This year’s jury for the Ibn Rushd Prize, consisting of Elizabeth Kassab (Lebanon/Doha), Khazaal Al-Majidi (Iraq/Netherlands), Asma Lamrabet (Morocco) and Nazmi Al-Jubeh (Palestine), chose as runners-up Omézine Ben Chikha Almeskini (Tunisia) because of “her valuable philosophical contributions towards a liberal understanding of religion”, and Abdeljabbar Rifai (Iraq) because of “his decades long effort to open up new horizons to religious thought even beyond the confines of one religion and one area, despite huge adversities that befell Iraq in recent history” (quotes from the jury’s justification).
The following day, September 9, at Forum Factory Berlin on the same topic from 14:00: Freedom and Religion: An Ibn Rushd Conference on Religious Freedom, Politics and Democracy.
