The past thirty years have witnessed the rise of political parties
and other formal groups in the Middle East and elsewhere with
Islamic agendas, a phenomenon that has both surprised and
frightened many in the West. Events from the Iranian Revolution of
1978-79 to the attacks of September 11, 2001, have led some to
conclude that the United States is on a collision course with
Islam, the religion of one-fifth of the world's population. This
sourcebook aims to enhance our understanding of the Islamist
phenomenon by presenting some forty documents, written by Islamists
themselves, which shed light on the origins, goals, and practices
of Islamic-focused groups and movements throughout the Muslim
world. Each document is identified and analyzed as to its
significance. The documentary section of the work is followed by an
extensive bibliography and reference guide of relevant print and
electronic resources Islamism: A Documentary and Reference Guide
provides firsthand accounts of the most important periods in the
rise of radical Islam: BLTheological Foundations of Islamism -- The
writings of the early Islamic revivalist thinkers who are
influential among Islamists today. BLIslamist Thinkers and
Movements -- The writings of those leaders who, since the 1920s,
influenced movements and organizations calling for the
establishment of Islamic states. BLGlobal Jihad -- beginning in the
1980s and through the 1990s, writers merged political radicalism
with religious revivalism to promote the most radical form of
Islamism that we see today. Each translation, many of them created
for this book, has an introductory essay by the editor to place the
work in its historical context.
