Exploring Muslim Contexts
Shaping Global Islamic Discourses: The Role of al-Azhar, al-Medina and al-Mustafa
This book challenges the assumptions prevalent within academic as well as policy circles about hegemonic power of such Islamic discourses and movements to penetrate all Muslim communities and societies. It illustrates how transmission of ideas is an extremely complex process, and the outcome of such efforts depends not just on the strategies adopted by backers of those ideologies but equally on the characteristics of the receipt communities.
