Offence: The Muslim Case Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In recent years, countless politicians and commentators have been addressing the Quran in an attempt to understand the rise of Muslim extremist ideology.

They have missed the point: the most significant factor in this phenomenon is to be found within the particular circumstances of individual nation-states.

Islam as a static global and temporal entity is a myth.

The reality reflects a wide variety of experience founded on the co-mingling of religion, cultural and national and international politics.

It is inside this individual complexity that battle-lines have been drawn and the fight waged within Islam itself, often largely unremarked upon by the world outside.

Through a consideration of the case of Pakistan, this volume seeks to place the recent surge in extremist Islam within the framework of the nation-state, and to sharpen those dangerously blurred distinctions between the Merely Offended and the Violently Offended in the course of examining the causes of offence.
