Trial of a Thousand Years: World Order and Islamism

"A Muslim has no nationality except his religious beliefs," said Egyptian Sayyid Qutb, a key figure in the world of political Islam who was executed by the secular regime in his homeland in 1966. For the Islamists, the normal diplomatic order, constructed by unbelievers and accepted by state regimes across the Arab Islamic world, is no order of theirs. In this book, Charles Hill presents a detailed historical perspective on the assault of Islamism against the order of states.
