Description

A religious liberty lawyer and acclaimed author reveals the root of Americas polarization inside the Muslim and evangelical Christian divideand how it can be healed.

Despite the dire consequences of Americas cultural, political, and religious divisiveness, from increasing incivility to discrimination and outright violence, few have been able to get to the core cause of this conflict. Even fewer have offered measures for reconcilliation.

Now, in The Politics of Vulnerability, Asma Uddin, American-Muslim public intellectual, religious-liberties attorney, and activist, provides a unique perspective on the complex political and social factors contributing to the Muslim-Christian divide. Unlike other analysts, Uddin asks what underlying drivers cause otherwise good people to door believebad things? Why do people who value faith support of measures that limit others, especially of Muslims', religious freedom and other rights?'

Uddin humanizes a contentious relationship by fully embracing both sides as individuals driven by very human fears and anxieties. Many conservative Christians fear that the Left is dismantling traditional ';Christian America' to replace it with an Islamized America, a conspiratorial theory that has given rise to an ';evangelical persecution complex,' a politicized vulnerability.

Uddin reveals that Islamophobia and other aspects of the conservative Christian movement are interconnected. Where does hate come from and how can it be conquered? Only by addressing the underlying factors of this politics of vulnerability can we begin to heal the divide.
