Abstract

He also reframes the question to take into account an observation: that when Britain has pursued policies towards Muslims that are consistent with political liberalism, Muslim groups have responded by moving their ideas and institutions towards liberalism. Islam and the liberal state: national identity and the future of Muslim Britain: by Stephen H. Jones, London, I.B. Tauris/Bloomsbury, 2020 (2022 paperback), 256 pp., £26.09 (paperback), ISBN 9780755635269 However, there are a number of other efforts to create Islamic colleges in Britain that start not from established Islamic-world models but from secular British degree programmes, and Jones lauds these as efforts at bridge-building along "soft" philosophically liberal lines.
