	Olivier Roy - SourceWatch
		Olivier Roy is senior researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research.
		'Roy compared contemporary Islamic radicals with leftist radical groups of the 1970s, such as the Red Brigade in Italy and the Baader-Meinhof gang in Germany.
		Roy cited the Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which calls for the non-violent reestablishment of an Islamic caliphate across the Middle East and Central Asia, as an example of the current trend.

	Islam in a Changing World - Council on Foreign Relations
		OLIVIER ROY: For the Dutch, it is obviously some sort of an earthquake, because not only it is one of the few political murders in the Netherlands, but also it means the end of some sort of Dutch dream, you know, of the positive perception of multiculturalism.
		ROY: The problem is for me that this new generation of, you know, young radicals is— they have a problem: either they can root themselves in a Muslim community, find some sort of social and political demographic basis, you know, and manipulate the Muslim population to achieve that goal.
		ROY: Well, I have the idea— the main critique about Ramadan is about the double-speech, you know, that he says one thing when he’s on the TV and one— other things when he’s teaching to the young Muslims in the suburbs.

	An Interview With Olivier Roy
		Roy: Pakistan is deliberately undermining the Karzaï regime.
		Roy: The greatest challenge ahead is the ethnic divide between Pashtuns and non-Pashtuns, and more precisely the merging of Islamic fundamentalism with Pashtun identity, as illustrated by the coalition which took power in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province.
		Roy: One of the first things to do is to coordinate the political and the military level among the international community.

	Amazon.com: The Failure of Political Islam: Books: Olivier Roy,Carol Volk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Roy claims that Islamism rejects political philosophy, since it sees no separation between religion and politics (unlike traditional Islamic culture, he is careful to point out, differentiating himself from the Orientalists), it sees no role for institutions, and sees "virtue" as the only necessary leadership quality.
		Olivier Roy, in the tendency of another French scholar Gilles Kepel, challenges the clash of civilizations concept and suggests that Political islam has failed because it has proven itself incapable of bringing about desirable changes in the poltical and socio-economic spheres in the Islamic world.
		Olivier Roy is basically the founder of the francophone position that Islamism is basically a failure and its nastier incarnations are the result of this failures rather than its successes.

	Review of The Failure of Political Islam
		For Roy, the former means the drive for political power, and the latter means focusing on the family and the mosque.
		Roy is a very knowledgeable student of Islam, even a brilliant one, whose (well-translated) book is replete with fine insights and memorable epigrams.
		Here, however, Roy misses the point: the realization that fundamentalism does not work could be years or decades off; in the meantime, as the Marxist-Leninist precedent shows, regimes can do a great deal of mischief to their own populace and the rest of the world.

		Roy perceptively argues that the attempt to create one universal Islamist state is doomed to failure because of the conflicts between Sunni and Shia forms and other ethnic differences in the Islamic world.
		Olivier Roy demonstrates that the Islamic Fundamentalism of today is still the Third Worldism of the 1960s: populist politics and mixed economies of laissez-faire for the rich and subsidies for the poor.
		In Roy's striking formulation, those marching today beneath Islam's green banners are the same as the "reds" of yesterday, with similarly dim prospects of success.

	Religioscope: Globalized Islam - Interview with Olivier Roy
		According to Roy's analysis, contemporary Islamic projects are becoming increasingly disconnected from a particular territory, partly as a consequence of the failure of all attempts to build an Islamic state.
		In this interview, Olivier Roy shares some of his observations, as well as developments in his analysis, with the readers of Religioscope.
		Olivier Roy - The new forms of religiosity are becoming increasingly detached from traditional cultures and societies and tend to create new, purely religious communities, based on the “them-and-us” dichotomy.

	Mere Islam: T. J. Winter, Olivier Roy & Irshad Manji in Dialogue
		Olivier Roy, prominent French academic and author of Globalized Islam: The Search for a New Ummah (2003) and The Failure of Political Islam (1996).
		That having been said, I recommended picking up one of Olivier Roy's books since he offers some interesting insights that are likely to enhance your understanding of what's going on in the world today.
		Roy: "So this shows that the revolt in the name of Islam is not I would say backlash of the traditional Muslim identity against liberalisation, but on the contrary; it is seen by many uprooted young boys as the new cause to fight Society with a big 'S' and the US imperialism."

		There's an op-ed in the New York Times today by Olivier Roy arguing that Iraq is not the underlying cause of al Qaeda terrorism.
		Roy holds up as evidence that not many Iraqis or Afghans have been radicalized.
		Ultimately, I think Roy misses a subtle point - people are more likely to buy into the jihadist message of al Qaeda that begets terrorism because of Iraq rather than "turning fundamentalist" because of the war.

	Globalized Islam; The Search for a New Ummah; Olivier Roy
		"Olivier Roy [is] one of the two most distinguished contemporary commentators on the Muslim Middle East and Central Asia.
		Neofundamentalism has been gaining ground among a rootless Muslim youth—particularly among the second- and third-generation migrants in the West—and this phenomenon is feeding new forms of radicalism, ranging from support for Al Qaeda to the outright rejection of integration into Western society.
		In this brilliant exegesis of the movement of Islam beyond traditional borders and its unwitting westernization, Olivier Roy argues that Islamic revival, or "re-Islamization," results from the efforts of westernized Muslims to assert their identity in a non-Muslim context.

	Secularism Confronts Islam; ; Olivier Roy
		However, as Roy makes clear in this book, Muslim intellectuals have made it possible for Muslims to live concretely in a secularized world while maintaining the identity of a "true believer." They have formulated a language that recognizes two spaces: that of religion and that of the order of the world.
		In recognizing this, Roy hopes to introduce a new element into the current debate concerning Islam and democracy.
		Olivier Roy is a professor at EHESS, the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences in Paris, and a world authority on Islam and politics.

	Whither Political Islam? (On Olivier Roy's & Gilles Kepel's books)
		Ascribing the violence of one's adversaries to their culture is self-serving: it goes a long way toward absolving oneself of any responsibility.
		The singular merit of two new books by Gilles Kepel and Olivier Roy is that they take the debate about the rise of political Islam beyond culture talk.
		He dismisses "the culturalist approach" that treats Islam as "the issue" and that assumes it bears a relation to every preoccupation of the moment, from suicide bombings and jihad to democracy and secularism.
