Engaging Islamic Radicalisation through Education: The Challenge and Promise of Teaching Muslim Constitutional Law

Ebrahim Afsah

Engaging Islamic Radicalisation through Education: The Challenge and Promise of Teaching Muslim Constitutional Law

CECS - Centre for European and Comparative Legal Studies

Abstract

Based on the experience of teaching a very complex and fairly controversial online course on Muslim constitutional law, my proposed presentation aims to show the unique potential of MOOCs to popularise objective social-science findings about the genesis of current state failure, provide a forum for an exchange of very diverse viewpoints across geographical, ethnic, sectarian, and religious divides, and ultimately challenge conventional wisdom among participants.
