Militant Islamists

Release Date: 2009-05-30
In this book, Alaolmolki, an expert on the transnational politics of Central Asia and the Persian Gulf, provides a global view of militant Islamist ideologies, activities, and connections. Unlike many extant books on this topic, Militant Islamists does not examine only one particular factor or driving force in political violence such as suicide bombings; rather, this work studies transnational militant Islam on several levels: domestic (e.g., the role of poverty and lack of democracy in Arab and Muslim nations); regional (e.g., the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; Hizbullah in Lebanon; Jemmah Islamiyan in Southeast Asia; Hizb al-Tahrir in Central Asia); global (e.g., the role of the United States and Western Europe in inadvertently helping transnational Islamists). Ultimately, the author traces the effects of the U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq on militant Islamist terrorism, concluding that militant Islam is spreading, not receding, and that the United States would better rely on soft, rather than hard (military), power to overcome it.

Militant Islam
Author: Godfrey H. Jansen
language: en
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Release Date: 1979
"G.H. Jansen's analysis examines the militancy of Islam from 1800 to the present, emphasizing the resurgence of that militancy in the last decade. He shows us the traditionalists such as the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran and General Zia of Pakistan who want to take Islam back to strict adherence to the precepts of the Koran, the men of religion anxious to maintain the status quo, and the reformers trying to adapt the faith to the demands of the modern world"--Back cover.
