Democracy and Human Rights in Islam, Rached Ghannouchi argues that democracy and human rights should not be seen as alien to Islamic law, theology, and philosophy. Instead, he posits that an authentic reading of Islam's sacred texts aligns with human rights, democracy, and freedom, and that these are urgently needed in Muslim countries, whose development is stymied by different forms of authoritarianism. The book offers an authoritative critique of other strands of Islamist thought that seek to reject democracy, women's rights, and human rights. It advances a theory of Muslim democratic governance that respects political, cultural, and religious pluralism.
