Description
In the aftermath of 9/11, fear of religious difference has fueled suspicion, exclusion, and attacks on minority communities across the West. This compelling work examines the roots of that fear and argues for a more principled defense of religious liberty, especially for Muslims and other vulnerable groups. Drawing on political philosophy, law, history, and contemporary controversies, it explores the tension between security, national identity, and individual freedom. The result is a vigorous call for empathy, equal citizenship, and a more inclusive democratic culture.
