A religious liberty lawyer and acclaimed author reveals the root of
America's polarization inside the Muslim and evangelical Christian
divide-and how it can be healed. Despite the dire consequences of
America's cultural, political, and religious divisiveness, from
increasing incivility to discrimination and outright violence, few
have been able to get to the core cause of this conflict. Even
fewer have offered measures for reconcilliation. Now, in The
Politics of Vulnerability, Asma Uddin, American-Muslim public
intellectual, religious-liberties attorney, and activist, provides
a unique perspective on the complex political and social factors
contributing to the Muslim-Christian divide. Unlike other analysts,
Uddin asks what underlying drivers cause otherwise good people to
do-or believe-bad things? Why do people who value faith support of
measures that limit others, especially of Muslims', religious
freedom and other rights?' Uddin humanizes a contentious
relationship by fully embracing both sides as individuals driven by
very human fears and anxieties. Many conservative Christians fear
that the Left is dismantling traditional "Christian America" to
replace it with an Islamized America, a conspiratorial theory that
has given rise to an "evangelical persecution complex," a
politicized vulnerability. Uddin reveals that Islamophobia and
other aspects of the conservative Christian movement are
interconnected. Where does hate come from and how can it be
conquered? Only by addressing the underlying factors of this
politics of vulnerability can we begin to heal the divide.
