| This
course deals with Islamic political movements in the modern
and contemporary Muslim world. Two prominent Islamist
movements emerged in the twentieth century Muslim world: The
Jama'at-I-Islami of India and Pakistan and the Muslim
Brotherhood Movement of Egypt and the Arab world. Both of
these movements advocated the revival of Islam through
political means. In addition to these movements, the course
will discuss other minor movements such as the Jama'ah al-Islamiyyah
and Jihad of Egypt, the Lasghar Jihad of Indonesia, the
Tanzeem Islami of Pakistan, and the Taliban of Afghanistan.
Besides focusing on the political agendas of these movements,
the course will highlight their religious and intellectual
origins and their stand on such issues as secularism, social
justice, the West, modernity, and democracy in contemporary
Muslim societies.
