This paper seeks to demonstrate that the dynamic reconstruction process of Muslim identity in Britain has remarkable reflections in the socio-legal sphere since law is a socio-cultural construct. It is abundantly clear that there are some cultural differences between Muslims in Britain and the British way of life. Thus, in the socio-legal arena, there would appear a number of clashes between these two cultures and their legal systems. Muslim mind as a sujet de droits is under the pressure of these conflicting laws. As we shall see below, a crucial but unfortunate aspect of the issue is the differential legal treatment of the different ethnic minorities in Britain.
