In Islam, Justice, and Democracy, Sabri Ciftci explores the historical, philosophical, and empirical foundations of justice to examine how religious values relate to Muslim political preferences and behavior. He focuses on Muslim agency and democracy to explain how ordinary Muslims use the conceptions of divine justice-either servitude to God or exercising free will against oppressors-to make sense of real-world problems. Using ethnographic research, interviews, and public opinion surveys as well as the works of Islamist ideologues, archives of Islamist journals, and other sources, Ciftci shows that building contemporary incarnations of Islamist justice is, in essence, a highly practical political project that has formative effects on Muslim political attitudes. Islam, Justice, and Democracy compares the recent Arab Spring protests to the constitutionalist movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the Middle East to demonstrate the continuities and rifts a century apart. By putting justice at the center of democratic thinking in the Muslim world, Ciftci reconsiders Islam's potential in engendering both democratic ideals and authoritarian preferences. 410 $aReligious Engagement in Democratic Politics 606 $aReligion / Islam$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science / World / Middle Eastern$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical science 615 7$aReligion / Islam 615 7$aPolitical Science / World / Middle Eastern 615 7$aPolitical Science 615 0$aPolitical science 676 $a297.272 700 $aCiftci$b Sabri$01215786 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910545195603321 996 $aIslam, Justice, and Democracy$92809369 997 $aUNINA
