In Muslims and Global Justice, he advances the theme of global justice from an Islamic perspective, critically examining the role that Muslims must play in the development of a pragmatic, rights-based framework for justice. An-Na'im opens this collection of essays with a chapter on Islamic ambivalence toward political violence, showing how Muslims began grappling with this problem long before the 9/11 attacks. Other essays highlight the need to improve the cultural legitimacy of human rights in the Muslim world. As An-Na'im argues, in order for a commitment to human rights to become truly universal, we must learn to accommodate a range of different reasons for belief in those rights. In addition, the author contends, building an effective human rights framework for global justice requires that we move toward a people-centered approach to rights. Such an approach would value foremost empowering local actors as a way of negotiating the paradox of a human rights system that relies on self-regulation by the state. Encompassing over two decades of An-Na'im's work on these critical issues, Muslims and Global Justice provides a valuable theoretical approach to the challenge of realizing global justice in a world of profound religious and cultural difference. 410 0$aPennsylvania studies in human rights. 606 $aGlobalization$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aLaw and globalization 606 $aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aCivil rights (Islamic law) 610 $aHuman Rights. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aReligious Studies. 615 0$aGlobalization$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aLaw and globalization. 615 0$aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aCivil rights (Islamic law) 676 $a340.5 9 700 $aNa?i?m$b ?Abd Alla?h Ah?mad$f1946-$0285813 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788579603321 996 $aMuslims and global justice$93678329 997 $aUNINA
