Foltz (Oxford: One World, 2006. 192 pages.)	2007.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1122	34	41	In his peculiarly self-abasing preface to Animals in Islamic Tradition and Muslim Cultures, Richard Foltz speculates that the audience for his book will probably consist of “non-Muslims who are sympathetic to Muslim cul- ture and interested in learning more about what it has to offer in terms of animal rights” (p. xii). The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences 24:2 That being the case, Animals in Islamic Tradition does seem to have, if not a thesis, then at least a slant: it is clearly concerned with championing ani- mal rights and identifying the sources from which an Islamic emphasis on animal rights, an Islamic vegetarianism, and the like might justify them- selves.	cache/ajiss-1556.pdf	txt/ajiss-1556.txt
