Is political Islam decipherable through the tenets of the Islamic tradition - or is it a tool of secular actors who misuse religious references? Is it an expression of modernity, or a return to the past? Jocelyne Cesari demystifies the continuous process of interaction between secular and religious actors and institutions that is at the core of political mobilization in the name of Islam.
