Summary
The chapter critically discusses the normative implications of book's empirical findings. Drawing on survey data, it shows that a majority of African Muslims approve of some degree of religious regulation. It calls for more African participation in the debate surrounding religious liberty. It also outlines the further implications of the book for the study of statehood in Africa.
