Article: Radical Muslim Politics from Comparative Perspective: Theological Deprivation as the Major Source of Hizb ut-Tahrir’s Influence

Another recent article bridging the research agendas on political theology and anti-democracy: Ihsan Yilmaz (Fatih University), "Radical Muslim Politics from Comparative Perspective: Theological Deprivation as the Major Source of Hizb ut-Tahrir’s Influence" ("Uluslararası Hukuk ve Politika: Review of International Law and Politics", 6 [23], 2010: pp. 99-117).

Quote: "This study is a comparative qualitative analysis of radical Muslim politics. It focuses on the transnational anti-systemic and anti-democracy Hizb ut-Tahrir (hereinafter referred to as HT) that aims to establish a global Muslim state called Caliphate by non-violence means. ... [O]ur analysis of three countries (Britain, Uzbekistan and Egypt) ... suggests that theological deprivation is the major factor that paves the way for radicalization of the Muslim youth when socio-economic and political deprivations already exist."
