First three page paper
POLS 4333 Fall 2003

Due September 25, 2003

In what manner and to what extent do Mernissi, Ruthven, and Hourani agree or disagree about the compatibility of Islam and democracy? 

Of course something that you need to look for is if there are inconsistencies between them.  Inconsistencies can be internal (within a single author’s work) or external (between the authors).  You may not find any. 

In any case this paper will not be graded based on what you think, but rather on how well you put your argument together and use evidence.  You may use outside sources, but remember that this paper is maximum of 3 pages long and that you must prove that you have indeed read the material without summarizing.

Do not summarize.

In fact I encourage you to delete the first three pages that you write.

Enjoy.
