If, as seems possible, Islamic fundamentalism comes to replace as the principal perceived threat to Western reason and democracy, sociolegal scholars may incur a special obligation to analyze the historical processes that constructed the cultural opposition between our supposed rule of law and their imagined religious fanaticism. Law, particularly criminal law but also family law, occupies a central place in the developing opposition between us and them, in contrast to the focus on economic issues that dominated the cultural opposition between communism and the free world. In the coming new world order of nationalist struggles and ethnic confrontations, sociolegal scholars may not be able to remain silent, for if we fail to explore connections between Western and Islamic legal systems, we only contribute to media stereotypes of Islamic law as regressive and feudal and of Islamic political activists as religious fanatics
