“The Threat of Civilizational Jihad: A Legal Update”
Read The New York Times’ front-page profile on David Yerushalmi
Considered an expert on Islamic law and its intersection with Islamic terrorism and national security, David Yerushalmi authored the principal critical scholarship on sharia-compliant finance, published in the Utah Law Review (2008, Issue 3). Yerushalmi also designed and co-authored a ground-breaking peer reviewed investigation on sharia-adherence and the promotion of violent, jihadist literature in U.S. mosques, published in the Middle East Quarterly (Summer 2011). This research and scholarship on sharia was earlier the focus of a 2008 monograph published by the McCormick Foundation and the Center for Security Policy entitled, “Shariah, Law and ‘Financial Jihad’: How Should America Respond?”. In 2010, Mr. Yerushalmi participated as a co-author of a seminal work on counter-terrorism and drafted what has become known as the American Laws for American Courts Act, which was enacted into law by several states and is pending in many others. Yerushalmi has been interviewed and profiled in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Reason Magazine, and appeared on local, national, and international radio and television programs. His writings have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, National Review, First Things, the American Thinker, The Intellectual Conservative, the Jerusalem Post, among many others. In 2011, he was named by The Forward as one of America’s 50 most impactful Jews.
