Shariah Sources

The Team B II Report, Shariah: The Threat to America, is based on authoritative
sources on shariah, or Islamic law. A special emphasis was placed on finding sources
written by Muslims for fellow Muslims. As most of the world’s Muslims do not speak or
read classical Arabic, a great deal of effort has been made to faithfully translate the
canonical texts of shariah to make them accessible to English-speaking Muslims.

Most of the classic texts can be purchased online at Amazon.com
or at local mosque bookstores in the United States.
