The Third Choice provides a compelling introduction to Islam on the
basis of its primary sources, the Quran and the life of Muhammad.
Topics covered include the sharia; interpretation of the Quran;
abrogation; women's rights (including female genital mutilation);
lawful deception (taqiyya); Muhammad's responses to opposition;
Islamic antisemitism; religious freedom; and prospects for
reforming Islam. After this critical introduction of Islam, there
follows an explanation and critique of Islam's policy for
non-Muslims living under Islamic conditions. The doctrine of the
three choices (conversion, the sword, or the dhimma pact of
surrender to Islam) is explained, including an analysis of the
meaning of tribute payments (jizya) made by non-Muslims (dhimmis)
to their Muslim conquerors. Durie describes the impact of
dhimmitude on the human rights of non-Muslims in Islamic contexts
around the world today, in the light of global Islamic resurgence
and advancing Islamization, including pressure being exerted
through the United Nations for states to conform to sharia
restrictions on freedom of speech. The worldview of dhimmitude,
Durie argues, offers indispensable keys for understanding current
trends in global politics, including the widening impact of sharia
revival, deterioration of human rights in Islamic societies, jihad
terrorism, recurring patterns of Western appeasement, interfaith
dialogue initiatives, and the increasingly fraught relationship
between migrant Muslim communities in the West and their host
societies.
