MOERN ISLAMIST MOVEMENT
History, Religion, and Politics
"A lucidly written and comparative portrayal of radical Islamist movements and doctrines in the Middle East and South Asia. Armajani offers an especially compelling portrayal of the emergence of al-Qaida and the Taliban." Juan E. Campo, University of California, Santa Barbara
"Rich and thorough, Armajani explores the historical, intellectual, and political contexts crucial to understanding contemporary Islamist political ideologies. Its comparative framework and comprehensive treatment recommends it as a valuable classroom resource." Monica M. Ringer, Amherst College
Islamism has become one of the most potent political and religious movements of our time. Modern Islamist Movements provides a clear and accessible examination of the histories, beliefs, and rationales of various Islamist groups; it includes discussions of their humanitarian and militant aspects as well as their grievances with respect to the West and governments within the majority-Muslim world. The book also examines some Islamist groups' reasons for desiring a global Islamic state and their visions for it.
Beginning with a thorough introduction to various trends within Islamism, this volume analyzes the formation and development of such groups and trends as Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaida, Hamas, the Wahhabis, Pakistan's Jama(at-i Islami, and the Taliban. The book then discusses the historic evolution of various institutions and ideas related to Islamist groups in Egypt, the West Bank and Gaza, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Exploring several Islamic understandings of jihad and explaining the Islamists' interpretations of this concept, this book sheds light on the thought and ideologies of Islamists within the broader context of Islam and its history.
