The ambiguities surrounding the doctrine of consensus effectively meant that the claim of ijmā‘ was often used as a rhetorical device in the polemics among the various schools. Jurists from a particular school would often claim the existence of a consensus among Muslims on a certain point in order to confound the arguments of his opponents.

Interesting how very similar the socialization process of classical jurists seems to have been to that of the academy today and how I'm moved to critique strains of it on similar grounds -- deeply unimpressed by any 'pride' in education that is tied to disdain for those not similarly educated. How you even gonna work for people you don't respect. Why should they respect you then.

(this isn't actually a funny book; it's an (interesting so far!) interrogation of how authority has been constructed in the islamic legal tradition but i'm miss susan and my sense of humor is easily piqued when i discover the historical roots of commonly repeated metaphors)
