Islamist movements seeking power today are faced with difficult
choices regarding strategy, ranging from armed struggle to
electoral efforts. An emerging alternative consists of a rethinking
of Islamist politics, where the goal of a "totally Islamic" polity
would be abandoned in favor of some form of Islamic-oriented
society. In this reformulation, Islamist politics would function as
a pressure group to make society more Islamic, reinforcing the
walls of semi-separate internal communities and reinterpreting
Islam in more liberal ways. The September 11, 2001 terror attack on
the United States, however, demonstrates that the radical approach
remains attractive to many Islamists. Addressing these issues, the
contributors look at the countries where Islamist movements have
been most important. Case studies of revolutionary and reformist
groups are followed by chapters discussing future alternatives for
Islamist politics, presenting arguments both advocating and
critical of a potential liberal, reformist, interest-group
Islamism.
