I realize that a question like this will tempt some people to carte blanche slam Western democracy, but if we can put our political commentary aside...
I'm doing a bit of research and trying to find books about life under sharia law (think Taliban-era Afghanistan), especially as it concerns non-Muslims. Not living near a major research library, and not sure where to start online searching for more academic, objective sources, I thought I'd throw the question out here. Any books you could point me to would be appreciated.
Tulus, what about the accounts of any non-Muslims who've had to work and/or live under sharia while they have been in certain countries? And surely there are journalists or other objective writers who can offer an unvarnished account of life under such law. What was it like for Westerners living or doing business in Afghanistan during the rule of the Taliban?
Thank you for that information, Phoenix. I will check out that author.
Q, I am familiar with Norm Geisler, although most of his books that I've read have had to do with cult apologetics. I will see what he's written on Islam as well. I've also perused CARM's site before and I'll check it out again. Likewise with the Christian Research Institute (equip.org). However, I'm looking not merely for research articles per se, but articles by people who have actually lived under sharia.
