In Islamic Activists, Deina Ali Abdelkader shows us what Islamic leaders and activists believe and what they think about just governance.Explaining and comparing Islamist ideas, including those about leadership, justice and minority rights, Abdelkader explains how these have been represented in the writings of important historical and contemporary Islamists. In doing so, Abdelkader reveals that democracy is not the sole preserve of those who support Enlightenment values, offering the reader a chance to understand the populist non-violent side of Islamic activism. This includes an examination of the ideas of the leaders of the populist Islamist movements in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco.Islamic Activists is essential reading for serious students and scholars of Islamic political theory and action. 606 $aIslam and politics 606 $aMuslims$xPolitical activity 606 $aCivilization, Western$xIslamic influences 615 0$aIslam and politics. 615 0$aMuslims$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aCivilization, Western$xIslamic influences. 676 $a297.2/72 686 $aMC 9100$2rvk 700 $aAbdelkader$b Deina Ali$01668007 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827959603321 996 $aIslamic activists$94028279 997 $aUNINA
