A comparative analysis of key Islamic authority platforms and their
debatesAt the turn of the twenty-first century, scholarship and
policy debate on Islam and Muslim societies has come to focus
primarily on Islam's ability to make young Muslims gravitate
towards anti-modernity movements. Many attribute Islamic militancy,
as well as the general socio-economic and political stagnation
experienced in some Muslim societies, to Islamic theological or
legal dictates. Yet Islamic scholarly tradition is highly
pluralistic, and today's leading Islamic authority structures are
developing competing conceptual and methodological approaches which
vary greatly in their ability to engage with societal change.This
volume covers the new Islamic authority centres emerging in the
West. It makes a major contribution to refining our understanding
of the plurality of Islamic tradition in contemporary times,
helping to counter the dominant narrative of an inevitable clash of
civilisations. It presents evidence of great creative energy within
many Islamic scholarly platforms (old as well as new); an energy
which aims to provide dynamic answers to modern day challenges from
within the Islamic legal and theological tradition.Case StudiesThis
volume presents case studies of six new Islamic scholarly platforms
in the West that are proving particularly effective in attracting
young Muslims:Zaytuna CollegeThe Neo-Traditionalism of Tim
WinterThe International Institute of Islamic ThoughtTariq Ramadan
and the Center for Islamic Legislation and EthicsYasir Qadhi and
