously, it was stable but not always delivering the size of paper towel that we expected. After redoing my kitchen backsplash that I didn’t want to pierce through just yet, i decided to go for an countertop paper towel holder, and i picked this one (in black) Reviews were decent and i liked that it has an “arm” to hold the paper. So, i put it to the test (see video) Here are my conclusions: 1) Solid built and weighted at the bottom + rubber to prevent the holder from moving around while pulling the paper 👍🏼 2) out of five trials at pulling the paper, i only had one fail (see video) which is still a better ratio than with my wall holder. 👍🏼 3) There are probably cheaper holders on the market, but most of them are not stable and require two hands to pull paper. This one is easy of use with only one hand which is useful while cooking. 4) i like that this holder comes in different colors, to match the kitchen decoration. 5) The hook at the top of the holder is convenient to carry the holder out of the kitchen, to the dining table for example.
