Abstract

Three Muslim American intellectuals—Abdulaziz Sachedina, M. A. Muqtedar Khan, and Khaled Abou El Fadl—address the challenge of navigating Islam and liberal conceptions of religious freedom. Sachedina affirms freedom of conscience and religion through an inclusive theology grounded in universal moral guidance. Khan appeals to political philosophy to promote democracy and rights for women and minorities. Fadl speaks and writes widely on Islamic law, democracy, pluralism, tolerance, and human rights. These intellectuals’ discourse on religious freedom may help build and maintain support among Muslims for religious freedom as a human right.
