ISS 7 Islam and Contemporary Civilisation: Evolving Ideas, Transforming Relations - Paperback

by Halim Rane (Author)

A comprehensive insight into the how and why of covering Islam, media content and its impact on social relations.

Islam and Contemporary Civilisation examines the most complex debates and dilemmas facing Islam today, both internally and in its relations with Western civilisation.

Halim Rane provides a concise and comprehensive introduction to Islam and modern developments in Muslim thought, and tackles questions of Islamic law, human rights, democracy, jihad and the Israel-Palestine conflict in the context of Islam-West relations.

In confronting these challenging issues, Rane proposes a way forward that has far-reaching implications for advancing mutual understanding and finding common ground between the Muslim world and the West.
