Euben (political science, Wellesley College) and Zaman (Near Eastern studies and religion, Princeton U.) present an anthology of modern Islamist thought, including texts from Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb of the Muslim Brotherhood; Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei, the founding figure of Iran's Islamic Revolution; Muhhamed Baqir al-Sadr of Iraq; the Palestinian group Hamas; Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah of Lebanon (who is often erroneously referred to by the corporate media as the "spiritual leader of Hezbollah"); Afghanistan's Taliban; Osama bin Laden of al-Qaeda; and 9/11 hijacker Muhammad Atta. Introductory essays are included for each. Their objective is to both identify the commonalities among Islamist thinkers as well as to highlight the heterogeneity of their arguments and ideas.
