Daniel Philpott examines conditions on the ground in forty-seven Muslim-majority countries today and offers an honest, clear-eyed answer to this urgent question. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is not, however, a simple answer. From a satellite view, the Muslim world looks unfree. But, Philpott shows, the truth is much more complex. Some one-fourth of Muslim-majority countries are in fact religiously free. Of the other countries, about forty percent are governed not by Islamists but by a hostile secularism imported from the West, while the other sixty percent are Islamist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe picture that emerges is both honest and hopeful. Yes, most Muslim-majority countries are lacking in religious freedom. But, Philpott argues, the Islamic tradition carries within it \"seeds of freedom,\" and he offers guidance for how to cultivate those seeds in order to expand religious freedom in the Muslim world and the world at large. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is an urgent project. Religious freedom promotes goods like democracy and the advancement of women that are lacking in the Muslim-majority world and reduces ills like civil war, terrorism, and violence. Further, religious freedom is simply a matter of justice--not an exclusively Western value, but rather a universal right rooted in human nature. Its realization is critical to the aspirations of religious minorities and dissenters in Muslim countries, to Muslims living in non-Muslim countries or under secular dictatorships, and to relations between the West and the Muslim world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this thoughtful book, Philpott seeks to establish a constructive middle ground in a fiery and long-lasting debate over Islam.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Philpott\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame.
