SHARIAsource is a new initiative based at Harvard Law School and supported by Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society to build credible resources, discussions, and analyses regarding Islamic law (sharia). As Islam becomes increasingly more prominent in the world today, understanding legal thought in the Islamic world is becoming more relevant for journalists, policy makers, and academics concerned with issues ranging from free expression and gender equality to banking, trade, and security. SHARIAsource is global in scope, and will address topics related to Islamic law as they appear in the U.S., and around the world, from Nigeria, Iran, and Iraq to Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This grant will support a series of discrete initiatives aimed at developing and disseminating relevant information and analyses that will inform on-going public discussion of Islamic law and its relationship to public policy in areas such as Islamic views of blasphemy and how that affects freedom of expression principle and practice in non-Islamic countries, Sharia and criminal law, and Islamic banking and finance, and how that affects trade agreements.
