Description

From the cleric-led Iranian revolution to the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, many people have been surprised by what they see as the modern reemergence of an antimodern phenomenon. This book talks about the increasingly visible public role of traditionally educated Muslim religious scholars (the 'ulama) across contemporary Muslim societies.
