In \u003ci\u003eMuslims and Global Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, he advances the theme of global justice from an Islamic perspective, critically examining the role that Muslims must play in the development of a pragmatic, rights-based framework for justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn-Na'im opens this collection of essays with a chapter on Islamic ambivalence toward political violence, showing how Muslims began grappling with this problem long before the 9\/11 attacks. Other essays highlight the need to improve the cultural legitimacy of human rights in the Muslim world. As An-Na'im argues, in order for a commitment to human rights to become truly universal, we must learn to accommodate a range of different reasons for belief in those rights. In addition, the author contends, building an effective human rights framework for global justice requires that we move toward a people-centered approach to rights. Such an approach would value foremost empowering local actors as a way of negotiating the paradox of a human rights system that relies on self-regulation by the state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEncompassing over two decades of An-Na'im's work on these critical issues, \u003ci\u003eMuslims and Global Justice\u003c\/i\u003e provides a valuable theoretical approach to the challenge of realizing global justice in a world of profound religious and cultural difference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48183841980667,"sku":"9780812242867","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e53de01c-cbaf-4023-99ad-ef2d40326838.jpg?v=1770657158","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/muslims-and-global-justice-9780812242867","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
