Islamism revisited

Article Abstract:

Contemporary Islamism is a response to the domestic political situation in many Muslim countries, as well as to US and western policies in the Muslim world, however, it is also about religious assertion and the forging of an alternative ideology, not only as a means of empowerment but also as a means of establishing a particular social order. The debate is internal and global one and in many ways reflects the struggles of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries for political and cultural independence.
