The term Islamic fundamentalism is often laden with negative connotations in today's media. Mahboob A. Khawaja, in Muslims and the West, argues for a new understanding of what fundamentalism really is.
Khawaja, who is not identified, analyzes the political and religious factors contributing to the western scholarly concept, phenomenon, and issue of Islamic fundamentalism; its consequences for change, peace, and conflict resolution; and its impact on contemporary relationships between the Islamic world and the west. He has not indexed his study. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
