 Review of The Challenge of Fundamentalism: Political Islam and the New World Disorder
Stylistically, Tibi's studies are a challenge to read: verbose and verging on the pompous, they are replete with references to the author's prior publications and his self-importance.
Tibi, professor of international relations at the University of Göttingen, forcefully argues that Islamism (in contrast to Islam) "poses a grave challenge to world politics, security, and stability."
Rather than repeat the stale arguments about Islamism caused by economic travails, Tibi understands that identity problems are the key factor, a result of the traumatic Muslim counter with modernity.
