What is the relationship between Islam and liberal democracy? How can Muslim countries achieve greater degrees of political competition, adherence to the rule of law and a separation of power between religion and state?
In this episode of the 'Solutions With David Ansara' podcast, I speak to Professor Hussein Solomon, Head of the Department of Political Science at the University of the Free State, about the problem of radical Islam today and the countervailing forces of moderation and secularisation in the Muslim world.
Prof. Solomon and I also discuss whether democracy is an exclusively Western idea, the role of political institutions and economic growth in creating fertile conditions for democracy to flourish, and the security threat posed by extremist Islamic insurgencies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
