The Many Faces of Political Islam, Second Edition
Religion and Politics in Muslim Societies
2nd Edition
A comprehensive examination of the true relationship between Islam and global politics
Description
Analysts and pundits from across the American political spectrum describe Islamic fundamentalism as one of the greatest threats to modern, Western-style democracy. Yet very few non-Muslims would be able to venture an accurate definition of political Islam. Fully revised and updated, The Many Faces of Political Islam thoroughly analyzes the many facets of this political ideology and shows its impact on global relations.

Reviews
"On the whole, the book is a useful single-volume read... It does an excellent job of taking us beyond the superficial lenses of newspaper columns, social media debates, and TV commentaries. Anyone interested in the texture of Muslim politics in the contemporary world will find much of value here."
