Secularism and Its Religious Implications

This chapter examines secularism as a construct rooted in Western Christian traditions, challenging the notion of a neutral political framework. It discusses its impact on other faiths, particularly Islam and Judaism, and posits that secularism actively seeks to reshape religious practices and moral frameworks. Through a critical analysis, the chapter highlights the evolving nature of free speech, Palestinian nationalism, and the complexities of religious laws, inviting engagement on these significant themes.
