The Influential Legacy Of Dutch Islamic Policy On The Formation Of Zakat (Alms) Law In Modern Indonesia, Arskal Salim
The Influential Legacy Of Dutch Islamic Policy On The Formation Of Zakat (Alms) Law In Modern Indonesia, Arskal Salim
Washington International Law Journal
This article attempts to trace the influence of the colonial legacy in the formation of zakat (alms) policy in modern Indonesia. The article argues that the influence of the Dutch Islamic policy has gradually diminished as the process of Islamization of Indonesia has deepened. As early as the 19th century, Snouck Hurgronje played a key role in developing the Dutch zakat policy, which focused on the colonial government preventing the payment of zakat from being compulsory. During the first two decades after Indonesia's independence in 1945, the zakat policy as derived from colonial times continued without much change. However, by …

Separation Of Church And State In The United States: Lost In Translation, Carol J. Greenhouse
Separation Of Church And State In The United States: Lost In Translation, Carol J. Greenhouse
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article, the absence of an American equivalent to the French word laĭcité becomes an ethnographic opening to an exploration of the church-state divide in the U.S. context. Drawing on classic social theory, sociological accounts, and current events, I suggest that the constitutional separation of church and state-in addition to whatever it may mean in legal terms-also expresses a cultural proposition. Specifically, the separation of church and state posits a dual role for local communities as both the source of federal power (through representative government) and the foundation of its moral authority. The latter role can be sustained only …
Secularization, Religiosity, And The United States Constitution, Christopher L. Eisgruber
Secularization, Religiosity, And The United States Constitution, Christopher L. Eisgruber
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This article draws upon leading works in the sociology of religion to assess what I shall call "the secularization claim" regarding the United States. It endeavors, in particular to clarify the possible meanings of "secularization,"and then to use these conceptual refinements to examine what sort of evidence exists that the United States has been secularized. Though it is not possible to falsify every version of the secularization claim, there is little evidence to support it, especially in its most prominent and politically relevant variations. The article then goes on to offer a preliminary analysis of to what extent, if any, …
Church And State In The United States: Competing Conceptions And Historic Changes, Douglas Laycock
Church And State In The United States: Competing Conceptions And Historic Changes, Douglas Laycock
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This article, originally written for a French audience, attempts to explain the American law of church and state from the ground up, assuming no background information. Basic legal provisions are explained. The relevant American history is periodized in three alignments of religious conflict: Protestant-Protestant, Protestant-Catholic, and religious-secular. Some frequently heard concepts are explained, distinguished, and related to each other-separation, voluntarism, equality, formal and substantive neutrality, liberty, toleration, and state action. Finally, the principal disputes over religious liberty are assessed in three broad areas-funding of religiously affiliated activities, religious speech (with and without government sponsorship), and regulation of religious practice. These …
Religious Exemptions, Formal Neutrality, And Laïcité, Frederick Mark Gedicks
Religious Exemptions, Formal Neutrality, And Laïcité, Frederick Mark Gedicks
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Rights to free exercise in the United States are governed by a doctrine of formal neutrality, which seems to resemble the French doctrine of la'cit6. This resemblance tempts one to conclude that the doctrinal regimes of religious liberty in the United States and France are also essentially the same. Despite their superficial resemblance, however formal neutrality and laĭcité generate regimes of religious liberty that are substantially, even radically, different. Notwithstanding conceptually similar organizing principles, there is a significant difference in the substance of religious liberty in the United States and France owing to very different conceptions of the proper role …
Why Religion In Politics Does Not Violate La Conception Américaine De La Laïcité, Michael J. Perry
Why Religion In Politics Does Not Violate La Conception Américaine De La Laïcité, Michael J. Perry
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
La conception Am6ricaine de la Laĭcité consists principally of a constitutional norm-the nonestablishment norm-and of the laW that the U.S. Supreme Court has developed in the course of enforcing the norm. The nonestablishment norm forbids government-both the national government and state government-to "establish" religion. American laYcit6 also consists of what we may call "the morality of liberal democracy. " My aim in this essay is to explain why religion in politics does not violate American laYcit6; more specifically, my aim is to explain why political reliance on religiously grounded morality violates neither the nonestablishment norm nor the morality of liberal …
Religious Expression And Symbolism In The American Constitutional Tradition: Government Neutrality, But Not Indifference, Daniel O. Conkle
Religious Expression And Symbolism In The American Constitutional Tradition: Government Neutrality, But Not Indifference, Daniel O. Conkle
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article, I describe and analyze three principles of First Amendment doctrine. First, the Establishment Clause generally forbids governmental expression that has the purpose or effect of promoting or endorsing religion. Second, and conversely, private religious expression is broadly defined and is strongly protected by the Free Speech Clause. Third, as an implicit exception to the first principle, the government itself is sometimes permitted to engage in expression that seemingly does promote and endorse religion, but only when the expression is noncoercive, nonsectarian, and embedded within (or at least in harmony with) longstanding historical tradition. Comparing these three principles …
The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act Of 2000 And Its Effect On Eleventh Circuit Law, Christina Harrison Schnizler
The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act Of 2000 And Its Effect On Eleventh Circuit Law, Christina Harrison Schnizler
Mercer Law Review
The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 ("RLUIPA") was enacted by Congress in response to the Supreme Court overruling the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 ("RFRA") and as an extension of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act. RLUIPA is intended "to protect religious liberty" and prohibits discrimination based on religion in two areas: land use regulations and religious rights for institutionalized persons. Generally, the religious land use provisions prevent state and local governments from creating improper zoning restrictions that unduly prohibit religious organizations from holding meetings, locating in a specific area, or expanding their current …

