About this listen

Religious-liberty lawyer Asma Uddin has long considered her work defending people of all faiths to be a calling more than a job. Yet even as she seeks equal protection for Evangelicals, Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Native Americans, Jews, and Catholics alike, she has seen an ominous increase in attempts to criminalize Islam and exclude American Muslims from their inalienable rights. Somehow, the view that Muslims aren’t human enough for human rights or constitutional protections is moving from the fringe to the mainstream - along with the claim “Islam is not a religion.” This conceit affects all Americans because the loss of liberty for one means the loss of liberties for everyone.

When Islam Is Not a Religion also looks at how faith in America is being secularized and politicized and what repercussions this has on debates about religious freedom and diversity. Woven throughout this national saga is Uddin’s own story. She combines her experience as a person of Muslim faith and her legal and philosophical appreciation that all individuals have a right to religious liberty. Uddin examines the shifting tides of American culture and outlines a way forward for individuals and communities navigating today’s culture wars.

Sincere analysis of America’s religious culture wars

A thoughtful examination of the legal frameworks that exist to protect religious freedoms, the arguments used in the America’s most infamous cases, and the lived realities that can sometimes lead us to betray our most deeply held values.

Great performance by the reader as well.

A disgusting way to end an otherwise great book

Asma T. Uddin’s book is overall a good review on why religious liberty is important but her use of this so called religious “liberty” to encourage the suppression of the rights for other disenfranchised groups is utterly disgusting. I expected so much more. The fact alone that she frames abstention from abortion in the same light as abstention from military service shows a deep misunderstanding and bigoted view on non religious minority issues.
