Based on eyewitness accounts and original interviews, this bold new
work provides a vivid portrayal of the evolving political and
cultural role played by Islamic fundamentalist movements. Drawing
on his firsthand experiences, Mark Huband moves deep inside the
contemporary Islamic movements of countries as diverse as Morocco
and Afghanistan.Huband reveals how Western powers have contributed
to the rise of Islamic movements by their earlier support of the
Afghan Islamic resistance and gives detailed accounts of his
discussions with militant groups, Muslim scholars, and political
opponents of the Islamic movements.Enriching these discussions, the
author contextualizes the movements by exploring their historical
and intellectual framework. The book uniquely illustrates the
variety found within the movements, as well as the range of
relationships the Islamic movements have to the various countries
in which they are active."Warriors of the Prophet" details the
current crisis in Algeria; the disappointments of Arab nationalism
and socialist experiments in Egypt; the social breakdown of Somalia
in relation to the ideal of an Islamic way of life; the disaffected
youth in the Islamic movements of Morocco, Egypt, and elsewhere;
and the Islamic experiment and its relationship with the
non-Islamic world as revealed in Sudan's experience since 1989.
Through these insightful accounts, Huband gives us a penetrating
exploration of one of the major issues of the late twentieth
century.
