    Elham Manea is the author of the non fiction book Ich will nicht Schweigen: Der Islam, Der Westen und die Menschenrechte (2009), Freiburg: Herder Verlag.[4] The book is based on a series she wrote in Arabic about humanistic Islam and women’s rights.
    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.
