"Among the Believers is a masterly examination of one of the most powerful forces at work in the world today. 'The Believers' are Moslem men and women, most of them young, who are trying to regain the original purity of their faith in the belief that it can bring jsutice and order to their disoriented world. V.S. Naipaul travelled to meet them in Iran, where they have triumphed over a detested regime; in Pakistan, where their ideal founders in a State especially created for Moslems; and in Malaysia and Indonesia, societies which are alike only in the fact that in them, too, Islam is in a state of ferment". Locale: Indonesia; Iran; Malaysia; Pakistan. (Religion--Eastern, Belief, Eastern Religions, Faith, Islam, Mohammedanism, Religion--Eastern, Travel).
Sinopsis
Among the Believers; An Islamic Journey, written by V. S. Naipaul, describes a six-month journey across the Asian continent after the Iranian Revolution. V. S. Naipaul explores the culture and explosive situations in countries where Islamic fundamentalism was growing. He begins his travels in Iran, to Pakistan, Malaysia, and comes to an end in Indonesia with a short stop in Pakistan and Iran upon return to the UK. The aim of the author was to study culture with a long pre-Islamic history and their modern attempts to establish a religious state. A controversial work, this has been one of Naipaul's better-selling publications and after the book's publication, Naipaul was awarded the Jerusalem Prize. In 1998 Naipaul published a sequel Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions among the Converted Peoples.
