With the rise of nationalism, populism, and radical Islamic Groups, both globalization and Islam are facing a strong wave resistance. There is increasing tension between a peaceful integrated global world and guarded exclusive orders that are strengthened by explosive divides. The current challenges offer an opportunity to reassess how the inclusive values of globalization and Islam are dynamic and resilient and how they can continue to present insights and inform, both for citizens and leaders on identity politics, governance as well as harmonious living in public and global life.
