12578. THE ISLAMIC THREAT: MYTH OR REALITY? BY JOHN ESPOSITO. Actually, a summary of a small portion of this book, comparing the "first generation" of Islamic modernists (Al-Afghani, M. Abduh and M. Igbal) who became prominent after the 1880's. with a later group that may be called "Islamic neorevivalists" (H.al-Banna, m.A.A. Mawdudi, and S. Qutb). Afghani was the first to say that Muslims should study the science of the West, in order to further Islamic causes, while al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Mawdudi founded the Jamaat-i-Islami in Pakistan, movements that started with personal and social transformation and became political. Study covers the similarities and differences of these two groups, finds militancy of second group explained by the lack of Muslim power and progress in the second half of the 20th Century. 9p., 17 notes in text, 1b.   $63
