'Human Rights and Reformist Islam' critiques traditional Islamic
approaches to the question of compatibility between human rights
and Islam, and argues instead for their reconciliation from the
perspective of a reformist Islam. The book focuses on six
controversial case studies: religious discrimination; gender
discrimination; slavery; freedom of religion; punishment of
apostasy; and arbitrary or harsh punishments. Explaining the
strengths of structural ijtihad, Mohsen Kadivar's draws on the
rational classification of Islamic teachings as temporal or
permanent on the one hand, and four criteria of being Islamic on
the other: reasonableness, justice, morality and efficiency. He
rejects all of the problematic verses and Hadith according to these
criteria. The result is a powerful, solutions-based argument based
on reformist Islam - providing a scholarly bridge between modernity
and Islamic tradition in relation to human rights.
