One of the most interesting consequences of the Arab awakening has
been the central role of Salafists in a number of countries. In
particular, there seems to have been a move away from traditional
quietism towards an increasing degree of politicisation. The
arrival on the political scene of Salafist parties in Egypt,
Tunisia, and Yemen, as well as the seemingly growing desire of
Salafists in other Arab countries to enter institutional politics
through the creation of political parties, high- lights quite
clearly the debates and divisions on how to react to the awakening
within Salafist circles. This book examines in detail how Salafism,
both theologically and politically, is contending with the Arab
uprisings across a number of countries. The focus is primarily on
what kind of politicisation, if any, has taken place and what forms
it has adopted. As some of the contributions make clear,
politicisation does not necessarily diminish the role of jihad or
the influence of quietism, revealing tensions and struggles within
the complex world of Salafism.
