The Crisis of Islamic Civilization

Islam, central to the lives of over a billion people, faces a monumental crisis. Buffeted by the imperial expansion of the West, modernity, and now globalization, Islamic civilization today is a shadow of its former self. In his provocative book, Ali A. Allawi explores how colonial rule began the unraveling of Islamic institutions, laws, and economies, often replacing them with inadequate modern equivalents. He examines the rise of political Islam and its terrorist offshoots, and the increasing religiosity of Muslim societies. Allawi argues that Islamic civilization cannot survive without the vital spirituality that once underpinned it. He offers a set of principles for moving forward that are both surprising and essential.
