I hope, @MonicaLMarks, you don't mind me responding in a thread, since there's much to say.

Firstly, I've not read Ceren's book--I hope to--but I'm commenting on a broader problem in liberal commentary/anxieties with respect to Muslim expressions of political agency. Erdogan, for his many flaws, is the most salient index of this anxiety. But after Alasdair MacIntyre, Talal Asad, William Cavanaugh, et al. have all exposed both liberalisms own contingency and the epidemic of liberal violence, why should non-liberals take liberalism seriously?

@OwenJones84 Hi Owen, I firmly believe in building bridges and respecting different viewpoints. I watched your short documentary with great interest. I'm very concerned about the polarisation. But the conversation needs to get more philosophical and theological if it is to be successful. 1 @OwenJones84 The reality is that theologically, Islamic scriptures are both expansive and constricted. Some of this may be seen in @JonathanACBrown’s treatment of the issue here: yaqeeninstitute.org/jonathan-brown…. 2
