MES 17.07 Radical Islam: Jihadis, Salafīs, and Radical Reformists in the 20th and 21st Century

Many academics, including Muslim academics, assert that Jih\\\\u0101dism is “not religious” or “not really Islamic.” Nonetheless, members of these movements see themselves sincerely as the vanguard of the “real” Islam. This course is about how violent reformists fit into the Islamic heritage, and, as importantly, how they fit into global sociological, religious, and political tendencies characteristic of the modern world. Are these movements’ “Islamic;” are they “modern?” Why are they simply irrelevant to most Muslims?
