Abstract		Muslims have a broad range of views on the relation of religion and politics, but all Muslims agree that there is an intimate relation based on the principle that God rules all of life. The author provides a window on the intricacy of Muslim society, its debates on the public role of faith, and the challenge implied for Christian theology.
