註釋
Contemporary mass media descriptions of Muslims often suggest that Islam and Muslims are fundamentally undemocratic. Policy-makers in the West have weaponized these descriptions in attempts to legitimize anti-Muslim right-wing policy developments across the West and in the United States in particular, from surveillance in the aftermath of 9/11 to the anti-Islamic travel ban of 2017. But
are
Muslims undemocratic? Ahmed Khanani argues that this is not the case. In
All Politics are God's Politics,
Khanani shows that in fact, the opposite holds true: for socially conservative, politically active Muslims (Islamists), democracy or
dimuqrāṭiyya
reflects and extends their religious values. By drawing on conversations with over 100 Islamists in Morocco, this book enables readers to understand and appreciate the significance of
dimuqrāṭiyya
as a concept alongside new prospects for Islam and democracy in the Arab Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Khanani's in-depth analysis of the Moroccan case brings these Islamists and their attending political views to the forefront.
