| Summary: | After offering a careful and extensive caveat on what this book is not about, Andrew March affirms his subject as “a work of political theory that seeks to analyze Islamic (as opposed to Muslim) attitudes toward shared citizenship through a methodology of comparative political ethics.

In Part I, in two chapters, the author seeks to make a case for a comparative ethics for consensus, convergence, or moral agreement to address what he sees as reasonable reservations about his subject. |
