Abstract / Description

What is religious freedom? What’s it got to do with democratization? Where does Islam come in? Religious freedom is a key human right, a major component of a liberal democracy, the ability to practise your religion freely. It is often suggested, especially by Western scholars, that Islam is deficient in both regards: poor at religious freedom and poor at democracy. Is there something inherent in Islam which is incompatible with both? Philpott examines these issues in Religious Freedom in Islam.
