Review
"A comprehensive study that puts forward among other useful interpretations the idea that Islamic fundamentalism represents "the latest and perhaps the last attempt to establish a totalitarian Islamic state." Choueiri also demonstrates that even Islamists most intent on rejecting the "other" in favor of an Islamist authenticity often rely on ideologies advanced by outsiders." - Professor L. Carl Brown, Princeton University, USA

"Islamic Fundamentalism is a modern phenomenon which has arisen from the conflict and confrontation between the values and ideology of the Moslem world with both Western capitalism and communism. By viewing Islamic Fundamentalism a a reactive challenge to modern civilization and political structures, Dr. Choueiri has produced a striking analysis of how and why Islamic values have become such a poent contemporary political force and he sheds light on a much misunderstood and misread situation. Islam was classically a movement of conquest and expansion, but under pressure from external values and interests, it has become in its fundamentalist version, defensive, introverted and deeply conservative seeking to exclude, violently if need be, all Western influence.".
