In a world where almost all societies are multi-religious and
multi-ethnic, we need to study how social cohesion can be achieved
in different contexts. In some geographical areas, as in the Middle
East and the Indian subcontinent, people of different religious
belonging have, through the ages, lived side by side, sometimes in
harmony and sometimes in dissonance. In other geographical regions,
as in Scandinavia, societies have been quite religiously
homogeneous but only recently challenged by immigration. In both
locations the relations between religious minority and majority are
very much on the agenda. In order to discuss the situation for
non-Muslims in Muslim majority societies, a consultation was
convened with both Muslim and Christian participants from Pakistan,
Palestine, Lebanon, and Sweden. Some of the participants work in
academic settings, others in faith-based organisations, some in
jurisprudence and others with theological issues. Non-Muslims in
Muslim Majority Societies is the result of that consultation. The
intention of the book is to trigger reflection and further
thinking, through papers that discuss issues such as freedom of
religion, minority rights, secular and religious legislation, and
inter-religious dialogue in Muslim majority societies. Although the
articles are presented as 'works in progress' and remain tentative
in many of their conclusions, this book is an important
contribution to the global debate over religious tolerance and
religious pluralism.
