Book review : Religious freedom in Islam: the fate of a universal human right in the Muslim world today

Haynes, Jeffrey (2020) Book review : Religious freedom in Islam: the fate of a universal human right in the Muslim world today. Democratization. pp. 1-2. ISSN 1743-890X

Abstract

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.
