All Politics Are God's Politics: Moroccan Islamism and the Sacralization of Democracy

Ahmed Khanani

In All Politics are God's Politics, Khanani shows that in fact, the opposite holds true: for socially conservative, politically active Muslims (Islamists), democracy or dimuqr�a�tiyya reflects and extends their religious values. By drawing on conversations with over 100 Islamists in Morocco, this book enables readers to understand and appreciate the significance of dimuqr�a�tiyya as a concept alongside new prospects for Islam and democracy in the Arab Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Khanani's in-depth analysis of the Moroccan case brings these Islamists and their attending political views to the forefront. Unfolding in a region marked by upheavals and academic inability to diagnose significant political developments, All Politics are God's Politics contends that by attending to ordinary language everyday citizens use, one can in fact begin to accurately understand politics. Readers will discover that by connecting Islam to dimuqr�a�tiyya, Islamists alter the meanings of both Islam and dimuqr�a�tiyya, broaching new, democratic forms of Islam and rendering the everyday practices of dimuqr�a�tiyya, like protesting electoral violations, protecting freedom of speech, and voting sacred"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
