Below are books that are available on our website:
France and the Hated Society: Muslim Experiences / S.R Ameli, A. Merali & E. Shahghasemi
The study considers how acts of hatred are encouraged and legitimised, including discriminatory legislation resulting in social inequality and negative media representation of Muslims.
British Secularism and Religion: Islam, Society and the StateÂ
Edited by Yahya Birt, Dilwar Hussain & Ataullah Siddiqui, this book provides an in-depth deliberation upon the now unsettled relationship between religion and politics in contemporary Britain, with some emphasis upon the case of Islam, which is now at the centre of the debate. Combining theological reflections and academic and policy perspectives, this topical collection includes contributions from Ted Cantle, Sunder Katwala, Maleiha Malik, Tariq Modood, Abdullah Sahin, Norman Solomon and Nick Spencer.
The Impossible State: Islam, Politics and Modernity’s Moral Predicament / Wael B. Hallaq
Comparing the legal, political, moral, and constitutional histories of premodern Islam and Euro-America, Wael Hallaq finds the adoption and practice of the modern state to be highly problematic for modern Muslims. The modern state not only suffers from serious legal, political, and constitutional issues, Hallaq argues, but also, by its very nature, fashions a subject inconsistent with what it means to be, or to live as, a Muslim. Providing Muslims with a path toward realizing the good life, Hallaq turns to the rich moral resources of Islamic history.
Yemen Appeal
