Synopsis
Based on eyewitness accounts and original interviews, this bold new work provides a vivid portrayal of the evolving political and cultural role played by Islamic fundamentalist movements. Drawing on his first-hand experiences, Mark Huband moves deep inside the contemporary Islamic movements of countries as diverse as Morocco and Afghanistan. Huband reveals how Western powers have contributed to the rise of Islamic movements by their earlier support of the Afghan Islamic resistance and gives detailed accounts of his discussions with militant groups, Muslim scholars, and political opponents of the Islamic movements. Enriching these discussions, the author contextualizes the movements by exploring their historical and intellectual framework. The book uniquely illustrates the variety found within the movements, as well as the range of relationships the Islamic movements have to the various countries in which they are active. Warriors of the Prophet details the current crisis in Algeria the disappointments of Arab nationalism and socialist experiments in Egypt the social breakdown of Somalia in relation to the ideal of an Islamic way of life the disaffected youth in the Islamic movements of Morocco, Egypt, and elsewhere and the Islamic experiment and its relationship with the non-Islamic world as revealed in Sudan's experience since 1989.
