Views on the more sensitive issues in Islam seem readily formed, but what are they based on? This timely and unflinching volume highlights some of the nagging questions as they are tackled by policymakers such as Job Cohen, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and Nikolaos van Dam who face complex issues in their day-to-day working lives. The authors demonstrate the extent to which our image of Islam is often distorted. In addition to the policymakers' viewpoints, Delicate Debates on Islam also offers the reader the scholarly responses from the likes of John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed to a selection of hotly-contested issues including democracy, the position of women and human rights. The rich tensions of this study include those between academics and policymakers, encompassing a debate that will continue to dominate the media and politics in the years to come.
