从对先知穆罕默德漫画的愤怒反应到对妇女的压制,来自穆斯林世界的新闻都在回避这样一个问题:伊斯兰教与自由不相容吗?带着对西方自由主义和伊斯兰神学的同情,Mustafa Akyol追溯了政治伊斯兰的意识形态和历史根源。公元632年穆罕默德去世后的几年里,伊斯兰教的理性主义、灵活的学派和更教条、僵化的学派之间爆发了一场知识分子的“思想之战”。传统主义学派胜出,培养了伊斯兰教与现代对立的观念。然而,通过对穆斯林思想潮流的仔细重新审视,Akyol发现了自由主义在19世纪奥斯曼帝国的蓬勃发展,以及当今土耳其独特的“伊斯兰-自由主义综合体”。他有力地断言,只有接受世俗国家,伊斯兰社会才能繁荣。《没有极端的伊斯兰》具有说服力和启发性,为伊斯兰教与宗教、政治、经济和社会自由之间的和谐提供了迫切需要的思想基础。
From furious reactions to the cartoons of Prophet Muhammad to the suppression of women, news from the Muslim world begs the question: is Islam incompatible with freedom? With an eye sympathetic to Western liberalism and Islamic theology, Mustafa Akyol traces the ideological and historical roots of political Islam. The years following Muhammad's passing in 632 AD saw an intellectual "war of ideas" rage between rationalist, flexible schools of Islam and the more dogmatic, rigid ones. The traditionalist school won out, fostering perceptions of Islam as antithetical to modernity. However, through his careful reexamination of the currents of Muslim thought, Akyol discovers a flourishing of liberalism in the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire and the unique "Islamo-liberal synthesis" of present-day Turkey. Only by accepting a secular state, he powerfully asserts, can Islamic societies thrive. Persuasive and inspiring, Islam without Extremes offers a desperately needed intellectual basis for the reconcilability of Islam and religious, political, economic, and social freedoms.
