How do we evaluate proposals for a particularly 'Islamic' conceptualisation of human rights?'No-one could doubt the quality of her research and her scholarship'Peter Hinchcliffe''This is a valuable and original addition to a debate which is gathering pace among both Muslims and Western analysts of the region'Roger Hardy, Royal Institute of International Affairs
