March 1st, 2012 | This event celebrated the rollout of a new book, Religious Freedom: Why Now? Defending an Embattled Human Right, authored by RFP Associate Director Timothy Shah, under the auspices of the Witherspoon Institute's Task Force on International Religious Freedom, chaired by RFP Director Thomas Farr. The event was co-sponsored by the Religious Freedom Project and the Witherspoon Institute. The keynote address was delivered by Robert P. George of Princeton University. Panels featured a wide range of participants, including noted Muslim scholar Sheikh Hamza Yusuf.
Why now? Religious freedom is under sustained pressure today around the world. In some places, it is fair to say that religious freedom is under siege. The publication of Religious Freedom: Why Now? is a response to that sobering fact. Although scant attention is paid by governments, the academy, or the media, the implications of this crisis-and we contend that it is a crisis-are quite serious. A worldwide erosion of religious freedom is causing large-scale human suffering, grave injustice, and significant threats to international peace and security.
For the last three years, the Witherspoon Institute's Task Force on International Religious Freedom -- under Tom Farr's chairmanship -- has examined the various dimensions of the challenge faced by religious freedom, and has deliberated on the most effective policy responses by the United States and other governments around the world. In May 2011, the Witherspoon Institute convened an unprecedented interdisciplinary meeting in Princeton, New Jersey of more than thirty experts on the subject, from the fields of psychology, sociology, law, philosophy, theology, political science, and international relations. They included academics, policy analysts, and journalists, as well as advocates and adherents from a variety of religious traditions. The result was a focused discussion over two days of the basis of religious freedom, its present condition, and the prospects for its future.
Religious Freedom: Why Now? is the Task Force's considered statement on these matters. Drafted by RFP Associate Director Timothy Samuel Shah, with contributions from the Witherspoon Institute's Matthew J. Franck and the members of the Task Force, it is informed by insights from all these academic disciplines and religious traditions.

I agree with freedom of religion but can we agree to disagree on how to define freedom?
Everytime I hear the shaykh is always something interesting.
Hey ... what the hell do you mean ??? Shiekh Hamza doesn't do desperate efforts to be included under that category. There is a contradiction in your comment.
So what happened to some religious concept??? 🤔🤔🤔

Decieving skills 100%
Every abrahamic religion is totalitarian in its texts and practice. The dear leader's will is more important than the impact its will has on people. Once you believe that you have the rulership on your side that is the end all judge and executioner of the law it imposes, then the followers feel they are immune from the push back of people they are violating. To make a good person perform evil acts, you need them to be religious. Where you care more about appeasing the dear leader than you do for your fellow human, animal, planet, etc. Just following the orders of the dear leader is just shelving your ability to ever morally assess your actions because you've convinced yourself, through the masochistic dehumanization of people, that people are born broken and are unable to discover the good for humanity, so you appeal to a dear leader for all moral practice and governance regardless of its actual impact through your actions. What every religious person needs to understand, just because you believe your deity's moral position is correct, does not mean that any else should care about what your deity wants. You have to argue and convince people of your moral assessments and actions. Its not an authoritarian dictation that makes this correct. Its not having the power to enforce your argument that makes your moral assessment correct.
"to make a good person perform evil acts, you need them to be religious"
whoever believes this horeshit needs to open a history book and pick literally any war in the 20th century. non-religious seculars have literally rationalized using nukes, "it ended the war faster", you're embarrassing yourself.
Peace and freedom is in christ. Just recive it, All is free just test it.
danny daniel yes that's right, but under the umbrella of Islam.
True Christ is in Islam brother
It's a shame how, to some people, freedom of religion only means, "Freedom to follow MY religion."
