Oppressed in the Land?

Does Islamic law allow Muslims to live under the rule of non-Muslims? Can there be an authentic Islam where the Shari'ah cannot be enforced? This anthology includes translations of some of the key Islamic voices on these issues from the fourteenth century to the present, from medieval Spanish Christians and the Mongol world in the medieval period to the African territories of European empires in the nineteenth century. It ends with a fatwa addressed to Muslims living in the United States at the end of the twentieth century.
