  • Islam and democracy: What's the problem?
    第2話
    Islam and democracy: What's the problem?Tunisia's "Islamist" Ennahda party announced last month that it was moving away from so-called "political Islam". The announcement is seen as a move to broaden its following by a party that has been labelled "moderate Islamist" for 30 years. While the move is welcomed by many, others raise questions: Can Muslim-majority countries strike a balance between faith and democracy? Or, is there an irreconcilable tension between liberal values and Islamic beliefs? In a special edition of UpFront, recorded before Ennahda's announcement, Mehdi Hasan speaks to a panel of experts, analysts and activists about whether there can be a balance between Islamic and democratic values. Guests: Mustafa Akyol, Turkish columnist and author of Islam Without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty. Mona Eltahawy, Egyptian-American writer, activist and author of Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution Soumaya Ghannoushi, British-Tunisian writer, commentator and member of Tunisia's Ennahda party. Shadi Hamid, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's Center for Middle East Policy and author of Islamic Exceptionalism: How the Struggle Over Islam is Reshaping the World. Husain Haqqani, former Pakistani ambassador to the US and author of Pakistan: Between Mosque And Military
