Beschreibung
In this book, the author assesses the social vision of three western Muslim intellectuals, Seyyed H. Nasr, Bassam Tibi and Tariq Ramadan. He compares and contrasts their ideas in order to show that modern Islamic thought is not monolithic, but pluralistic and they present different social visions for Islam in the West.
