Religion and Representation: Islam and Democracy brings together a series of reflections, studies and observations that examine the complex relationship between political representation and Islam. Through the perspectives of theology, history, sociology, philosophy and political science, contributions to this volume explore the connections between religious beliefs, religiosity, political ideals and political behaviour. Grounded in the experience of both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority states, the chapters represent a broad cross-section of approaches that emerge from a process of exchange

In deze publicatie tracht de auteur, die onder andere als universitair docent islam verbonden is aan de VU, een bijdrage te leveren aan het maatschappelijk en wetenschappelijke debat rond de islam in de Westerse samenleving. Hij buigt zich over de vraag 'Wie is er moslim?' Wat maakt iemand tot moslim? In de ogen van de buitenwereld en in zijn eigen ogen? En hoe komt de religiositeit van moslims tot uiting in het dagelijks leven? Hij gaat in aparte hoofdstukken in op de vraag 'wat is een gelovig moslim?' en 'wat is een praktiserend moslim?' Daarnaast zijn er twee hoofdstukken gewijd aan de vroege islam en aan secularisatie binnen de islam. De auteur beoogt inzicht te bieden in de dynamiek van de islamitische religiositeit. Hij wijst op de discrepantie tussen dogma en praktijk in de islam en betoogt dat secularisatie onderdeel is van de islam en anders geduid moet worden dan secularisatie in het christendom. De tekst is opgebouwd uit een inleiding en vier grote hoofdstukken, verdeeld in paragrafen en voorzien van eindnoten.

Does religiosity diminish democratic economic and civil tendencies? Do Islamic traditions provoke more hostility to democratic values in comparison to other religious traditions? In this book, Abbas Mehregan undertakes an empirical examination of the effects of individual religiosity, historical religion, institutional democracy, and socioeconomic development on attitudes towards free market economics and confidence in traditional, modern, and post-modern civil society organizations. Using multilevel analysis, Mehregan compares 60 Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, and folk-religion societies in these regards. Furthermore, in addition to an empirical comparison of Sunni and Shia Islamic countries, a theoretical investigation of the relationship between Islam and democratic economic and civil values provides a comprehensive insight into the topic.

Sophia Rose Arjana argues that fictive Muslim characters, and in particular male Muslim monsters, have contributed to the Western construction of knowledge about Islam. The belief in monsters has its origins in anxieties about race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender. The book examines how Christians, then Europeans, and later Americans have formulated an idea about Muslims that is situated in these concerns.
