Description

Why does Islam play a larger role in contemporary politics than other religions? Is there something about the Islamic heritage that makes Muslims more likely than adherents of other faiths to invoke it in their political life? This title answers these questions by examining the roles of Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity in modern political life.
