Traditional Islam in the modern world

---

The extensive interest in Islam displayed in recent years in many Western circles, far from helping to make the various aspects of Islam better known, has often caused confusion. Distortions have also resulted from the passion which the subject arouses and from the vested interest that numerous parties have in the kind of treat- ment that Islam is given.

A few decades ago, Muslims could justly complain of the distor- tions present in studies by orientalists and Islamicists; also of the lack of interest on the part of the general Western public in matters Islamic. Today, thanks to genuine attempts by certain sections of the Islamic world to reassert their Islamic character and to seek to preserve the Islamic tradition, but also as a result of the unfortunate use of Islam by all kinds of political forces, apathy towards subjects of an Islamic nature has certainly diminished. A number of new misinterpretations have, however, arisen to supplement those of the more classical orientalists. There now exists a substantial body of journalistic treatments of Islamic subjects perpetrated in the name of scholarship [or masquerading as scholarship); a leftist and often explicitly Marxist treatment of Islam, which has now moved out of the specifically identified Communist sphere to the West and even to certain parts of the Islamic world; and, finally, a new so-called resurgent or 'fundamentalist' Islam, which currently pro- duces a quantitatively substantial literature in the European lan- guages and plays no small role, in both words and deeds, in forming the image of Islam in the West.
