The Future of Islam in Iran

Edited by Reza Alijani

In this ground-breaking volume, Reza Alijani brings together leading Iranian thinkers for a series of candid, searching conversations about the future role of Islam in Iran’s social and political life. They grapple with pressing questions: After the experiences of ISIS, the Taliban, Wahhabism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and decades of Islamic rule in Iran, can Islam still offer a path to progress? Is a constructive reformist vision possible, or must Iran imagine a future in which religion retreats to the private sphere? A bold and essential exploration of the crossroads facing Iran and the wider Muslim world.
