Political Science & International Relations

Description

The main objective of this topic is to provide a detailed panorama of the causes of Islamic Revival and radicalization of Islam, particularly in the region of Middle East. In this perspective, it’s somehow puzzling to at the first sight that Arab World used to be a leader in the science, military and science, is now paradoxically a region characterized by unrest and turmoil. Contrary to the past decades where peace was a distinctive peculiarity of the region and economy flourished, now is overwhelmed by the phenomena of the Radicalization of Islam for political purposes and to come to power. The Arab world blames the western powers for their stagnation, poverty, and lack of improvement in a wide range of fields. This may be considered only some of the causes of Islamic Revival and radicalization. Lack of proper education illiteracy is an underlying factor that leads to extremism. As a result there have been founded numerous fundamentalist groups such as Al-Shaabab, Boko Harram, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic State which pose a potential threat to peace and democracy and have caused many victims as a result of terrorist attacks.
