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 …

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 …

Islamic Principles Governing International Trade Financing Instruments: A Study Of The Morabaha In English Law, Jason C. T. Chuah
Islamic Principles Governing International Trade Financing Instruments: A Study Of The Morabaha In English Law, Jason C. T. Chuah
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The past years have seen a clear and incontrovertible rise in the use of international financial and commercial instruments expressed to be governed by Islamic principles. Banks and other commercial entities in Islamic and non-Islamic countries are increasingly aware of the commercial need to offer services which are specifically tailored to meet this sector of the international market. Disputes over the interpretation and application of such instruments invariably arise. English courts are not insulated from such disputes, given that the City of London is at the forefront of many international commercial and financial dealings. As a matter of law, the …
