Islam's Resistance to Secularization
In this chapter, they discuss the argument that Islam is exceptional in its relationship to law, politics, and governance, and that it has proven to be resistant to secularization. They explore the differences between the New Testament and the Quran in addressing these issues, as well as the significance of the Quran being considered the actual speech of God. The chapter also touches upon the lack of critical analysis and textual scholarship of the Quran compared to the New Testament, and the challenges of bringing Muslims on board with critical engagement of their sacred text.
