Muslim Secular Democracy: Voices From Within provides an expansive
understanding of secularism in the Muslim World by exploring
different trajectories and varieties of secularism, from the failed
authoritarian secular state of Pahlavi Iran and the ambiguous
secularism in Malaysia to democratizing passive secularism in
Indonesia and shifts towards passive secularism under the AKP
government in Turkey. Where the bulk of academic literature on
democratization in the Muslim World focuses on the Arab World, this
volume fills a gap by developing an integrated Muslim World
perspective; together, the country case-studies provide multiple
lenses through which to appreciate the socio-political shifts that
have resulted in different democratic transitions, supported by
varied discourses and propelled by diverse combinations of
political, social, and religious actors. In the early twenty-first
century, passive secularism increasingly aligns itself with
mainstream Muslim aspirations for forms of wasatiyyah democracy and
governance based on popular sovereignty and citizenship rights and
for the incorporation of the sacred within the political framework
of the inclusive secular state. The contributions to this volume
examine the ways by which Muslim wasatiyyah democracy has been
advanced by progressive Islamic Muslim discourses and movements
grounded in the principles of equity and social justice.
