Ravza Altunta?-Cak?r proposes a framework of Muslim democracy that reconciles public claims made by Muslims with the normative and practical demands of democratic regimes. This book examines the ideals, institutions and processes that shape the development of a concrete Muslim-based democratic system a form of democracy that recognises the centrality of religion in Muslim societies. Questioning the customary characterisations of Islam's compatibility with democracy, the book adopts a comparative political theory approach that initiates a dialogue between Muslim and Western political thought. It systematically studies debates concerning Muslim political thought, multiculturalism, secularism, the public sphere and constitutionalism, which enables an exploration of Muslim democracy through a political theory approach, rather than a theological one.

In deconstructing the ‘Turkish model’, Ravza Altuntaş-Çakır adroitly unravels a contemporary paradox: the reconciliation of faith and pluralist participation. Her masterful exploration of Islamic writings and political theory substantiates that Muslim democracy can, indeed must, have normative roots. It is a bold and inspiring call to rethink democracy as merely instrumental and Muslim societies as narrowly doctrinal.
