CPAC 2015 - Can Islam and Democracy Co-Exist?

Zuri Jasser discusses the conflict between Islamism—the political movement to establish theocracies—and democracy. He argues that violent extremism is a symptom of a deeper ideological pathology. To achieve peace and human rights, Jasser advocates for the separation of mosque and state, the empowerment of Muslim reformers, and a global commitment to liberty and reason.
