| 10372. ISLAM AND POLITICS. A study of the "Islamic resurgence" in the Middle East, its connection with Arab politics, its influence on Arab-Western relations, and its effect on Western perceptions of Islamic peoples. Traces the history of Islamic institutions in the Arab Middle East, explores the reasons behind the recent Islamic resurgence, distinguishes between Sunni Islam and the special case of Iran, and analyzes the political aspects of Islamic movements. Argues against the popular Western notion that all Islamic movements are off-shoots of the Iranian Revolution and its predispostion for rule by fire and sword. 45 pages, 41 footnotes, 14 bibliographic sources. |
