The worldwide spread of extreme Shari'a law. The book argues that since the 1980s Muslim coun- tries have started replacing their laws with extreme and barbarous 'sha- ria'. On the basis of seven country studies it claims that sharia, as it has been applied in those countries, undercuts legal systems, frequently employs cruel punishments, threatens Muslims who are not part of the dominant group, and reduces women to secondary status. All states. where such laws have been imposed, it says, produce terrorism (Marshall 2005: 15). In the foreword former CIA director James Woolsey promises: 'We will win this current long war [...] by defeating the Islamist ideology."  a27245/MKRI-P/I-2023
