Islam, Pluralism, and Identity Politics in the Modern World

The concepts of identity politics and pluralism have gained more weight in contemporary discourse on Islam. Identity politics, which highlight the distinctions and identities of specific groups, often pose difficulties to pluralism, which is a concept of diversity and the coexistence of several groups in one community. Islam is a religion that has over a billion followers worldwide, and as such, it is a topic of much discussion on its relationship to identity politics and pluralism. These three elements are intertwined and interact to shape social and political realities in different parts of the world, presenting a dynamic that is full of relevance and challenges.
