(2013) Being a muslim in the world, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Abstract: In Chapter 5, I ask how the terms "religion" and 'state" be separated—what does it mean to ask for a secular politics, divorced from people's sacred certitudes? By analyzing three Arabic/Persian words: din (religion), dowlat (state), and donya (world), I raise the linguistic horizon we need to revisit as we come ashore to a new globality of our consciousness.
