DESCRIPTION:Part of the Islamic Awareness Series 2008 @ Stanford\n\nTHE JIHAD TO 
 REFORM:  THE STRUGGLE TO DEFINE OUR FAITH \n\n\nLaying Down the Shariah 
 Law: Democracy or Theocracy? \nDr. Sherman Jackson \nSunday February 10, 
 2008  \nKresge Auditorium \nDr. Sherman Jackson, professor of Islamic 
 Studies at the University of Michigan, will discuss whether Shari'ah (the 
 Islamic legal system and code of conduct and religious practice), is 
 compatible at all with Western values such as pluralism, democracy, 
 secularism, and human rights. As the Muslim world sees an increasing rise 
 in Islamic activism and fidelity to Islamic scripture, a critical 
 assessment of the theoretical and practical implications of such fidelity 
 is of paramount importance. This discourse concerning the basics, 
 significance, and role of Islamic legal theory, and its relation to the 
 values of modernity, is one that can no longer be ignored.  \n
