{"product_id":"the-challenge-of-political-islam-rachel-scott-9780804769051","title":"The Challenge of Political Islam: Non-Muslims and the Egyptian State","description":"The rise of political Islam has provoked considerable debate about the compatibility of democracy, tolerance, and pluralism with the Islamist position. As \u003ci\u003eThe Challenge of Political Islam\u003c\/i\u003e reveals, Egyptian Islamists today are more integrated into the political arena than ever, and are voicing a broad spectrum of positions, including a vision of Islamic citizenship more inclusive of non-Muslims. Based on Islamist writings, political tracts, and interviews with Islamists--including members of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and other important contemporary thinkers--this book looks closely at how modern, politically-oriented Egyptian Islamists perceive non-Muslims in an Islamic state and how non-Muslims respond. Clarifying the movement's aims, this work uncovers how Islamists have responded to the pressures of modernity, the degree to which the movement has been influenced by both a historical Islamic framework and Western modes of political thinking, and the necessity to reconsider the notion that secularism is a precondition for toleration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804769052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804769051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010","brand":"Rachel Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065149174015,"sku":"9780804769051","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e1ab323-bfbe-41bc-9e42-cd148ff7fb64.jpg?v=1768673319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-challenge-of-political-islam-rachel-scott-9780804769051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
