Description
This book presents a provocative analysis of the connections between Islamic extremism and 20th-century fascist movements. The author draws on historical connections and contemporary examples to expose the fascist underpinnings of various extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and ISIS.
The author's incisive examination reveals how the earliest exploits of Islam have influenced current politics in the Islamic world, and how fascist tendencies have been present throughout the history of mainstream Islam. A thought-provoking and well-researched work, this book is based on a lecture given by the author in Cairo, which sparked a call for his death by three prominent Egyptian clerics.
