Can A Modern Islamic State Grow Out Of Shari'a Law?
Western powers say terrorists use it to justify crimes. But that isn't stopping Islamist politicians from winning elections on its platforms.

Feldman talks with Larry about the history of Shari'a law and the renewed promise it could hold for Muslims and Westerners alike.
