"Tariq Ramadan is a Muslim Martin Luther."--Paul Donnelly, The
Washington Post
"Tariq Ramadan, one of the foremost Muslim intellectuals...comes
into his own as a historian and provoker of ideas. He notes how, in
their Western representation, Muslim Arabs have shifted from the
benighted, terrorist 'other' to the 'alter ego of the Western
Universal."--The Independent"Whether you agree with Ramadan's
interpretation of events or vision for the future of the
Muslim-majority nations, Islam and the Arab Awakening is a
thoughtful and nuanced examination of the events others have termed
the 'Arab Spring.' There is no question that Ramadan supports the
rule of law, freedom of religion, and the right of
self-determination for all peoples...If you are looking for a
straightforward history, or want simple answers to complex
problems, this book is not for you. But if you are trying to
understand the issues facing the Muslim-majority nations today,
Islam and the Arab Awakening is a good place to
start."--CultureMob"Ramadan has started to pave out the road to
reform and changes in the understanding of Islam in Muslim
communities in the West."--Le Monde Diplomatique"Tariq Ramadan, a
prominent intellectual-activist in Europe and America, represents a
new generation of Islamic reformers."--John L. Esposito, author of
Unholy War and What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam
