Islam, Liberty, and the Middle East

In this episode of the Promised Land podcast, Deputy Director of Domestic Policy and Promised Land project lead Peter Copeland interviews Mustafa Akyol, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, where he focuses on the intersection of public policy, Islam, and modernity. Together, they discuss Islam and western civilization, sorting through the tensions that may exist, how those might be overcome, and the extent and limits of reinterpretation and reform in religion. They also cover Islamic extremism, the Israel-Palestine conflict, Mustafa’s new book The Islamic Moses, Islam’s relationship to the other Abrahamic religions, and the role of religion in contemporary society, as many increasingly turn to it in the postmodern era, in search of meaning and values.
