Daniel Philpott examines conditions on the ground in forty-seven Muslim-majority countries today and offers an honest, clear-eyed answer to this urgent question. 0It is not, however, a simple answer. From a satellite view, the Muslim world looks unfree. But, Philpott shows, the truth is much more complex. Some one-fourth of Muslim-majority countries are in fact religiously free. Of the other countries, about forty percent are governed not by Islamists but by a hostile secularism imported from the West, while the other sixty percent are Islamist. 0The picture that emerges is both honest and hopeful. Yes, most Muslim-majority countries are lacking in religious freedom. But, Philpott argues, the Islamic tradition carries within it "seeds of freedom," and he offers guidance for how to cultivate those seeds in order to expand religious freedom in the Muslim world and the world at large.0It is an urgent project. Religious freedom promotes goods like democracy and the advancement of women that are lacking in the Muslim-majority world and reduces ills like civil war, terrorism, and violence. Further, religious freedom is simply a matter of justice-not an exclusively Western value, but rather a universal right rooted in human nature. Its realization is critical to the aspirations of religious minorities and dissenters in Muslim countries, to Muslims living in non-Muslim countries or under secular dictatorships, and to relations between the West and the Muslim world. 0In this thoughtful book, Philpott seeks to establish a constructive middle ground in a fiery and long-lasting debate over Islam. 610 27 $a Islamischer Staat $2 gnd 610 24 $a Islamischer Staat. 650 0 $a Liberty $x Islam. $x Islam. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z Islamic countries. 650 7 $a Freedom of religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934030 650 7 $a Liberty $x Islam. $x Islam. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997273 651 7 $a Islamic countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244130 650 7 $a Islam $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kultusfreiheit $2 gnd 650 7 $a Minderheitenrecht $2 gnd 650 7 $a ReligioÂse Toleranz $2 gnd 650 7 $a Religionsfreiheit $2 gnd 651 7 $a Islamische Staaten $2 gnd 650 7 $a Godsdienstvrijheid. $2 nbdbt $0 (NL-LeOCL)07801400X 650 7 $a Islamitische wereld. $2 nbdbt $0 (NL-LeOCL)156241099 776 08 $i Online version: $a Philpott, Daniel, 1967- $t Religious freedom in Islam. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2019] $z 9780190908201 $w (OCoLC)1043986732 $w (OCoLC)1043986732 830 0 $a 2019. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A7F1F040CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
