Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A comprehensive overview of the most misunderstood movement in modern Islam: Salafism.The Salafi movement invokes fear and dread in outsiders who treat Salafism as synonymous with religious extremism. For Salafis themselves, it's a jealously guarded title, always in danger of dilution. Salafism has changed the face of Islam; its ideas reach far outside its own ranks. Yet popular portrayals never go beyond hackneyed stereotypes.In Understanding Salafism, Dr Yasir Qadhi delves into the origins of the movement, from the earliest debates in Islam to Salafism today, in both the Western and Islamic worlds. In an analysis covering Salafism in the Middle East, Europe, the United States and Africa, he illuminates Salafism's theological ideas, the debates within Salafism about political participation, and its relationship to other schools in Sunni Islam. -----Yasir Qadhi is a resident scholar of the East Plano Islamic Center in Texas, and dean of the Islamic Seminary of America. He is one of the few people who has combined a traditional Eastern Islamic seminary education with Western academic training in the study of Islam. -----Table of Contents List of Figures Preface Conventions 1  Introduction: A Bird's Eye View of Salafism2  A Comprehensive History of Salafi Thought: From its Origins to Modernity3  Wahhabism and Salafism4  Salafism and Islamism: A Case Study of the Muslim Brotherhood5  The Phenomenon of Jihadi-Salafism6  Global Salafism in the Contemporary WorldEpilogueNotesBibliography Index
