On Salafism offers a compelling new understanding of this
phenomenon, both its development and contemporary manifestations.
Salafism became associated with fundamentalism when the 9/11
Commission used it to explain the terror attacks and has since been
connected with the violence of the so-called Islamic State. With
this book, Azmi Bishara critically deconstructs claims of
continuity between early Islam and modern militancy and makes a
counterargument: Salafism is a wholly modern construct informed by
specific sociopolitical contexts. Bishara offers a sophisticated
account of various movements-such as Wahabbism and
Hanbalism-frequently collapsed into simplistic understandings of
Salafism. He distinguishes reformist from regressive Salafism, and
examines patterns of modernization in the development of
contemporary Islamic political movements and associations. In
deconstructing the assumptions of linear continuity between
traditional and contemporary movements, Bishara details various
divergences in both doctrine and context of modern Salafisms,
plural. On Salafism is a crucial read for those interested in
Islamism, jihadism, and Middle East politics and history.