Islamic Arbitration: A New Path For Interpreting Islamic Legal Contracts, Charles P. Trumbull
Islamic Arbitration: A New Path For Interpreting Islamic Legal Contracts, Charles P. Trumbull
Vanderbilt Law Review
Muslims living in a secular, liberal democratic state face a fundamental dilemma: reconciling the obligation to live according to Shari'a with their civic duty to follow secular laws. Muslims attempt to resolve this dilemma in a number of ways. Some enter public office and try to influence the generally applicable laws of their country. Others advocate greater legal pluralism, thus allowing Muslims to settle certain disputes under Islamic law. In Canada, for example, the Islamic Institute for Civil Justice ("IICJ") announced plans to create Shari'a tribunals and claimed that it would begin arbitrating family and commercial disputes according to Islamic …

Zoned Secular: Seattle's Prohibition Of New Religious Facilities In Industrial Zones Violates The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act's "Equal Terms" Rule, Daniel Kirkpatrick
Zoned Secular: Seattle's Prohibition Of New Religious Facilities In Industrial Zones Violates The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act's "Equal Terms" Rule, Daniel Kirkpatrick
Washington Law Review
The "equal terms" rule of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) prohibits federal, state, and local governments from enacting land use regulations that place religious assemblies or institutions on less than equal terms with nonreligious assemblies or institutions. The plain language of RLUIPA makes it clear that the equal terms rule prohibits unequal treatment of religious assemblies and institutions as compared to non-religious assemblies and institutions. RLUIPA's legislative history further reveals that Congress enacted the equal terms rule to counter zoning laws that favor secular assemblies and institutions over religious assemblies and institutions. Accordingly, federal courts have …

The Usa Patriot Act: A Policy Of Alienation, Kam C. Wong
The Usa Patriot Act: A Policy Of Alienation, Kam C. Wong
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article provides a brief overview of how Muslims were treated after 9/11. It documents how the USAPA and related measures have been used to monitor, investigate, detain, and deport Muslim U.S. citizens in violation of their civil rights. Of particular importance, is how the life circumstances of the Muslims in America have changed for the worse as a result of zealous enforcement and discriminatory application of the USAPA. In so doing, this Article seeks to provide concrete facts and a rich context to ascertain the implications of 9/11 on American society.
