As Islam spreads throughout the world, Muslims living in their traditional homelands and in the Western world are grappling with shifting identities. In all cases, understanding the dynamics of identity-based politics is critical to the future of Muslims and their neighbors across the globe.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMuslims in Global Politics\u003c\/i\u003e, Mahmood Monshipouri examines the role identity plays in political conflicts in six Muslim nations-Egypt, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Iran, and Indonesia-as well as in Muslim diaspora communities in Europe and North America. In each instance, he describes how conservatives, neofundamentalists, reformists, and secularists construct identity in different ways and how these identities play out in the political arena. With globalization, the demand for human rights continues to grow in the Muslim world, and struggles over modernity, authenticity, legitimacy, and rationality become increasingly important.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMuslims in Global Politics\u003c\/i\u003e deepens our understanding of how modern ideas and norms interact with the traditions of the Islamic world and, in turn, shows how human rights advocates can provide an alternative to militant Islamist movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface: Muslims' Struggles for Identities, Interests, and Human Rights\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1.
