Public Talk – “THE CONCEPT OF FREEDOM IN ISLAM”
The freedoms of choice and expression are not alien concepts in Islam. On the contrary, they are integral to the religion right from its birth. The failures of Muslims and Muslim countries in upholding those freedoms have been used by elements inimical to Islam to denigrate the religion when in actual fact those failures originate from Muslims and Muslim governments straying from the true teachings of the religion. The speaker will also explain if there is any fundamental difference between the Islamic and Western understanding of what constitutes ‘freedom’ |
