Sažetak
The core question that Tibi poses in this book is weather the Islamists that rose to power during the Arab Spring would bring about a genuine democracy. This question is answered through six chapters: The shari’a state and Western scholarship: the reality of the Islamist shari’atization of politics that seeks a name ; The shari’a state is not the faith of Islam: shari’a and politics ; The challenge of the Islamist shari’a state to international order: torn between the Westphalian synthesis, Pax Americana and Pax Islamica ; Shari’a and Islamism in the ‘Arab Spring’: from the promise of blossoming spring to a frosty and lethal winter ; From traditional shari’a reasoning to Islamist shari’atization of politics in post-Arab Spring ; Torn between combating prejudice and the accusation of Islamophobia: the shari’a state and policing speech in the debate ‘Whither Islamic civilization?’.
