Through a political and historical analysis of Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan-countries that represent the religious, ethnic, and ideological spectrum of the Muslim world-it explores whether or not Islam as a political religion and civilization can provide a preferable alternative to Western capitalist democracy. Sayeed argues that although Islamic fundamentalism, particularly in its militant and violent form, lacks the potential to become such a system, some of the major Islamic ideas, if reinterpreted and reformulated, can provide a viable alternative to Western political and economic dominance, especially in the Middle and Near East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khalid Bin Sayeed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791422666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791422663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 5.86w x 0.45d","brand":"Khalid Bin Sayeed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448943849727,"sku":"9780791422663","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8d2434f-b0eb-4a61-8cc5-676b08105e66.jpg?v=1777261283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/western-dominance-and-political-islam-khalid-bin-sayeed-9780791422663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
