ILN Positions
Our mission is to advance the understanding of religious, political, and economic freedom for peace and prosperity in Muslim majority countries and beyond.
We were founded in 2011 to bring together researchers, academics, and public intellectuals to demonstrate the consistency of the universal values of religious, political and economic freedom with Islam. Our research outputs show that Islam is not just consistent with freedom; indeed Islam requires freedom.
Our annual programme includes an international conference, training workshops, and publishing articles, papers, podcasts and webinars which reach thousands of interested individuals.
Islam and Liberty Network was awarded Asia Liberty Award for 2020 for “establishing a Muslim case for free society” for its work in Asia and Middle East.
Legally the Islam & Liberty Network is registered as a Labuan foundation in Malaysia. It is governed by our international Council.

Prof. Acar’s insights into the tensions between economic freedom and state intervention, exploring how countries can navigate these pressures while safeguarding market liberties and democratic values.

Tunisia has been considered a beacon of representative democracy in the Arab world.
Since the 2011 Arab Spring, Muslim-majority countries have witnessed rising pressures and expectations from their citizens to ensure the protection of human rights while undergoing democratic transitions.
Discussions on human rights and democracy in the Muslim world inevitably include the formation of pro-democratic coalitions between secularists and Islamists, the impact of secularist fears and constituencies on political dynamics, and the prospects for political moderation.
By examining the failure of Tunisia’s democratic transition, how do we analyze the similarities and differences among democratizing nations with significant Muslim populations?
Thank you to our esteemed speaker, Dr. Radwan A. Masmoudi, President of the Center for the Study of Islam & Democracy (CSID) for spending time to inform, educate, and answer our questions throughout the webinar.

Democracy is conducive for good governance, human rights and accountability, thus empowering citizens to change their governments. However, democracies can also become plutocracies and captured by the deep state. They may also initiate colonial conquests, wars of aggression and crimes against humanity.
Is liberal democracy on the rise or on a path to decline in the world, particularly in the Muslim societies? A big thank you to our esteemed speakers for delivering such valuable insights in this enlightening event and to our fellow participants for making this first webinar a success.
