Abstract

This paper will look the Islam, Politics and law as an encapsulated entity of Islamic faith of religion in the West.This paper will also search for the root of Islam in the West, which was flourished long back, but later it was uprooted in the mid fifteen century from the landscape of the West. The paper will also search the reason and issues of reemerging the religion of Islam in the West since the last three decades despite an increase of Islamophobic incidents. Politics is part and parcel of Islam, which is visible in the West countries. In the Western political setup, the law has
been working sturdily and very strict to control any unrest, violence in the name of religion and haltered. The core debate here is whether the politics and law are having close relations with Islam in the West. The new emerging trend in the West is Muslims become more vocal towards Islam and their rights and partly protected in the West.
In Western society, law and politics work separately, but despite the different narratives, they ban Hijab, Burkini, Azaan and issue of ban of Minarets on Mosque by the Swiss government exposed their religious intolerance as well. The most important is law, which shaped in the ambit of Islam in Western Christian majoritarian society, and it still
exists appropriately.
