	Cultural Differences Explain Muslim Reaction to Danish Cartoons, Sachedina Says
		U.Va. religious studies professor Abdulaziz Sachedina sees the current tumult and its geopolitical ramifications as reflective of the interconnection between religion and universal human needs and values.
		Sachedina said that the idea of “no harm, no harassment”—an important principle in Islamic law—should limit negative statements about another person or party.
		Though the violent reaction to the cartoons lacked legitimacy in his view, Sachedina remarked that merely ignoring the issue and its implications on the sacred beliefs of a particular religious group is neither a reasonable nor viable solution.

	FT April 2002: The Islamic Roots of Democratic Pluralism and The Monks of Tibhirine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Abdulaziz Sachedina is a man with a mission.
		According to Sachedina, the Koran is, as it were, agnostic on the manner of submission (at least for adherents of the Abrahamic tradition); it is adamant only that those refusing to do so at all are destined to end up losers in the world to come.
		And so the author proceeds, finding in the Koran evidence, convincing in his view, that authentic Islam is friendly to human rights and freedom of conscience, compatible with democracy, and prone not to war and violence but to the quest for justice and peace.

		SACHEDINA: I think it will be also impossible to have an Islamic university, with all the standards that we apply in the academic work.

	Cover Story
		Imam Abdulaziz Sachedina, a professor of religious studies at the University of Virginia, acknowledged the growth of dialogue among Muslim and Christian leaders and scholars but asked, "When dialogue takes place at the official level, is it reaching the people?
		Besides urging popular outreach to extend dialogue and understanding beyond the upper levels of Islam and Catholicism, Imam Sachedina said along with dialogue there is need for "diapractice," or collaboration between Muslims and Catholics based on "the common ethic that we all share" of helping those in need and working for justice.
		Imam Sachedina praised the church's Second Vatican Council for recognizing the rights of religious freedom and the need for governments to respect religious pluralism.

		Late last spring, I guess, early summer, Professor Sachedina gave a lecture through the good auspices of the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy, and in which he addressed the question of the responsibility of Muslim intellectuals, especially American Muslim intellectuals, to address the pressing questions in a candid, honest and energetic fashion.
		Modernity is what I call the external force and conformity to the general way in which we deal with the things.
		I draw the conclusion that is impossible to be a Catholic university.
