Islamic Fundamentalism 3rd Edition by Youssef M Choueiri
By viewing Islamic fundamentalism as a reactive response to modern challenges and political structures, this book presents analysis of how and why Islamic values have become such a potent contemporary political force, and sheds light on a much-misunderstood situation.
"A comprehensive study that puts forward among other useful interpretations the idea that Islamic fundamentalism represents "the latest and perhaps the last attempt to establish a totalitarian Islamic state" Choueiri also demonstrates that even Islamists most intent on rejecting the "other" in favor of an Islamist authenticity often rely on ideologies advanced by outsiders." - Professor L. Carl Brown, Princeton University, USA
