Description

From furious reactions to the cartoons of Prophet Muhammad to the suppression of women, news from the Muslim world begs the question: is Islam incompatible with freedom? With an eye sympathetic to Western liberalism and Islamic theology, Mustafa Akyol traces the ideological and historical roots of political Islam.

Much 'food' for thought. It needs to be incorporated with The Islamic Jesus and Reopening Muslim Minds to address possible issues for the Progressive Class.
