The past 30 years have witnessed the rise of political parties and other formal groups in the Middle East and elsewhere with Islamic agendas. Events from the Iranian Revolution of 1978-79 to the attacks of September 11, 2001, have led some to conclude that the United States is on a collision course with Islam, the religion of one-fifth of the world's population. The sourcebook aims to enhance our understanding of the Islamist phenomenon by presenting some sixty to eighty documents, written by Islamists themselves, which shed light on the origins, goals, and practices of Islamic-focused groups and movements throughout the Muslim world.

The religion of Islam represents about one-fifth of the world's population and many people have been seeking knowledge and information about the practices of this faith. This reference book provides the unique insight that comes from the writings of the followers of this faith themselves. A thorough bibliography and index as well as a preface and introduction help the reader get the most from this book. This timely book would be an especially good addition to the public or academic library."-Library Media Connection
