Contemporary Islam Dynamic, Not Static

Contemporary Islam provides a counterweight to the prevailing opinions of Islamic thought as conservative and static with a preference for violence over dialogue. It gathers together a collection of eminent scholars from around the world who tackle issues such as intellectual pluralism, gender, the ethics of political participation, human rights, non-violence and religious harmony. This is a highly topical and important study which gives a progressive outlook for Islam's role in modern politics and society.Abu-Nimer, Mohammed is the author of 'Contemporary Islam Dynamic, Not Static', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415770125 and ISBN 0415770122.
