What many people do not know is that the concept and principles of liberalism are derived from Islam, which predates liberalism by 1,000 years. Some may wonder how liberalism and religion can be linked, given that one of the most important reasons for the existence of this movement is to confront religious authority. How does liberalism derive its concepts and principles from sources that are hostile to it? This question was answered by the contemporary Canadian political philosopher Will Kymlicka, who said: "There is a close relationship between liberalism and tolerance, both historically and conceptually, and 'the development of religious tolerance was one of the historical roots of liberalism.'" Will Kymlicka did not specifically link liberalism to Islam, but this book will prove that the concepts and principles of liberalism are often, if not entirely, derived from Islam.
