Advanced Praise
These thoughtful essays, from a variety
of methodological standpoints,
deepen the emerging conversation about
Islam, democracy, and liberalism.
The historian, the political scientist,
and the student of the Middle East can
each find here material of interest.
A valuable contribution to
the most pressing topic of the day.
-- Noah Feldman, Professor of Law, New York University School of Law This excellent volume defines the agenda for future thinking about Islam and democracy. It is essential for those who want to go beyond media platitudes and engage with the Islamic intellectual traditions and sources of pluralism, democracy and good governance. Muqtedar Khan has done an excellent job of brining together a broad spectrum of views, with cutting edge scholars presenting the major arguments in current debates. – John Voll, Director, Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University and the co-author of Islam and Democracy (1996).
This
is a powerful and informative book that addresses difficult issues related
to Islam and Democracy. The authors write in concise and simple
language, accessible to all, on a subject that can challenge Muslim and
non-Muslim readers alike. The outcome is probably the best
combination of essays that exists to date. I highly recommend
it for anyone interested in learning about the challenges
of democratization in the Muslim world today"
