Synopsis

Political Islam: Myth and Reality is a book that addresses the topic of Islamic political parties and movements within the Muslim societies contexts. The book delves into analyzing the definition of political Islam and the multi-layered means these Islamic groups use to identify themselves politically and how they practice their influence on the theology of the Islamic religion using different violent means.

The author highlights the consequences of Political Islam on international peace, security and prosperity and questions the credibility of their claim on establishing equitable and democratic societies, while highlighting the correlation between political Islam and violence and examining the case of Muslim Brotherhood Organization and how it became a role model for other groups to recreate similar movements and promote radicalism, extremism and terrorism. The author moves on to investigate the weakening and potential rebirth of political Islam in the aftermath of ISIS.
