註釋Islam in the West has a poor press and in the popular mind is associated with religious extremism and medieval attitudes to human rights, particularly those of women. But this is no more an accurate reflection of the teachings and traditions of Islam than similar extremist positions are a reflection of Christianity. Indeed, the overriding objectives of sharia are generally held by Muslim scholars to be the promotion of fairness and equality, prosperity and human dignity, the maintenance of good government that consults the people, and moral education. There is a vigorous Islmaic tradition of political and religious freedom and these ideas heavily influenced the Christian theologians of the early Middle Ages.
