This text is focused on the effects Islamic Law and Religion exert on the individual. It is not intended to be a work of scholarship or an exhaustive topical examination of Islamic doctrine. It is intended to be of sufficient depth to familiarize analysts and investigators with the doctrinal themes and drivers that may underlie street behavior and influence investigations that are overlooked or ignored by Criminal Justice writers. This is a handbook for practitioners, a tool needed by analysts and investigators.
