Developed in response to the events of September 11, 2001, these 14
articles from prominent Muslim thinkers offer a provocative
reassessment of Islam's relationship with the modern world.
Confronting issues such as racism, justice, sexuality and gender,
this book reveals the real challenges faced by Muslims of both
sexes in contemporary Western society. A probing, frank, and
intellectually refreshing testament to the capacity of Islam for
renewal, change, and growth, these articles from fifteen Muslim
scholars and activists address the challenging and complex issues
that confront Muslims today. Avoiding fundamentalist and apologetic
approaches, the book concentrates on the key areas of debate in
progressive Islamic thought: "Contemporary Islam," "Gender
Justice," and "Pluralism." With further contributions on subjects
as diverse and controversial as the alienation of Muslim youth;
Islamic law, marriage, and feminism; and the role of democracy in
Islam, this volume will prove thought-provoking for all those
interested in the challenges of justice and pluralism facing the
Muslim world as it confronts the twenty-first century.
