Publisher Synopsis
The topics of the book are particularly relevant since Islam's relationship with the intellectual and political aspects of modernity bears directly on events of epochal significance in the Arab world and elsewhere, as exemplified by the Arab Spring. -- Emad Bazzi, Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, UAE * Journal of Shi`a Islamic Studies * Over the years, the issue of Islam, Muslim communities and the Muslim world's relationship with the West has been discussed, explored and written about by a number of scholars and academics. The way this book has tackled various topics relating to the Muslim world is not only worth reading but refreshing, thoughtful and balanced - just as the Islamic principle of the "Golden Middle Rule". This book will go a long way to better the understanding of Islam in the West. -- Bashy Quraishy, Secretary General, European Muslim Initiative for Social Cohesion (EMISCO), Strasbourg, France This collection of articles is probably the best introduction available to one of the most dynamic movements influencing the Islamic world today. The hizmet community, inspired and guided by the thoughts of Fethullah Gulen, has played a key role in Islamic renewal. In the words of one contributor to the volume, the movement "allowed Muslims, once fearful that democracy, secularism, pluralism and human rights discourse would threaten their religious identity, to engage with full sincerity in political life and debate. -- Thomas Michel, Senior Fellow, Woodstock Theological Center, Georgetown University, USA Read more...
