Role of Islam in the Public Square: Guidance or Governance?

Abdulaziz Sachedina

doi:10.1017/9789048503957

The Role of Islam in the Public Square tackles the critical role of religion in the development of democratic institutions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Constitutional debates, Abdulaziz Sachedina asserts, have yet to address the role of religious convictions alongside their citizens' basic freedoms and rights. Sachedina argues that the way in which religious values are defined in Afghanistan and Iraq remains a major stumbling block, and that an inclusive sense of citizenship-one that transcends doctrinal and theological uniformity-is needed if democracy is to succeed in both countries.
