Product Description
Although more than half of the world's Muslims live in Asia, most books on contemporary Islam focus on the Middle East,
giving short shift to the dynamic and diverse presence of Asian Islam in regional and global politics. The Muslims of Asia
constitute the largest Muslim communities in the world - Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Central Asia. In recent
years, terrorist bombings in Bali, separatist conflicts in Thailand and the Philippines, and opposition politics in Central
Asia, all point to the strategic importance of Asian Islam.
In Asian Islam in the 21st Century, terrorism and its effects are placed within the broader context of Muslim politics and
how Islamic ideals and movements, mainstream and extremist, have shaped Asian Muslim societies. Democratization experiments
-- successful and unsuccessful -- are examined. The rise of radical militant movements is analyzed and placed in historical
perspective. The result is an insightful portrait of the rich diversity of Muslim politics and discourse that continue to
affect Asian Muslim majority and minority countries.
Specialists and students of Islamic studies, religion and international affairs, and comparative politics as well as general
readers will benefit from this sorely needed comprehensive analysis of a part of the world that has become increasingly
important in the 21st century.
