"Pourman represents a bartender, a coffee server, a direction. Library represents a place of study, adventure, character. Together Pourman's Library becomes a destination. Have you ever been here? It is an awesome place ... A beautiful figure appears on the stage, a spotlight directed around her - only around her. Music is heard from the orchestra, unseen, with brass, strings, and a voice - a soft voice. A breeze surrounds the young man watching, smiling, now thinking. He thinks of what ifs, where's, and why's. This lady, in my dreams for as long as I can remember, could never be mine, but now ... she dances. Are we sharing the same dream? ... A young man follows his instincts through a quaint little house located on the edge of a small town. His feet barely lift from the floor as he takes one step at a time with a gentle pace.

In Christine Schirrmacher's postdoctoral thesis, for the first time one finds reviews of original voices coming from Islamic theology on the topic of religious freedom and apostasy. Arabic, English, French, and Urdu texts have been translated and analyzed and thus made accessible. There are basically three positions which are defended on falling away from the Islamic faith: Complete advocacy of religious freedom, the complete denial of religious freedom with a call for the immediate application of the death penalty for apostates, and the centrist position. The centrist position, however, which allows inner freedom of thought and warns against premature persecution, calls for the death penalty in the case of open apostasy (e.g., in the case of conversion to another faith). Within established Islamic theology, the latter approach is nowadays the most frequent point of view found. These three main positions on apostasy are introduced in this postdoctoral thesis by means of the publications of three influential 20th century theologians: Yusuf al-Qaradawi (b. 1926), Abdullah Saeed (b. 1960), and Abu l-A'la Maududi (1903-1979). They all have followings of many millions of people and have political influence at their disposal. The study explains why in many Muslim majority countries there is still today only very limited or sometimes no freedom of religion (in the sense of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948) for converts, critical intellectuals, artists and progressive Quranic studies specialists, journalists and secularists, agnostics and confessing atheists, enlightened thinkers, women's rights and human rights activists as well as adherents of non-recognized minorities.
