Islam in Liberalism with Joseph Massad (Episode 10)

Rutgers CSRR

American anxieties about intolerance, misogyny, and tyranny are projected onto Islam as part of the broader European use of Islam as a foil in Western liberalism. A recent book contextualizes this trend within recent efforts by the western world to proselytize liberalism as the only valid and sane worldview to Muslim-majority nations and references a rich historical record of Christian and liberal discourses revealing such attempts to cure Muslims of their supposed illiberal ways. Host Sahar Aziz addresses these issues with “Islam in Liberalism” author and Columbia University Professor Joseph Massad.
