'Demant's book is both a survey of Islam's history and status worldwide and an analysis of Islamism and its position within the Muslim world. Demant argues that Islamism is Islam's greatest "dilemma" today, and that the outcome will determine Islam's future. He sees Islamism, especially its violent, anti-modern version, as itself a modern movement, born of and yet at war with modernity. While Islamists use modern weapons and information technology and seek to impose a modern-type universal and culture-free vision, they deny the bases of modernity--human reason and human sovereignty--and claim to be bulwarking the ummah against its perils. Demant argues convincingly that the real clash of civilizations is not the Judeo-Christian West against Islam, but a universalized modernity that could make room for a reformed and tolerant version of Islam against a radically anti-modern strain of political Islam that turns the tools and weapons of modernity against itself....[t]he analytical sections are relevant, innovative, and convincing, making the book a valuable resource. Recommended. Graduate students and professionals.'-Choice, "ÝD¨emant has contributed another book to the growing library of information on Islam. Divided into three sections-"Yesterday," "Today," and "Tomorrow"-his text covers the history, current events, and future of Islam.

Synopsis
Explores the tension within the Muslim world between modern reformers and Islamists, or Islamic fundamentalists, and examines the alarming rise of Islamism in recent years and its connection to terrorism and political violence., Islam vs. Islamism introduces the Islamic world's diversity, conflicts, and dilemmas--its origins, extraordinary creativity, and current crisis, the result of its unhappy encounter with Western modernity. Particular attention is given to Islamism, Islam's radically antimodern and often violent revision that is causing turmoil in the Middle East and beyond. Islam vs. Islamism introduces the reader to the Islamic world, to its diversity and conflicts, and to possible solutions to those conflicts. Steering clear of either Islamophilia or Muslim-bashing, yet avoiding blandness, Demant explains the origins of Islam, its history, and its position in today's world. After a period of extraordinary expansion and creativity, and a long sequel of decline, the Islamic world is now in deep crisis, caused by Islam's unhappy encounter with the West and its modernity. Islamic societies have tried a variety of approaches to escape from their predicament, but the result has only been to deepen Muslim powerlessness and Muslims' feelings of frustration. Then came Islamism (Islamic fundamentalism) with its revolutionary but antimodern proposal to refashion Muslim society after the Prophet's original model. Islamism has had unsettling results, first in Islam's heartlands, then along its multiple frontiers, and finally in confrontation with the West itself. Among the outcomes has been an ascending wave of terrorism. But violence is not the whole story. Extremism represents no more than a minority within Islam. Although co-existence with violent fundamentalists is a hopeless task, the questions Islamists raise are serious and evoke echoes in the hearts of many more Muslims. To prevent a war of civilizations, dialogue with the moderate majority of Muslims is more urgent than ever. This book is one step on that long road., Islam vs. Islamism introduces the reader to the Islamic world, to its diversity and conflicts, and to possible solutions to those conflicts.
