The Challenge of Pluralism: Paradigms from Muslim Contexts

Edited by Abdou Filali-Ansary and Sikeena Karmali Ahmed

Scholars tend to assume that Islam is incompatible with notions of pluralism, and notable liberal thinkers have argued that pluralism itself is inherently antithetical to Islam. Addressing these assumptions while bringing clarity to some of its key suppositions and conjectures, this volume transcends political correctness and refutes these postulations through direct debate. Eminent international scholars explore the true nature of pluralism, discussing its broad spectrum of relevance and application within modern day societies.
