Sharia — BBC article

The first of several references under Further Reading:
Islam: A Sacred Law: What Every Muslim Should Know About the Shariah, Feisal Abdul Rauf, Kazi Pubns. ISBN: 0939660709

I’ve not read his book, but I understand that he promoted it (his book, and presumably Sharia) as a guest speaker at the 2009 Hisb-ul-tahrir conference.

Perhaps he was attempting to de-radicalize the folk there?
