Islam, Justice, and Democracy
Temple University Press, 2021
This book explores the lineages of political and social justice discourses to explain Muslim political attitudes. It combines historical and empirical treatments of the subject to provide a fuller account of scholarly inquiry concerning Islam and democracy. Focusing on Muslim agency and putting values at the center of inquiry, it argues that different conceptions of justice have significant sway on the political attitudes of the devout.
Beyond Piety and Politics
Indiana University Press, 2022
This book posits the existence of general socio-religious spatial positions with distinct outlooks within the domain of those categorized as “religious” Muslims, moving away from dichotomous binaries like “religious/non-religious” or “secular-Islamist.” Drawing on economics of religion, sociological theories of moral cosmology, and empirical research on Muslim political attitudes, it examines synergies between religion and political and economic preferences.
