Elham Manea

Discussing her new book, The Perils of Non-Violent Islamism (Telos Press), Elham Manea describes her experience of a tolerant Islam in Morocco, the traditionalism of Yemen, and her own encounter with Islamist indoctrination. She explores the nuanced relationship between the politics of Islamism and its selective reading of religious traditions, and she comments on current French policies against Islamist "separatism" and the upcoming referendum in Switzerland that would prohibit wearing the niqab. She ends with a report on a reform movement within Islam.

David Pan and Russell Berman talk with Elham Manea about her new book, The Perils of Nonviolent Islamism (Telos Press, 2021).

Arab women in Arab states and in Israel: How Arab countries see Israel from the gender prism? Is there misperception of Israel in this matter?

How can Israel improve the sensitive area of family laws in regards to Arab Israeli women in order to advance its democracy?
