Highlights
The beginning of the 20th century has witnessed the rising of Islamic resurgence movement, commonly called Islamic fundamentalism or extremism, which is the focus of interest for political obseIVers and policy-makers all over the world
The tendency of some scholars to view future world conflicts in terms of inherent contradictions between Islam and Western democracy does not cease to prevail in the perception of Islamic revivalism, which can be attributed to the general lack of sufficient theoretical studies of the political ideologies of Islamic resurgence
Seeking to dispel many erroneous and imprecise notions concerning Islamic resurgence movement in-depth studies of political ideologies of Islamic resurgence on the theoretical level are necessary, which would contribute to foreseeing the future development process ofthe movement and its relation to Western democracy that could put an end to escalation of future conflicts concerning Muslim countries
