In the wake of the September 11 and subsequent terrorist attacks,
the academic and media commentaries on Islam the religion and Islam
the basis for political ideology haves received an unprecedented
high level of exposure and attention. The acts of political
violence by extremist groups and the omnipresent war on terror have
added fresh uncertainties to an already complex global order. Just
as terrorism and counter-terrorism are locked in a mutually
re-enforcing symbiosis, the sense of insecurity felt by Muslims and
non-Muslims alike is mutually dependent and has the potential to
escalate. This general assessment holds true for Muslims living in
the Muslim world and beyond. The pervasive sense of being under
attack physically and culturally by the United States and its
allies has contributed to a growing unease among Muslims and
re-enforced deep-seated mistrust of the `West'. Public articulation
of such misgivings has in turn, lent credence to Western observers
who posit an inherent antipathy between the West and the Muslim
world. The subsequent policies that have emerged in this context of
fear and mutual distrust have contributed to the vicious cycle of
insecurity.The present volume is anchored in the current debates on
the uneasy and potentially mutually destructive relationship
between the Muslim world and certain West countries. It brings
together leading international scholars in this interdisciplinary
field to deal with such inter-related questions as the nature of
Islamism, the impact of the `war on terror' on the spread of
militancy, the growing sense of being under siege by Muslim
Diasporas and the many unintended ramifications of a
security-minded world order. This volume deliberately focuses on
these issues both at a broad theoretical level but more importantly
in the form of a number of prominent case studies including
Indonesia, Algeria and Turkey.This edition includes a new
introduction.
