Radical Islam

About this book

In recent years radical fundamentalists have had a formidable intellectual and social impact on Sunni Islam countries such as Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon. This highly acclaimed book by an eminent Arabist focuses on the development of Sunni Muslim fundamentalism, discussing how it rejected Western values, broke with pan-Arabism, and took on an activist political position. This enlarged edition contains a new chapter, “In the Shadow of Khomeini,” which considers the growth and influences of Shi’ite radicalism since the Iranian Revolution, reviews the principal areas of controversy between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims, and assesses whether rapprochement between the two groups is likely.
