Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - Religious Intolerance is on the rise. Debating religious freedom often means debating "West" versus "Islam" This book challenges crucial stereotypes around this issue. It explores the scopeof the rightto freedom of religion in the International Treaties and Declarations, and investigates why this right creates misunderstandings and misconceptions that often lead to intolerance and discrimination in countries of various political, social, and cultural backgrounds. Islam and the West attempts to find reasons for the rise of religious intolerance.The author looks at the limitation of the religious symbols law in France and the anti-terrorism measures in the USA; she discusses also Religious minorities and Apostasy in Saudia Arabia and Egypt. Furthermore, she calls for extending the scope, asking questions such as: How do societies deal with different religions and beliefs? How could and do they find ways of reconciling their conflicting demands while protecting human worth? How can universal values be found and established? (Verlagstext) // INHALT : ...
