Olivier Roy at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs
July 12, 2007 | 27 Jumada al-Thanni 1428

In lieu of the previous post, I thought I’d add this link to some material by Olivier Roy, the author of The Political Failure of Islam, has written a new book, Globalized Islam: The Search for a New Ummah, as a sort of sequel or follow up to the first book. Roy was invited to speak at CCEIA. I found his talk to be quite insightful. Here’s a link to the video, audio and transcript. Enjoy.

    Roy is off his mark regarding Algeria which is his bailiwick.
    The Muslim FIS in Algeria is superceded by the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) which is exceedingly violent. Thanks!

    To be sure, there are some items that I might contend with over Roy but I do find the work a good stimulating read.
