This video is about her most recent work..."Islamic Law in the West: the Essentialists. Based on her research in the Middle East and Britain, she criticizes a paradigm of thinking with four specific features, the Essentialist Paradigm, which calls for introducing Islamic law in Western legal systems ignoring citizen/human/women rights and political consequences.
