Quotes by Michael A. Cook (?)

“Muslim intellectuals
need to be able to adopt the ways of the modern West without
looking like shameless collaborators and at the same time to oppose
the power of the West without looking hopelessly anachronistic.”
― Michael Alan Cook, Ancient Religions, Modern Politics: The Islamic Case in Comparative Perspective

“No compulsion is there in religion. Rectitude has become clear from error. (Q2:256) We can dub this the 鈥榥o compulsion鈥� verse. It does not compromise the notion of absolute religious truth, but it strongly suggests that the true religion can nonetheless coexist with any and all forms of false religion.”
― Michael Alan Cook, The Koran: A Very Short Introduction
