| description |
This paper is a provocative play on the famous Muslim Brotherhood
slogan al-Islām hūwa al-ḥāl (Islam is the solution). While
critics of the Muslim Brothers rightly criticized them for the simplicity
of their worldview in thinking that religion was a panacea
for all of the problems confronting Muslim societies during the
late twentieth century, an argument can be made that religion does
profoundly matter in the context of the struggle for democracy in
the Arab-Islamic world. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, democratic
transitions in North Africa and the Middle East will be dependent
on democratically negotiating the question of religion’s
role in politics. Here I provide some reflections on this topic with
a focus on Tunisia’s transition to democracy.
