About this Item

First printing. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is like new. 178 pages. "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.".
