A critique of modern Islamic political thought on the 'state', this
book takes the form of a three-part dialogue with the West, with
Islamic tradition and with 20th-century Muslim thinkers. The author
discusses the divide between Islamic values and the basic
principles which guide Western political thought. He traces the
development of Muslim constitutional practice and considers the
current debate on the nature of and desirability for an 'Islamic
state'. He separates the problems that are internally derived from
the by-products of Western culture. Dr El-Affendi argues that if
Islamic values were brought to bear internationally, the entrenched
dogmas of Western political thought as much as both the
tradition-bound and modernist trends of Muslim thinking would have
to be revised. A must-read for those interested in the theory of
the Islamic State. This second edition contains a foreword by
Professor Ziauddin Sardar, a new introduction by the author, and
two new sections as appendices.
