This is a very stimulating study that successfully and productively combines a discourse analysis approach with socio-political investigation of the world situation after September 11th. The study in fact reveals more than it seems to convey about the two fundamentalist powers, international terrorism and the 'war against terrorism'. They are the sound and the echo, or the image and its reflection, thus reveals Azza Karam's book., This is a solid selection of original articles, including several unique case studies on Muslims and politics in Europe. In contrast to the usual fare, which is all too often a mile wide and an inch deep, these are solid, serious, and provocative pieces that open new vistas of understanding and ask novel questions. This is precisely the collection of new pieces that the informed reader will want in hand as he or she grapples with understanding Political Islam as a transnational phenomenon., 'Presents a unique insight into the relations between political Islam or Islamism in the Muslim world and its links within the western world. Rather than the simplistic notion of Islamism as terrorism, the authors of this collection argue for a more profound and subtle understanding of the intersection between religion and politics. This volume is a must for students of Islam and politics', Transnational Political Islam presents a unique insight into the relations between political Islam or Islamism in the Muslim world and its links - conceptually and organizationally - within the western world. Rather thanthe simplistic notion of Islamism as terrorism, the authors of thiscollection argue for a more profound and subtle understanding of theintersection between religion and politics globally and locally, whilesimultaneously warning of the triggers of radicalism inherent in allsocieties during these critical times.

Synopsis
Political Islam, to be distinguished from Islam as a culture or a religion, and from Islamic Fundamentalism, is an increasingly important feature of the western political scene. The ideologies of Political Islam reflect the fact that some of their adherents live and work within a Western socio-political context. With a range of outstanding contributors that includes academics and human rights advocates this book tackles the diversity of Islamist thinking and practice in various Western countries and explores their transnational connections in both East and West. The book analyses developments in Islamist thinking and activities, and their connections to the latest global political and economic trends, and discusses future evolutions of the ideology and its manifestations., Political Islam, to be distinguished from Islam as a culture or a religion, and from Islamic Fundamentalism, is an increasingly important feature of the western political scene. The ideologies of Political Islam reflect the fact that some of their adherents live and work within a Western socio-political context. Although Political Islam has been widely written about in Muslim countries, very little has been published the West, and this book attempts to redress that imbalance. With a range of outstanding contributors that includes academics and human rights advocates this book tackles the diversity of Islamist thinking and practice in various Western countries and explores their transnational connections in both East and West. The book analyses developments in Islamist thinking and activities, and their connections to the latest global political and economic trends, and discusses future evolutions of the ideology and its manifestations.
