The emergence of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria – ISIS - at the tail end
of Arab Spring confirmed once again that the import of Western democracy to the
Middle Eastern and North Africa (MENA) is not a cure to the deeply-rooted sociopolitical problems of that region.
Numerous Muslim thought leaders and governments have denounced the ISIS
brutalities as being anti-Islamic and antithetical to the core principles of the religion.
Yet, the self-styled leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, claims global authority of
the Muslim ummah in the manner of the caliphs of old. |
