For the first time, political Islam presented by one of its main leaders.
What is the relationship between the religious and the political in Islam? Are there limits to the application of Koranic law? What is the status of Muslim women? What are the rights of a non-Muslim in an Islamic society, those of a Muslim community in the Western world? Do secularism and human rights have a universal value? What about Iran, Algeria? Will the 21st century see a catastrophic clash of civilizations?
A major figure in contemporary Islam, one of the most influential figures in the international Islamist movement, Hassan Al-Tourabi, in power since 1989 in Sudan, reveals his thoughts here. In a sustained dialogue with the journalist Alain Chevalérias, he answers the questions everyone is asking. Answers that are sometimes conciliatory, other times unexpected, even disturbing, but always clear. Passing nothing over in silence and finally presenting, as in itself, the Islamist project, this book is intended for all those who want to know.
Hassan Al-Touabi, who knows Europe well from having studied there, is now President of the National Assembly in Sudan. Alain Chevalérias, journalist, specialist in the Muslim world, collaborates, among others, with International Policy.
