Blondo Women s Vitiana Winter Boot

   

For eight years the president of the United States was a born again Christian backed by well organized evangelicals who often seemed intent on erasing the church state divide In Europe the increasing number of radicalized Muslims is creating widespread fear that Islam is undermining Western style liberal democracy And even in polytheistic Asia the development of democracy has been hindered in some countries particularly China by a long history in which religion was tightly linked to the state Ian Buruma is the first writer to provide a sharp eyed look at the tensions between religion and politics on three continents Drawing on many contemporary and historical examples he argues that the violent passions inspired by religion must be tamed in order to make democracy work Comparing the United States and Europe Buruma asks why so many Americans and so few Europeans see religion as a help to democracy Turning to China and Japan he disputes the notion that only monotheistic religions pose problems for secular politics Finally he reconsiders the story of radical Islam in contemporary Europe from the case of Salman Rushdie to the murder of Theo van Gogh Sparing no one Buruma exposes the follies of the current culture war between defenders of Western values and multiculturalists and explains that the creation of a democratic European Islam is not only possible but necessary Presenting a challenge to dogmatic believers and dogmatic secularists alike Taming the Gods powerfully argues that religion and democracy can be compatible but only if religious and secular authorities are kept firmly apart
