All Politics Are God's Politics

In "All Politics Are God's Politics," author Ahmed Khanani challenges the common perception that Muslims are undemocratic. Published by Rutgers University Press in 2021, this thought-provoking book spans 230 pages and delves into the intricate relationship between Islam and democracy. Khanani argues that, contrary to popular belief, socially conservative and politically active Muslims, or Islamists, view democracy (dimuqriyya) as an extension of their religious values. Through a compelling analysis, he reveals how these beliefs shape political engagement and contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Muslim perspectives on governance. This insightful work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of faith, politics, and society. Discover how Khanani's arguments challenge stereotypes and foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of Muslim political thought.
