Reader comment on item: A Democratic Islam?

Submitted by Luca (Ireland), May 3, 2008 at 10:13

Another interesting book related to this issue is:

Tibi, B. 2008, Political Islam, World Politics and Europo. Democratic Peace and Euro-Islam versus Global Jihad. New York and London: Routledge.

It is more specifically addressed to Europe, however, can be very well re-adapted to the US framework.
