In this book, sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Abdulaziz Sachedina tackles the most significant issues facing Muslims today. As Islam and Muslims enter the 21st century, Sachedina argues, it is necessary to reopen the doors of religious interpretation - to reexamine and correct false interpretations, replace outdated laws and formulate new doctrines that respond to changing social contexts. Always using the Quran as a yardstick, Sachedina demonstrates how and why Islamic law came to reflect political and social influences, leading to regulations that violate the spirit and the letter of the Quran. He critically analyzes Muslim teachings on issues of pluralism, civil society, war and peace, violence and self-sacrifice, the status and role of non-Muslims, and capital punishment.

I know personally with the author of the book of "Islamic Root of Democratic Pluralism," Prof. Abdulaziz Sachedina. I had met him at UVA and discussed a lot about many things relating to Islam, democracy, human rights, peacebuilding, etc. He is one of the prominent moderate Muslim scholars on this earth. His Islamic Root of Democratic Pluralism shows us how sharp his analyzes and understanding on Islamic religion. Based on his analyzes on the works of Shiite and Sunni scholars, he reasserts that Islam is one of the focal resources and one of significant voices for democracy, pluralism, freedom, human rights, and so forth. Politicians, fundamentalist-conservative groups, peacebuilders, conflict resolvers, human right activists, etc need reading this remarkable book.
