What many people don't know is that the concept and principles of liberalism are derived from Islam, which predates the establishment of liberalism by 1000 years. Some might ask, how can liberalism be linked to religions when one of the main reasons for the existence of this movement is to confront religious authority? How can liberalism derive its concepts and principles from sources that oppose 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 has been one of the historical roots of liberalism." Will Kymlicka did not specifically link liberalism to Islam, but this book will demonstrate that liberal concepts and principles are largely, if not entirely, derived from Islam.
