Benjamin Barber 7 December 2010

«We need to examine what we mean by religion and by democracy, and which kind of religion is compatible with which democracy. We should not talk about Islam but Islams, not Christianity but Christianities, not liberal democracy but liberal democracies – says in this Resetdoc videointerview Benjamin Barber, president and director of the international NGO CivWorld at Demos and author of Jihad vs. McWorld and Consumed – There is a natural and healthy tension between religion and the state, but at the same time there is a complementarity between them. Despotism doesn’t need religion, liberty does.»
