Democracy Paradox Elisabeth Ivarsflaten and Paul Sniderman on the Inclusion and Respect of Muslim Minorities
If you're actually a real person and you're living your life and you're going into stores and you're riding on a bus or your kids are going to school, what matters is that you be treated with respect. That you have a dignity. And that, I think, at every point that matters most to us is what the book has wound up being about. It’s an essay on respect as a condition of a liberal democracy.
