As \u003ci\u003eThe Challenge of Political Islam\u003c\/i\u003e reveals, Egyptian Islamists today are more integrated into the political arena than ever, and are voicing a broad spectrum of positions, including a vision of Islamic citizenship more inclusive of non-Muslims. Based on Islamist writings, political tracts, and interviews with Islamists--including members of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and other important contemporary thinkers--this book looks closely at how modern, politically-oriented Egyptian Islamists perceive non-Muslims in an Islamic state and how non-Muslims respond. Clarifying the movement's aims, this work uncovers how Islamists have responded to the pressures of modernity, the degree to which the movement has been influenced by both a historical Islamic framework and Western modes of political thinking, and the necessity to reconsider the notion that secularism is a precondition for toleration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47606970482839,"sku":"9780804769051","price":11949.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780804769051.webp?v=1775043989","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-challenge-of-political-islam-non-muslims-and-the-egyptian-state-9780804769051","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
