Reception of Islamic Radicalism

Summary/Abstract: This paper gives an analysis of a typical reception of the philosophy of Islamic radicalism in the West. The first part of the paper explores modern versions of these radical teachings and their connection with Islamic tradition and modern western political teachings. In the second part of the paper the author shows the extent to which Islamic political radicalism is a result of the logic of the situation and the decades-long crisis in the Near East. In that context we can conclude that radical Islamic teachings emerged primarily as a reaction to imperialistic politics of the West, instead of being a result of frustration at the disintegration of the former Caliphate.
