Islam and the Challenge of Civilization
Abdelwahab Meddeb
Criticizes readings of the Koran that fuel violent acts, and calls for exegesis of Islam's sacred texts inspired by ijtihad, or independent interpretation. Analyzes the burqa ban in France, and suggests that the future of reformed Islam lies among Muslims living in the West, where religion and positivist law co-exist.
