The continued prominence of Islam in the struggle for democracy in the Muslim world has confounded Western democracy theorists who largely consider secularism a prerequisite for democratic transitions. Kamran Bokhari and Farid Senzai offer a comprehensive view of the complex nature of contemporary political Islam and its relationship to democracy.
Introducing a useful theoretic framework, this book provides a compelling and insightful analysis of Islamism and the role that religion will play in future Muslim democracies
