Islam Instrumentalized: Religion and Politics in Historical Perspective - Cambridge Studies in Economics, Choice, and Society
Platteau, Jean-Philippe (Universite de Namur, Belgium)
This book challenges the widespread view that Islam is a reactionary religion that defends tradition against modernity and individual freedom. Jean-Philippe Platteau shows how Islam is vulnerable to political manipulation and how the threat of religious extremism is especially high because Islam is not organized as a centralized church.
