Fiqh al-Aqalliyyat: A Legal Theory for Muslim Minorities by Shammai Fishman Published on October 19th, 2006 Fiqh al-Aqalliyyat (the fiqh, or jurisprudence, of Muslim minorities) is a legal doctrine introduced in the 1990s by two prominent Muslim religious figures, Shaykh Dr. Taha Jabir al-Alwani of Virginia, and Shaykh Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi of Qatar. This doctrine asserts that Muslim minorities, especially those residing in the West, deserve a special new legal discipline to address their unique religious needs, which differ from those of Muslims residing in Islamic countries.

Jihad Ideology in Light of Contemporary Fatwas by Shmuel Bar Published on August 15th, 2006 The rise of the modern Islamist jihad movement in the last two decades of the 20th century has coincided with the rise of a growing body of fatwas that declare jihad as a legal religious obligation and define clear guidelines for the waging of jihad. These fatwas therefore provide moral and legal sanction for acts of terrorism.
