Militant Islam provides a sociological framework for understanding
the rise and character of recent Islamic militancy. It takes a
systematic approach to the phenomenon and includes analysis of
cases from around the world, comparisons with militancy in other
religions, and their causes and consequences. The sociological
concepts and theories examined in the book include those associated
with social closure, social movements, nationalism, risk, fear and
'de-civilising'. These are applied within three main themes;
characteristics of militant Islam, multi-layered causes and the
consequences of militancy, in particular Western reactions within
the 'war on terror'. Interrelationships between religious and
secular behaviour, 'terrorism' and 'counter-terrorism', popular
support and opposition are explored. Through the examination of
examples from across Muslim societies and communities, the analysis
challenges the popular tendency to concentrate upon 'al-Qa'ida' and
the Middle East. This book will be of interest to students of
Sociology, Political Science and International Relations, in
particular those taking courses on Islam, religion, terrorism,
political violence and related regional studies.
