Summary/Abstract: The article examines the theory of Roger Scruton, contemporary British conservative philosopher, on why most Muslims reject norms governing social and political life in Western Europe. In the first part I present an overview of Scruton’s understanding of conservatism, and his conservative ideas on state, law and society. In the second part I discuss Scruton’s interpretation of the Islamic law and the reasons behind its near total opposition to and conflict with the social theory and practice in the West. I conclude with a question – partly polemical to Scruton’s thesis – as to the real existence of the Western cultural millieu he defends.
