| Post-Islamism between Asef Bayat and Ali Harb |
| 2018-09-20 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] In a recent television interview with La Belle France 24, Ali Harb spoke about his book, ’Jihad and its End ‐ Post-Islamism’. He starts with his well-known critical ideas. Harb has reached the peak of critical production in the early years of the millennium as he produced writings and bold commentaries beyond the projects of modernity. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, Harb has been engaged in analyzing violence, extremism and fundamentalism, but his approach is more that of someone who wonders and contemplates rather than that of someone who narrates what he knows about the complexities of Sharia and the details of Fiqh arguments, as his colleagues do. As such, the content of his book presents post-Islamism in the same way he discussed post modernism, post reality and post-deconstruction. Islamism with its phenomena and movements is blown away by the winds of changes, new intellectual horizons and advanced methodological tools; only when Islam is a symbolic of a network of unifying values. |
