The Future of Islam in the Middle East Fundamentalism in Egypt, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia
The Future of Islam in the Middle East: An important new study that assesses comparatively the future of Islamic fundamentalism in three key countries:
Egypt, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia. Islamism has witnessed an upsurge and new-found zealotry and stridency in the post-Gulf War period, but its real fortunes have fallen far short of expectations, according to Mahmud Faksh.
Indeed, as outlined in this work, it is now being stymied on many fronts.
The book focuses on the limits of Islamic fundamentalism as a system of thought, as well as a force for changing the established order.
And it shows that the threat of an Islamic avalanche―despite assorted high-profile, militant activities―is overstated, unrealistic, and lacking in credibility.
