Political Islam in the Age of Democratization Reviews

Bokhari and Senzai present a generally persuasive, informed, and nuanced conceptual framework for understanding different 'Islamists' behavior in relation to democracy' and the different ways democracy can be interpreted and operationalized within Islamic societies ... . Overall, this book constitutes a must read for students of Muslim politics; it is an informative, resourceful, and easily comprehensible text for anyone who desires to understand political Islam today.
