Claims abound that Saudi oil money is fuelling Salafi Islam in cultural and geographical
terrains as disparate as the remote hamlets of the Swat valley in Pakistan and sprawling
megacities such as Jakarta. In a similar manner, it is often regarded as a fact that
Iran and the Sunni Arab states are fighting proxy wars in foreign lands. This empirically
grounded study challenges the assumptions prevalent within academic as well as policy
circles about hegemonic power of such Islamic discourses and movements to penetrate
all Muslim communities and societies. Through case studies of academic institutions
the volume illustrates how transmission of ideas is an extremely complex process,
and the outcome of such efforts depends not just on the strategies adopted by backers
of those ideologies but equally on the characteristics of the receipt communities.
In order to understand this complex interaction between the global and local Islam
and the plurality in outcomes, the volume focuses on the workings of three universities
with global outreach, and whose graduating students carry the ideas acquired during
their education back to their own countries, along with, in some cases, a zeal to
reform their home society. Key Features: Focuses on case studies of three of the most
influential international centres of Islamic learning in contemporary times: Al-Azhar
University in Egypt, International Islamic University of Medina in Saudi Arabia, and
Al-Mustafa University in Iran *Traces the activities and influence of graduates in
their home communities to show how ideas are transmitted from one locale to another
and how this process often induces adjustments within those ideas *Takes a comparative
appoach with cases from North and West Africa and Southeast Asia
