Un livre que j'ai trouvé très intéressant pour se faire une idée sur l'évolution de l'islamisme, ses succès, ses échecs, sa radicalisation et son avenir.Pas toujours très facile de tout suivre, parmi la multitude de noms, d'organisations, de dates, mais on arrive à retirer des choses claires malgré tout car la mise en parallèle des différents pays permet de se situer. Le seul petit reproche, c'est les allers et retours dans les dates, mais rien de bien méchant. L'ensemble est très bien organisé, mais attention, ce n'est pas un petit livre pour se faire une idée, c'est un livre complet pour qui veut vraiment se documenter, et qui encourage à consulter d'autres ouvrages, parmi les dizaines cités d'ailleurs dans les notes accompagnatrices. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The late twentieth century has witnessed the emergence of an unexpected and extraordinary phenomenon: Islamist political movements. Beginning in the early 1970s, militants revolted against the regimes in power throughout the Muslim world and exacerbated political conflicts everywhere. Their jihad, or "Holy Struggle," aimed to establish a global Islamic state based solely on a strict interpretation of the Koran. Religious ideology proved a cohesive force, gathering followers ranging from students and the young urban poor to middle-class professionals.After an initial triumph with the Islamic revolution in Iran, the movement waged jihad against the USSR in Afghanistan, proclaiming for the first time a doctrine of extreme violence. By the end of the 1990s, the failure to seize political power elsewhere led to a split: movement moderates developed new concepts of "Muslim democracy" while extremists resorted to large-scale terrorist attacks around the world.Jihad is the first extensive, in-depth attempt to follow the history and geography of this disturbing political-religious phenomenon. Fluent in Arabic, Gilles Kepel has traveled throughout the Muslim world gathering documents, interviews, and archival materials inaccessible to most scholars, in order to give us a comprehensive understanding of the scope of Islamist movements, their past, and their present. As we confront the threat of terrorism to our lives and liberties, Kepel helps us make sense of the ominous reality of jihad today. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The seeds of the destructing of jihad are found in the phenomenon itself. Kepel writes: 'Paradoxically, the Islamist experience itself has produced some of the conditions that have led to its own obsolescence. In the ranks of veiled female militants demanding application of the Sharia we see, in many cases, the first generation of women to speak in public outside their homes and beyond their domestic role' (p. 13).
By inference, the real challenge to Western democracies is not jihad, but sharia, which is more insidious and the West, consider Eurabia for example, has no in-built defense against an enemy that implodes Western liberties from within.
